    EX300/EX500 - anyone mod these yet?

    like the ex90s? I did a wax filter mod on my NC33 which really worked quite well... they seem very simular to the EX300 w/ the same driver size, accessories and casings, but has different resolution rations... Same w/ the EX500 my friend has, which so incidentially I really enjoyed, but didn't...

    Which sony's share the same 13.5mm drivers?

    I have a pair of MDR-NC33's but have read that it could possibly be the same as the NC22s, 85 & 90s just w/ different porting/tuning that gives the slight differences in frequency ranges. Just as an FYI, I removed the WAX filter on my NC33s (which I was going to give away), and they have...

    MAC (My Audio Cables) impressions?

    I've been using a DECware/MAC Silver IC and it's been just fantastic. Incredibly detailed and has full extentions. Contacted MAC and he had recommended I try the palladium or the Mystic (new) cable he has and I am just posting to see if anyone has tried them. He is incredibly flexible with...

    My theory on Cables

    Cables should deliver electrical current as "transparently" as possible. The least a cable has an affect on the signal, is ideally the best cable Factors include mostly design, materials, gauge, shielding and termination. A proper cable should not have any affect the signal that is...

    Outlaw PCA IC's are they my weakest link?

    I've been looking at many other setups as of late, and the hype over the Outlaw PCA seems to be over. However in my case, I upgraded for cheaper from the Kimber PJB line to the Outlaws and haven't looked back. In fact if possibly over the last few years, everything but the Outlaws have came...

    Issues with Jolida JD100
