Audio Consultants hosted a headphone event in the Evanston store on October 27, 2018. I was able to attend and thought I would share my experience. I have only been to a few headphone events, and this experience was different. The in-store event was more personal and a lot quieter. It was...

I am in the process of re-cabling my headphones for a balanced amp and I am thinking about building an adaptor into the cable so I can do balanced or singled ended.  I would need some sort of inline connector sets to create short adaptors.  I was wondering if anyone has developed a "standard"...

I am Amped! The mechanical build quality is very nice. The jacks and switches appear to be very good quality. The case is very sturdy and the battery cover is a nice touch. The documentation is simple and complete. Nice touch with the cables and the "feet". This is exactly what I expected...

I just picked up some new cans for my office rig in development. I had not seen these before DT 770 PRO/80 the cans are 80 Ohms. Has anyone else seen/heard these? The headband has a little 2 x 80 Ohm on them. Burning in now. I know I should not listen but they interesting. A little strong in...

It was a great 2005 for me and it looks like I am getting a bonus! Before we spend the rest on our house I want to build my headphone systems. My music is mostly FLAC/Apple Lossless and some 320VBR. I listen to just about everything. Bach to Led Zepplin. I am looking to expand the soundstage...

My main computer at home is a MAC g5 that has digital out. I was wondering if anyone else is using a G5 as a source? Also are you using a DAC? I have been looking at the Grace 901, but I am very tempted to get a PPA with a DAC built or build one myself. I am going to purchase a new set of...

Actually it is my work laptop, but it goes a lot of place I do and I want my tunes on it. The hiss out of the machines headphone jack is horrid. I cannot change the hardware, but I could add a USB sound card or something. I am using foobarr2000 to play if that matters. Just some Sony canal...

I am in the process of deciding in where to go with my portable audio. I originally bought a 2nd gen 20gb ipod and I am reasonablly happy with it. BUT... I have been rediscovering my CD collection and the sound from my portable rig is somewhat less than I would like. So I am re-ripping my CD...
