audioengine D1 USB DAC misses first couple of Win7 test tones
Someday I'll be forced to move off Windows 7 but ..... (until then) I've got a peculiarity that's bothering me ... (background) I've been using an audioengine D1 USB for audio off my PC (an old HP z600) for several years and it works fine (once I ran the USB cable to a powered hub before...- Paul WB5AGF

Headphone Driver (speaker) Covers - How To Minimize Acoustic Diffraction ?
Starting last (2022) summer I began watching eBay for used Sony headphones in the 'MDR' family. I've had an MDR-V6 and MDR-7506 for years (most people consider them almost identical except for the 7506 being slightly 'brighter') and wanted to see how some of the other Sony headphones (in...- Paul WB5AGF

Solderable 'Unimatch' Adapter Found On eBay
I recently purchased a pair of Sony MDR-1A Headphones. I was puzzled at the poorly documented cable interface. (How complicated can it be to connect to a couple of 'drivers' ?) It looks like Sony thinks that its customer base is technically incompetent and that no one listens to music off a...- Paul WB5AGF

Sony MDR-7509HD - anyone with experience flattening the freq response ?
My interest in headphones goes through periods of activity and then inactivity. Ten years ago (2012) I bought a pair of Sony MDR-7509HD Headphones and then 'put-them-away' (I don't remember why). Quite recently I pulled-them-out-of-a-box (being rather surprised as I'd forgotten them) and began...- Paul WB5AGF

40mm driver upgrade for noise isolating headphones
The headphone drivers (to retrofit into the Sony MDR-V600 Headphones) I purchased off eBay are : https://www.ebay.com/itm/252162897466?var=550999205336 I (strongly) suspect that the MDR-V600 earpiece housings are the reason for the excess bass. In reading about these Sony headphones : MDR-V6...- Paul WB5AGF

40mm driver upgrade for noise isolating headphones
Hello Steve; I'm in the midst of a somewhat similar project ... trying to get a pair of Sony MDR-V600 Headphones (which get pretty bad press) to sound half-way decent. I bought the MDR-V600s off eBay for just a few Dollars because the right driver was blown. I'd been wanting to learn...- Paul WB5AGF
