May I ask where you source your wire? Always looking for new sources!

May I ask where you got the multi plug? Looks great!

These things were my babies! I intended to use them for commuting, but because of the pandemic they primarily lived in my ears at a desk or couch and right back into the supplied case otherwise. No kids/pets so I doubt they were knocked about with me unaware. Yup, sent an email and heard back...

Well, I am just having my first issue with my MEST Mk2. I've had them since March 2021 and when I put them on at my desk today noticed some distortion on the R side. Then I noticed a rattling sound when moving my head around. When taking off the IEM a light shake reproduces the rattling sound so...

Where did you source materials besides plussound? The cable looks great!

Made myself a new short cable with miniaturized mini-xlr. Mostly this was a case of "I did it because I could, not because I should". Surprisingly sounds pretty good balanced out of the Qudelix and is nice when I don't want to be tied to my desktop. The other cool thing is I can leave it...

May I ask where you did get it?

I don't tknow if it is them exactly, but I have used the Redco HP3C in a few builds which look very similar.

On first use I felt like it took 20-30 minutes with intermittent pushing to get the xelastec tips fully adjusted to my ear canals. Then another few minutes with each use to get the best fit. I also had to use the smallest size when I would normally use a medium or medium small tip to get the...

I was worried about the same thing and ended up drawing up a piece that attaches to the cable. I don't have CAD skills, but sent it to a friend who printed this for me (more pictures of the part). Have been using it for roughly a year now with good results and no danger to the wood. This was a...

I had the Aeon 2 for a bit at the same time as my VC. With full leather pads they are comparable. I mostly use hybrid Auteur pads which does decrease the isolation a little bit. Still have trouble hearing someone trying to get my attention with moderate volume music.

Just jumped on the Mk2 in 2.5mm. One of my sources is 1/4 in only and I would like to have some flexibility. Does anyone have a recommended 2.5mm Female to 1/4in Male adaptor? Doesn't seem like there are a ton of options.

I wanted to try R2R and Schiit had b-stock at the time. Plus it stacks so nicely with the Lyr 3 which I already had. And what's the point if it's not aesthetic? Honestly I would still like to try a D90 or similar for comparison, but I have been quite happy with the Bifrost 2 so I haven't had...

Currently using a Lyr 3 from a Bifrost 2, or an iFi Micro BL. Haven't tried anything fancier and am afraid to expand my horizons too much. Plan on building a Bottlehead crack later this year which will be my first non-hybrid tube amp.

If the side stayed the same with a cable L and R swap then it could be the source or the headphones. If a different source fixes it, likely the source. If nothing fixes it, send ZMF an email!

Did you already try switching L and R to see if it is the fault of the cable?

Most amps aren't designed to send/receive a mic signal in addition to the source audio which is why they all call for a splitter. The most recommended solutions if you don't want to use a dedicated cable would be to get something like a modmic or a desktop mic. I personally use a modmic with my...

Most 1/4 in connectors aren't able to carry a mic signal. Do you have a plan to get the mic signal to and from your source? Audeze sells a mic cable, but it is very thing and I found it low quality. It also uses the same adaptors and the mini-XLR plugs on Audeze headohones face a different...

We all do things we aren't proud of, lol After the heat shrink goes on no one can tell.

Said he would rather use cheap gold plated I believe. Either way, likely not hot enough or needs to rough it up a bit for best results.

They are furutech connectors so most likely rhodium which can be a bit finnicky from my understanding.

Recently finished a modular build. Currently don't run anything out of a balanced amp, but wanted to try it out and have the option ready for the future! Used 8-core cable from ali-express with plussound mini-xlr and 4.4 male for the main cable, seismic audio 1/4" male and a 4.4 female connector...

Amphenol makes them as well. I have been searching and haven't found many other options. I believe the poster above was referring to female connectors as I haven't seen any male from furutech.

Most b-stock seems to be for non-matching wood grain or small imperfections. All that i've seen have great finish. My VC and most I've seen here have unstained sections visible within the cutouts, but some are harder to see because of the wood and stains. For example, the darker woods don't...

That's exactly the point! With pads you can see a change on a graph, cables not so much. So when people claim a percentage difference with something immeasurable it brings out the worst in people who are against it. I know that we can't measure absolutely everything and don't care what people...
