So I'm working on a pass through to convert from banana plug to RCA, and it's been a long time since I've done any wiring. Anyway, my brain isn't working, as it's 6 in the morning, and I was wondering if there was any problem with using an aluminum enclosure. I know that aluminum is conductive...

Okay, I got a crossfader, and there's a pinout in the center, and solder tabs at the bottom. I'd like to make a quick and dirty crossfader to feed into my amp. Can anyone tell me what gets soldered where? It's a quick project for an interview I have on monday, hence the ASAP. What goes where...

Is there a safe/effective way to remove 60 years worth of dust from an amplifier?

Looking for an amplifier, in two price ranges for speakers with these specs: Impedence: 4ohm Sensitivity: 88db+-3db Response:45hz-20000hz Crossover: 3000hz Oh, and they're 3way speakers. What amp would be good to power them from a computer, and record player, in the under $100 range...

Here it is folks!

So, THIS PICTURE just spurned me for the moment. Among the many iBud discussions, it got me thinking, do people with enough money to buy every item in the Apple store and not blink and eye bother to use good headphones? I've seen them in the past, but I can't find any at the moment, and...

Okay, so I've got a few portable headphone amps, Go-Vibe V6m, and C&C Box V2, I've got some headphones that I like, and quite a few sources, although my primary listening will be digital. Where to go with headphones? I've got the Panasonics that I absolutely love the sound, Sennheiser HD-555...

I joined Head-Fi less than two months ago, and am already making my 500th post! I'd like to thank anyone that's helped me out so far, with opinions and advice, and hope that I will be able to contribute more to the site as I learn more about being an audiophile, and hone my listening skills...

Ultra Smooth Upgradeable High-Fidelity Headphone Amp Anyone care to comment? Is this just a CMOY with caps? Is this anyone here on Head-Fi making these?

Subtitle: Buy a Pink Zune for Breast Cancer Awareness Probably not the proper title for the thread, but it'll get more people to check out it than if I had just made it the subtitle. PURCHASE A LIMITED EDITION PINK ZUNE FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS And, unlike Product[RED] which only...

So there have been quite a few people complaining about the Zune, especially those who just joined the social. For those of you wondering, there is a load of different hacks that can be done, and thanks to one of your fellow Zunesters, it's all in one complete package and will solve just about...

Who comes in out front? I may buy an Alien DAC, but I have an old Soundblaster Live! 5.1 sitting next to me that I've never used. Which has better SQ?

So I was sitting on the toilet last night, where all great thinkers sit, and had an idea for a LOD for the Zune. It's not a perfect solution, but would at least provide a line out for those who have been dying for one. When I say it's not a perfect solution, it's really not, but it should, in...

On the threads recently, a member mentioned that his Zune played without a gap inbetween songs, or, gapless, as you all know. Yesterday, I got my new (refurbished) black Zune in the mail. I immediately filled it, which, at 30gb, takes a bit of time. I didn't get a chance to use it until last...

I'm borrowing the tittle from them, as some of it isn't so much outrageous, as it is just flat out expensive. I'm sure some audiophiles here can justify the price. But it's a good gathering of equipment anyway. CLICK HERE

Can someone please tell me when and why airplane adapters have 2 plugs. I mean, I understand the why, but why the hell did they do that in the first place? Who developed it? Why 2 mono plugs, as opposed to a stereo mini? It's been driving me nuts as I stare at my 5 airplane adapters that i have...

I've read good things about these headphones, albeit it only one of them from someone that actually knew anything about audio. I like that most of the reviewers complained because it doesn't have good isolation, and that others around you can hear your music. Because as we all know, ear clips...

I love ebay. First my Sennheiser HD555, now these. About a week ago, I took a chance on a pair of headphones. I was surfing around ebay, and came across a set of headphones, made by amp'd mobile. For those of you across the pond, amp'd was a prepaid company that targeted a young demographic...

If someone is living in the UK, and doesn't mind taking a trip to their nearest HMV, please send me a PM, I need help acquiring something available only there.

PRESS RELEASE: Canal type headphones are the best solution when it comes to getting great sound in the most compact package, and today Pioneer just announced 2 new canal type headphones: the SE-CLX9 and 7, which are both using the same technology, and which produce 105dB with a maximum output...

Sorry about starting another thread Mods, but I figure the iAnything has about a million threads, and this is top of the thread news. That being said, the first photos of the Zune 2 are out!!! And it looks like we may have a different interface.

If the post yesterday for the custom iBud IEM's wasn't enough, here's another knee slapping product to give you a good laugh. This one if for that pair of earbuds that you just can't seem to let go. For the user that loves earbuds, but hates to put them in their ears. LOBIES! NOW...

Anyone ever heard of Luxus headphones? There's a pair at the antique store for $50. They look glorious. Have their own case. Will test them monday.

I've got a Heathkit AC-11 laying around. It came connected to my HF-81. I'm not entirely sure what it's for. It has a knob on the front that says Channel Separation. It lights up, and is in great shape. No rust, looks as good as the day it was assembled. Anyway, I assume that it is used to take...

I just picked them up for $19.40, shipped, like new. No wear, no tear, no scratches that I can see. The seller has a bunch of random electronic items, based in the US, all appear to be gingerly used. The seller just had them labeled as Sennheiser. After a bit of photo comparison, I figured...
