Great thanks osidyen

is it worth selling my explorer 1 on ebay to upgrade to this? would it be worth the bother?

Just picked up a Explorer today from local hifi store. Great sounding unit. While in the store I tested it coupled with the Musical fidelity M1 HPA and boy did THAT make a great combo. Sounded fantastic with my hd650's. Then I tried with their HD800s.... wow. Although IMO the 800's are so...

Quote: Actually thats similar to the original cable i was going to use but i started to go down the mogami Neglex W2534 route, because people say its easier to work with as it uses nylon insulation instead of cotton (canare uses cotton) but the thing is... its nearly 2x the price! Canare...

ok I've decided to go with this cable (mogami Neglex W2534): http://www.proaudiola.com/product-p/1-m2534-trs-trs-1.htm   I can get 30feet of the cable with a neutrik gold 1/4" connector on each end for ~$60US which i think is pretty good. I'd then just cut off one neutrik connector, and...

Quote:   great advice thank you. I've had a look though it doesn't seem they have the 'C' variation, I've emailed to find out.   As an alternative I could use something like :   Neotech Wire UPOCC Solid Core 7N Silver 24AWG Teflon...

Hi Guys   I just fiinished making a interconnect for my DAC to fiio e09k headphone amp. I used CAT5 which i pulled apart to 4 way braid for 3.5mm jack to RCA. It turned out well and sounds great. But now i'll try making a HD650 replacement cable   I'm considering canare L4e6s "bulk"...

Quote:   Yeah i agree with ev13wt. You should consider the hd-25. They're truly a fantastic sounding headphone. I often go back to them I've owned mine for years and they are still going strong apart from replacing the pads with the blue adidas style pads. They are a classic headphone  ...

yay I just got a preowned fiio e09k to use with my 650's and man, i'm a happy boy. Sounds fantastic and for < $100 it keeps the wife AND mortgage happy :) such a great bang for buck imo. If your thinking of a good priced amp very well suited for the 650's then e09k is a worthy one to check into...

Hi Guys i just bought a Fiio e09k to go with my HD650's but i don't have a plugin e07k or e17 etc. Is it only possible to use the DAC when either of these are plugged in? I have a iBasso DAC i could use but that requires me buying a decent 3.5mm headphone jack to RCA interconnect to connect via...

Yeah they're a great pair of headphones. I mainly listen to music while working, I have a couple other "better" sounding pairs of headphones but often come back to the hd25's because they just keep going, their confortable and i love the isolation of sound. I've owned mine for years and they are...

cool :D

nice paint :) You could also get blue pads (same colour as the adidas branded hd25's) might be a bit too much blue though!  

Yeah unfortunately its just a portable headphone amp so only has headphone jack input and output (+ usb input)

Ok I have opened the case - It only has marking of A50K. It has 6 pins so obviously a stereo pot. From what i researched it would be a Audio 50K Pot so is "long" which is a Audio taper pot?   It looks like it would be quite easy to remove but finding a replacement is the hard part. Also, it...

Cheers guys I'll try that trick with turning the volume to full but I think its the pot going. I might actually try cleaning it with some contact cleaner first. If fails then I'll have to try replacing it. I'll pull it apart tomorrow and see if I can see the brand. If not ill email ibasso and...

i have the se530's and when listening via itunes or ipod/iphone make sure to select "electronic" setting. It boosts the bass and high and vastly improves the sound of mine. I'm sure the se535's are similar sounding

Hi All, I've owned a iBasso D2 viper (with replaced opamp chip) for quite some time now. Since using it when connected to my Mac via USB it slowly developed a loud cracking/scratching sound when I change volume. It also continues to crackle lightly in the background. If i very gently adjust the...

very, very old reply. Guess i lost track of this post. but when searching again through the forum for a fix i came across my old post which i'd forgotten about haha.   anyway, cheers for the reply i might contact Shure / JANDS about this ... obviously been a while since i bought now but i'd...
