Nice Baines93. I'm thinking about an RSA amp or corda meier. My bday is coming up so hopefully I'll get some holiday/bday $ to improve my rig.

 

[Baines93]

Mine is too, along with Xmas, and there isnt much i want, a few bike bits from mum, maybe a second hand phone from dad... I just cant justify spending money on stuff, especially when to my ears my rig seems pretty good with my music files.

I think a compromise for my rig would be a Boa...

Just cant justify that either when I need to be saving all my money for a car.

how about a diy amp baines? my mind was set on the heron but my wallet did'nt agree with me, i'm goingto build a mini³ now

 

[Baines93]

I was thinking about making an Alien DAC with built in amp of some sort, in the same enclosure... Wish i could make a lovely metal one though.

The only advice I can give is to keep your eyes open. The pig is actually meant to hold a shopping bag and I found it at a bookstore on clearance for 210 yen; only after I got it home did I realize it would be a nice fit for my portable stuff. Camera bags and makeup puches are probably a good place to start, but you never know where you'll find the perfect fit.

Get some cheaper speaker cable to try making your first headphone cable. Practice helps!

That was pretty much my plan, although I already have plenty of wire and tons of experience making interconnects, I have none working with headphone cables.

Also, what did you use to paint your Grado's? That would be of great interest if I decide to give painting them a try.

MORE BASS! WOOT!

 

[HulkSmashNow]

I thought the KSC75s with volume control weren't very good. Is this not the case?

All the best.

idk, they sound fine to me, and that's what they had.

am I hopeless yet? I think it is also important to add that my ipod is rockboxed and the background color is white with pink font

also for the record I know that I used a ton of heat shrink on the plug end but I kind of melted some of the pink techflex tubing with my heat shrink gun while I was doing it so I had to make it longer

 

[Baba booey]

dang those K701's look nice. and they're probably very comfortable

Okay, cool. Now, I wish I had got them at my local RadioShack, when they were twelve bucks!
