SR60-Mod part II
Pads have been completed, took off about 1/3rd of the height, hollowed out inside by making cube incisions then pinching out foam with fingers. Foam walls were about 3/4th's of an inch thick. Sealed the outside with pvc pipe glue which I had from a previous project. Left it outdoors while the...- MPBateman

SR60-Mod part II
If anyone is still interested in this let me know, but rough pad is on the left. Somewhat final on the right. Yah I used high grit sandpaper. Don't even think about this if you aren't patient. Tapered drop at about 87 degrees. Also. Didn't mean to make a face with that. Now I need to find a way...- MPBateman

Took me roughly 30 minutes to pop these out with a rounded utility blade. I'll try and see where this goes.- MPBateman

The GRADO SR-60 Impressions Thread
Went on amazon to check the grado sr60i and for some reason the price has jumped on them up to $179.96. What? Being sold by a company called Battle Distribution, anyone know a reason for this?- MPBateman

Well thank you very much Sir. Is there any new information on the release date of the ODA? Getting antsy and might just have to start building an O2 soon.- MPBateman

As far as SS goes I think I have settled on an O2 DIY build with a custom enclosure, should pair well with all my In-ears. Heres a link to another members review on the Hifiman EF2A if anyone lurking is interested...- MPBateman

Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier
I can tell you put quite a bit of time into that post, which I appreciate. Also informative. DAC I currently have has an output power of 150mW so 0.15W so 0.15V (as you can see I need an amp), how would the Magni handle that? Or does the output of one unit affect the other?- MPBateman

I actually had the opportunity to try the EF2A out recently, I enjoyed the sound but the price seemed a bit high, If it was just the amp and cheaper I would have considered it, but I already have a DAC so I didn't want to spend more for something I don't need. But if anyone needs a DAC/Amp...- MPBateman

Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier
I do have a DAC with 24bit sample rate, ATH AD700, Grado SR60i, Beyerdynamic DT770 250 Pro, Shure SE215, Etymotic HF5, and Klipsch S2. So half full size half IEM, however I only have one pair of High impedance cans would the gain of 5 work for me? Most likely not, but if I got 2 more high...- MPBateman

I don't mind the change in sound a tube would offer as long as I can use a tube amp for all genres. I really just need an amp to power my higher impedance cans efficiently while also being able to make my IEM's shine.- MPBateman

Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier
Who better to comment, eh? Alright so Multi driver BA IEMs might not be the best pair with the little Magni, but the fact it's also able to drive orthos is an understandable tradeoff especially at that price. I'm sure multiple head-fiers have chipped in their idea of an alternately tuned Magni...- MPBateman

Update: Recieved a pair of Grado Sr60i, thoroughly enjoy them. Most balanced headphones i have atm. Now looking into headphone amps, both tubes and solid state. The amp part might be the hardest part as it's quite difficult to get a non-biased review on amplifiers for some reason, as well as...- MPBateman

Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier
Don't mean to be "that" guy but if the Schiit FAQ of the Magni says IEMs are no problem, but owners are saying no way, should I not second guess all of their claims then? I truly want to like these but marketing can do wonders for a sub-par product...look at Head-fi's bane, Beats. If it's a...- MPBateman
