As the title, They have an amp kit that I cannot find anywhere else, but all e-mails to the contact address go unanswered and I can't find any feedback on ths shop on the web. Some of the kit descriptions seem a bit cut and paste too. Could be a spoof site for all I know. Not sure if I can...

I thought I’d post some information on ear pad options for the venerable DT770 Pro, and it’s HiFi cousin – the DT770. If you know where to look on the Beyer website, or if you live on HeadFi, then the answers are simple, but if like me you just wanted some good closed back headphones with great...

The owner \ manager of 'familygate' has replied to my question, and for the benefit of anyone else reading this, his linear apls pots listed as 10KBx2 do not have an indent at 150deg. He does sell linear pots with an indent at 150deg, but for simplicity, uses the pdf for these pots to show...

Hi, The pdf on the guys webpage is: avpg2.homepage.t-online.de/PDF/RK27112_LIN_LINCC.PDF On the second page of the pdf, it lists the detent position as 150 deg +- 3 deg. I've tried log before, and I always end up using the second half of the rotation span because the first half is...

Hi, I'm building another headphone amp, and am looking for a linear alps 10k stereo pot. Farnell and RS (in the UK) only seem to sell the LOG pots. HiFi collective only does the LOG pots too. I've found a guy on ebay (familygate) who is selling linear RK27112's but the pdf spec sheet...

JaZZ: Perhaps it's a combination of both, mp3 decoding and the digital transport. I was initially sceptical about problems coming from the decoding because there is very little artistic leway in decompressing mp3's. The same is not true of encoding mp3's and many vendors compete in this arena...

Pars: Thanks for the article. It looks like most DACs use the clock info from the SPDIF signal, which in turn comes from the transport. This confirms why the audio sounds different. There are some interesting solutions to this problem, namely clock injection from the DAC to the transport, but...

Hi, Not sure if this is the right sub-forum, but it is to do with source components. I have a large music collection, and all my CD's were becoming a hassle to manage. I thought I might get around this by ripping the whole lot to HD and use a media player with digital out to play my...

>So you're boosting the low end content by 10 db on already bass-heavy >and near-clipping music? Yes. but this does not cause a problem for the Rotel or mini HiFi system (preamp in from external source). >Does the distortion happen when you -don't- boost the low end? Yes, at higher...

I should be able to sell it for what I paid (£110). Not the end of the world. I'll audition before I buy next time. I should have auditioned the OBH-21 and did ask my local Creek dealers, but none had them in for demo (makes sense now). Thanks.

KoRn, I also demo'd drum & bass (various) & dance music (various). I tried both headphones in both jacks with no noticeable difference, and then both inserted at the same time, same with regard to distortion. I didn't get the manual with the amp so I don't know what does which, although I am...

Fair enough. I tried turning the input level down, it doesn't really change the distortion because it just happens further round the dial, at the same volume level. If it can't drive the DT880's to a loud level then there's a design problem (these aren’t cheap, and the Sony's are standard...

Hi, Bought a Creek OBH-21 standard version to run with some headphones. I've tried this amp with the following: Sony MDRV150 Beyer DT880 And after about the 2 o'clock position on the volume control the audio starts to clip. I should note that I'm lifting the bass on the program...

Hi, New to the forum, and looking to purchase a good headphone amp and some matching headphones. I'm using the headphones output on my Rotel RA02 integrated amp at the moment with Sony MDR-V150 Headphones. The headphones aren’t that expensive, but I like the sound they give & they way they...
