The HD600 is a fantastic headphone, but the 300 ohm rating is conservative, the bass region peaks at 511ohm so you need more power to get the full bass dynamics out of them. I've had every Sennheiser except the HE-1 Orpheus and tested them with everything from an Apple 3.5mm USB adapter to a...

Get a USB external SSD and plug into your router USB port to share on your network. Keep the hard drive offline as a backup.

There's a cure for running out of battery life, the Unihertz Tank has a 22,000ma battery in it. It's so over the top though, the Hummer of wireless phones... https://www.unihertz.com/products/tank A desktop Topping DX3 Pro+ used for $99 will let you plug the phone into it, or bluetooth as a...

Shrink tubing is best, just shield off the ear cup before applying heat. Electrical tape won't be solid enough to prevent more wear.

A Topping l30 II, A30Pro, or L50 all have a silent noise floor in the 50mv test on ASR. Ive had all of them and the L30 II stack on optical will really impress with 10ohm IEMs like the Truthear Zero Blue, amazing on those.

Got some solid bargains this time from several different places. In the eBay app, they have an offer 15 percent off their new online gift cards. Capitol One has 4 percent off eBay and 3 percent off Aliexpress. For Aliexpress, there's a 2024 calendar for the upcoming big sales (there's 4 major...

I have three pairs of HD700 and have taken them apart for headband replacement and installing easier things like the Modhouse foam kits. The best way for that kind of repair is use Loctite Gel on the head of a pin to apply a couple of dots of it. Then it has to be clamped firm for 1 hour to...

Can't go wrong with the Moondrop Kato, lot of air in the treble and just fun and versatile. The most neutral is the Moondrop Blessing 3 which is the IEM version of the Sennheiser HD600 headphones. The 7hz Timeless original version (the AE sounds dull with it's boring dynamic driver for bass) has...

Sennheiser Momentum 4 are excellent and the new version has more streamlined controls. The Bower & Wilkins PX7 Carbon edition is another good one I've had. 13 minute fast charge from empty to full is amazing on the B&W, and both have the auto on/off when you put them on or take them off.

I use a Canon imageCLASS LBP6230dw. It's a full regular laser, but it can use recycled toner cartridges and you can save a mint that way. The feeder is in the front and it prints double sided when used as a regular printer. Getting the page and half page labels is easy and cheap in bulk. Just...

I've had those and they're amazing. The output power on that interface isn't published, and with 4 outputs I'd assume it's not enough for the Arya Stealth..They need 1.8 watts into 32ohm and balanced with a 4 volt DAC helps since planars need current. Which outputs do you have available for...

I've got an AE-9 without the audio control module coming in Tuesday, can't wait. I've lined it out with RCA before to an amplifier and the 5.1 can be used when gaming with the virtualization to the line out ports. Also needed to add optical since this MB doesn't have it built it. For $90 it's...

DACs and Amplifiers try for transparency, to get warmth you have to switch IEMs. Poweramp for Android has tone controls, which might be the way to go before spending money. It's easy to adjust with the two dials, and they have a free version to see if that warms things up with what you've got. I...

Amazon Warehouse (separate search from regular Amazon) has really good markdowns on shelving and free delivery (nice, since they're heavy). For amp/dac shelves I do a search for "monitor riser" and got some great small stack-able shelves for amp/DAC combos with venting to keep amplifiers cool...

Sennheiser Momentum 3 are my favorite for movies. Well tuned and bass is just right for explosions without being too much, or artificial sounding like the Sony ones. Moondrop makes a wireless .78mm kit that clip on to make any .78mm IEM wireless, then lots of options are open. They're fast...
