Thanks for getting back to me. I noticed that when I plugged in to my macbook pro and my android tablet. I've now turned on the turbo mode to drive my Final E5000 with delicious bass and dynamic using the 4.4mm output. It's a really nice little gold 'nugget' I would say. Not really a gold 'bar'...

Hi all, I just got my Go Bar gold and am wondering what's the default volume when I plug in to a new device? I don't like the fact that I cannot see the current volume on the device and don't want to be surprised by a full blast volume whenever I plug in to another device.

I'm only using the copper cable that came with the iems and spinfit cp360 I have around for now and I have not encountered much fatigue or hot trebles. Then again I'm used to the DT1990s' sound so I'm not overly sensitive in this regard. I'll try listen to some bad recordings later (which I...

I agree that ranking iems can be murky business. As a consumer I'd just average the opinions from various people's impressions, take into consideration of price, different measurements, aesthetics, availability, build quality and customer support to choose my iems. My price range is always...

I'm sorry I've always thought you and Crinacle are the same person! Glad to see more contents from you two!

Have you tried/measured Audiosense T800? Any thought on these?

I saved a copy of this from an earlier post: from: "final????????" <support@final-audio-design.com> Thank you for contacting us and your consideration on our E type ear tips. The dimensions of them are stated as followed: Size Outer Diameter Length...

@Allanmarcus Just curious here. What sort of power tools are needed to fabricate woods and make panels like yours?

Nice work there Allan! 15V is most definitely cooler than my 22V. I'm thinking of changing the transformer to 15V/18V to run cooler as I don't need that much voltage swing. Did you fabricate the wood yourself?

It'd be nice to have a rep from Hifiman to address this driver issue here. Don't think most people will abuse their $1500+ headphones.

So does that mean higher current class A or A/B is better for planars like the Arya? How much current is enough? My diy Whammy has 60mA bias current which can be adjusted.

What do you think Arya is best suited for? On the other hand what's not so good for?

Hi @Tsukuyomi are you in Vancouver? Can you try out both the Ananda and Arya before deciding which one to go for? I'm interested in both but have no way to try out at my current location. :triportsad:

I'm thinking of just changing the pins of my existing adapter. The link for the pins doesn't work here? Anyone knows where I can find the correct pins?

Can you give me part number or link for the adapter I should be looking at? TIA!

So I just bought some SOIC op amps and dip adapters but the adapter's legs/pins are two big to fit in the dip socket! How do people roll SOIC op amps here?

Looking neat! My Whammy is burning in now. Just finished it over the weekend and it's sounding great! I think that has a lot to do with a clean power supply. It's my first serious build so I just watched the video by the designer who talked about how the caps help effectively eliminate ripple...

Don't know if you guys are following Cercle. Their channel is absolutely fantastic for techno fans!

Wow I'd be very interested to see a single rail, more compact version! I'd love to just use a switching supply if the performance stays the same. Please update or link if you have more information!

My first two attempts at diy cables during this past month. There's another power cable I made but it's hooked up to my subwoofer and I'm too lazy to take it off for photo. Headphone/iem cables will be my next targets though they look more complicated to solder? RCA connectors and cable from...

Hello, this looks like an interesting project! I'm new to diy and I just ordered the Whammy PCB. Will follow your thread with great interest! Do you think the Whammy power supply section is good enough or you think it can be further improved upon?

It's a pretty basic 6j1 tube amp available on Amazon and Aliexpress for about $40. It originally came with NE5532 and tiny caps which sounded congested and incoherent. Then I changed to OPA2604 and also changed out some of the caps to improve the bass and soundstage (put them under the board as...

Nevermind I returned both the Muses01 and Muses03. The packaging doesn't instill any confidence that they're genuine JRC products. Besides I also got a Sparkos SS3602 op amp and it's been working beautifully in my cheapo chi fi amp!

Treble sparkle and soundstage depth are the only things I miss from my E5K!

So I'm completely new to op amp rolling. I just got two Muses op amps from Amazon two days ago and I'm thinking they might be fake? I only listened to the Muses01 op amp since yesterday and it isn't that great comparing to what I currently have (OPA2604AP) in my chi-fi 6j1 tube headphone amp...
