I have been told that the schiit lokius EQ can mess with (or be messed with by?) nearby transformers. Any of us have firsthand experience with how close is too close? also does direction matter or only distance/proximity?

It looks unpossible to delete a msg from the forum, at least as a regular user. right? is it possible to undo a "like"?

OK so first off I probably have too many headphones. I got my standard home-alone, super-lovely open dynamic in a Clear MG. I use Elegia for travel because they are semi-similar while being closed. I got DT880 and HD650 as reference. I have a few MDR-V6 copies for utility, like zoom meetings...

Anyone use the bellari small EQs? Specifically with headphone amps? There is such little competition for the schiit loki mini!

Given equal FR charts for two amps, given same speakers/headphones, if I am running one at 50% power and one at 100% for the same SPL, what is the difference? It seems like we all have a preference for "headroom" on power but I am trying to figure out why. Is it the concept/idea, or are there...

I am interested in doing (or even having someone else do) detachable cable mods, both for my Grado SR80x and Beyer DT880 Pro. Being a Focal owner I love the idea of 3.5mm jacks at the ear, but would that be too big? Seems like others do 2.5mm at least for Grado. Thoughts? Any recommendations...

I see Focal Bathys has 3 noise cancel modes, something like "transparent", "light", and "full" or something. IS there a completely OFF mode? Or is "transparent" exactly that?

I tend to clean up minor spills, kid buggers, food drops etc around the house first with a splash of dish soap, then a second pass with water-only, then third with a dry cloth. Works great! I did the same with some male XLR connectors the other day. Anything to worry about with soap residue on...

I like the idea of complementary items. A smooth sedan to go with the regular family SUV. A pickup to go with a street bike. So, for headphones - I started with Beyer DT 900 prox. It seems to do most well. Nice enough to sound great, not so expensive that I worry. I wanted something warm (and...

I have read a few places that OTL amps are no good with lower impedance cans like most of the Focal line. I got a WA7 recently which I gather is NOT OTL but the googling for focal and tubes left me with an impression. So what is up with OTL in this regard? Why does it happen, how does it sound...

Why the F is every "cd transport" so absurdly expensive? There is not even a DAC inside, right? I bought (yamaha? panasonic?) cd carousel in 2001 for like $120 that has optical out, that does the same thing, right? Heck it even has an internal DAC if you want to slum it like I did in those...

Been happy with a magni/modi, first real foray into dedicated audio gear. Bought an Audioengine D1 for comparison but hardly used it, should find some time for real testing. Looking at Topping, seems like the MX3s is being pushed fairly hard in forum ads. What else goes into this category? Is...

Had HDR-V6 for literal decades, and was happy with. Got Beyerdynamic DT 900 Prox a few months back, and wow I guess headphones do get nicer than $50 Sonys! Curious what the big-dollar players bring to the table. Focal, Hifiman, Audeze all on my radar. Heck, some of them are pieces of art...
