Westone UM3X in ear monitors. Have had these for a long time but haven't used them for years. Still work great and in great condition. Comes with the case, cleaning tool, and a few non-Westone eartips. This is the original model. The cables are not removable. Located in and will ship from...

Hello all,   Not sure if Head-fi is the right place to ask this but I know there are some pretty intelligent people here so I'll see if I can pick some brains here.   I have an 13 year old Honda Accord with the stock radio and decided to try adding a line-in to it. I took apart the stereo...

Thanks for the offer, but I checked closely and a couple of the pads were also knocked off the PCB. It's going to be a much tougher job. It might be better to start over from scratch. I did order an extra kit, because I was expecting myself to make mistakes my first time soldering surface mounts.

I tried re-flowing the chip and it didn't work. Thought maybe there wasn't enough solder so I tried re-flowing a second time. Stupid mistake. Ended up bridging a few pins and couldn't clean it up. Used solder wick and after an hour struggling with it burned the PCB and destroyed the pins. Don't...

Hi all,   I'm having trouble with getting my GrubDAC working. It's recognized by my computer and the test points are good. There doesn't appear to be any bridges between pins. I'm not getting sound though.   I've tested for bridges at all the pins, I've tested continuity between the Wolfson...

Quote: Yeah, I agree.  I would not get these at MSRP, maybe only for less than $200.   I don't have the headphones with me anymore, but from what I remember, it is definitely a slower sound, but it kept up well when I listened to some fast drums.  I wouldn't say it has weaknesses in...

Hi head-fiers, I have a pair of custom silicon eartips that I have used for about 4 months now.  The problem is, they are very loose when on the tube of the UM3x's now.  I can't even take the earpieces out of my ear with the tips still attached.  They were fine when I got the eartips...

Sorry for the delay in a reply, but in case you were still interested, I gave them a listen and comparison to my other closed cans, the Ultrasone HFI-780s.   The PS500 are definitely much more laid back.  There is more emphasis on the low end, with the bass much louder than on my HF-780s. ...

Hi all,   My current setup is using the Maverick D1 as a DAC and pre-amp out to my Little Dot I+.  With the D1, I want to use the switch to bypass the potentiometer, but when I do that, the LD potentiometer needs to be set very low.  The problem is that when the LD volume is set so low, the...

Ah, sorry, I didn't think there was much interest in these headphones, so I never really got around to reviewing them.  I've since loaned them to my brother so I don't have them right now.  I will have them again in two weeks though.  I'll post a bit more about them at that time.   I was...

I have both the Maverick and the LD1+. I haven't heard the uDac though. For my Grados, I use the Maverick as a DAC/pre-amp for the LD1+. For my higher impedance DT880s, I prefer to use the Maverick as both a DAC/amp combo. Since you're using the MS1, they should be similar to my Grado HF-2s...

I haven't heard the HD595, but did used to own the HD555. I guess they are similar in some ways, but I still think the PS500 midrange is more recessed. An amp definitely brought it out a bit though. What are the major differences you noticed between the D2000 and the PS500?

I just bought a pair of Phiaton PS500's from a fellow head-fier. They are still relatively unknown and haven't gotten much attention here on Head-fi, but I thought they would be interesting to give a try and I liked the design as well. While listening to them for the past couple of days, one...

I remember watching that on TV with my brother. All I did was yell out the model of every headphone I saw on there. I thought it was cool to know all/most of them instead of seeing the typical Bose and Monster headphones. I now realize how I made myself look like such a loser. It is a good...

So this worked before and suddenly stopped working? What OS are you using? It might be drivers issue that happened when installing or uninstalling software on your computer. I'm not familiar with any firewalls or security software that disables USB ports or why they might do that, but...

I often use my netbook as my audio source as well. It's an Acer model but has similar specs to yours, but I think the processor might be a bit older. I have Windows 7 on it and for the most part it works great. I've actually never used iTunes before so I'm not sure how resource intensive it...

Thanks for the comments. I did get a few tubes to roll with. Currently switching around the Sylvania 6SN7WGT and Ken-Rad JAN VT-231 on the front and the Bendix 6080WB at the rear. I'll probably stick with the D3 for a while. But the HeadRoom Micro Dac does look appealing. I haven't heard...

Thanks for the suggestion. I have looked at the Little Dot DAC, but it is a bit more than I was hoping to spend at the moment. Does anyone have any experience with the Ibasso D3 as a DAC for dedicated amps?

So I just bought a Darkvoice 336SE from another head-fier here and I'm waiting for it to arrive next week. I'm now wondering if my setup will be able to really power the amp to its potential. My sources will be my laptop and sometimes my netbook. I will be connecting an Ibasso D3 Python to...

Can someone in the US buy a bunch and sell them here in the FS forums? I know it's been requested already, but nobody has really responded. I'm sure they would sell fairly quickly since it's an amazing price and there are tons of international Head-fiers here that are missing out on the Amazon...

I think the Ultrasones HFI-780 are quite forward sounding. They sound quite similar to open headphones, compared to other closed headphones that I have tried. The bass is definitely more closed sounding, but I find the mids and highs to be very upfront. I enjoy my Grado's and think the...

Looks like #463 is on eBay now, and from the sounds of the description, the owner owns another pair too. NEW Grado HF2 HF-2 Headphones BNIB rare RS-1i, SR-325 on eBay.ca (item 150386637549 end time 15-Nov-09 23:45:42 EST) Nearly 8 days left, as of this post, and it's already at over $536...

Received number 239 today. Paid $66 in taxes so in total, with flats, price came to $575 Cdn. Ordered May 31, for those Canadians waiting for theirs. They're on my head right now, and sound a little wild, much bassier than my SR225s. They definitely need some burn in.
