I'm planning to try balancing the replacement HD650 cable, to try the balanced out on my emu 0404. (Basically 2 TRS > 650 plugs) Before I go ahead and solder my wires incorrectly, could someone kindly check over my plan to make sure I don't make a fool of myself. I've read this thread for...

I suppose the best thing now is to provide paypal with all the evidence that supports your claim, since it's more/less established that your seller is trying to screw you over. Make sure you have the delivery confirmation of the returned item, as the seller can claim they didn't receive it...

Thanks for the link It seems from the diagram, the thin pin corresponds to the +ve, and the fat pin to the -ve Which seems to match the unbalanced setup where fat = ground. Thanks again for your help.

Just like to ask a question: Which pin is + ? The fat one or the thin one? Since I searched all over and couldn't find the answer. Thanks

Since I'm search-challenged (spent 2+ hours without results), I'll ask this question in this relatively related thread. Can anyone tell me the +/- polarity of the HD600 headphone connector (i.e. Is the 'fat' plug the hot pin? Or is it the inverse?) Also, if someone would teach me...

What headphones are you planning to get? Depending on your headphone, you might need a headphone amp. (Though you'll want one eventually) If that's the case, you might want to concentrate on your amp, and get a budget USB DAC/transport. Alternatively, you could get an all-in-one, which...

You could try the stores listed in this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/lis...r-help-267968/ They might not have the audiophile cables that you're looking for, but to most of the stores do carry the basic materials to make your first few sets of cables. If you feel that your EQ...

Nice build. Any plans to upgrade the controller? Maybe? A: Set amplification/gain B: Bass boost Select: Select source Start: Demo mode Up/down: Increase / Decrease crossfeed Left/Right: Balance

Haven't done the item specific repair before, I'm guessing that the procedure shouldn't be all that different from connecting a wire while making an interconnect. The thread is here: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f6/how...ep-pics-50729/ Before you attach the plug, you might want to make...

I blew up my Creative X-mod the other day while building my first cMoy Accidently let the audio signal touch the V+, the next thing I saw was "USB device not recognized" On a side note, I also trashed my Belkin Tunebase while trying to add an antenna to the unit. Accidently let the...

Alternatively, you can use a sound generator such as NCH, and check the crossfeed using a set frequency. If everything is working properly, the crossfeed should be present at low frequencies, and slightly attenuate at you increase the 'pitch'. In case you need to download a tone generator...

^ Second the remove the enclosure solution I've had that happen more than once, and it's become my source of internal hard-drives. (If it's the enclosure, the computer will sometimes give the 'USB device not recognized' error) *** If there are any signs of burns on the actual...

Try this link from apuresound: APureSound - Where The Music Is Always Pure It goes through removing the foam pad in front of the driver, as well as the foam at the back. Keep in mind, the foam removal at the back is semi-permanent, and it is very hard to put the foam back in once...

Does anyone know what features the most current PA2V2's have right now? The site doesn't seem updated, and yet I hear that there were 'several improvements'.. Does it justify the eBay prices of $60-100? Or should I just go for a caffeine ultra / lyrix / something else? (I'm probably just...

At least you guys can get your order processed... I can't even get my order processed because I live up north (Oh well... I suppose it'll give me time to try an amp first before deciding whether I want to get a dedicated DAC.. in case I am deaf)

<deleted>

It seems the site has taken down the item for the time being (due to back order?) Last time it said back-ordered until Feb 22, now it's the 29th... hopefully the deal is still around. (Being in Canada sucks for purchasing online )

Thanks for the advice, I'm one step closer to clicking the checkout button now Just a few quick noobish questions: Regarding the TRS balanced, so basically even if I got 2 balanced cables leading to each driver, there wouldn't be enough power ( current or voltage or both?) to power the...

For those that were wondering about the coupons, it seems that musicians friend is having an instant rebate program as listed in the URL: Musician's Friend - instantrebates - 021208 So if anyone is able to arrange a group buy, the savings can be increased. 1 EMU = $10 off 2 EMU = $35...

Apologies if this is a threadjack, but I also have a question about whether I absolutely NEED an amp. Currently I'm using an HD580 on my laptop, using the Creative xmod as a DAC (OMG, the horrors... Or so some would say...) I know for a fact that I can turn the volume up to the point...
