    Fred_fred's 12AU7 Starving Student PCB, Need Parts List

    So I purchased a starving student PCB a long time ago from the member Fred_fred2004 and unfortunately I do not have enough free time or knowledge to go through the 400+ page original thread of this headphone amplifier. Can somebody with experience building one using this PCB tell me exactly...

    S.M.S.L, what can you tell me about them?

    I've been looking around for quite some time for an audio solution for my desktop (Amp+Dac) that won't leave my wallet empty again but will provide much superior audio. I've been looking around and a Chinese company named S.M.S.L caught my attention. Their audio products seemed to be exactly...

    I need some "solid" headphones

    I'm looking to buy my first serious pair of headphones. What I meant by solid is just in general a solid pair of headphones. With all of the new headphones unveiled at CESI'm wondering if there's something new that fits my needs.     Budget: $100-$175. I can go all the way to $200 but...

    How is the performance of the ASUS Xonar DG?

    A lot of people are saying that the Xonar DS is a large step forward compared to the DG but all I see is just 192khz/24bit improvement over the 96khz/24bit lossless sound processing. Does anybody know if there is really much of an audible difference?   Also, how well does the DG stand up to...

    AMP or DAP?

    For my daily commutes, I use a 64Gb 1st Generation iPad or a clip+ with my AKG K 518 LE or Etymotic HF3 headphones. The iPad is too big for me and the clip+ is just too small for me (Battery life is a little short, GUI is too small, just the size of the DAP makes it un-ideal for me). Both...

    Customs for bass heavy music

    Does anybody know any good custom headphones that are aimed towards good high quality bass? I'm not looking for perfect sound replication that is needed for studio use but to enjoy my favorite dubstep and progressive house tracks. Why customs? I always wanted a pair of custom headphones for...

    SO I found my pair of SE115 headphones and I sent a nice message to Shure saying that my tips ripped. Long story short, they're gonna send me a fit kit. Did any of you guys get this kit and if so what does it include?

    Budget headphones with the best build quality?

    So I'm looking to take my modded drivers out of my Senn's and put them in a pair of headphones that are built better and look better. My max budget is $80, preferably less. I thought about snatching  pair of V-Moda Crossfade LP's (Older brother to the M-80's) for $70 but that moment has yet to...

    It's been many months and I still can't decide on a pair, help?

    So it's been many months since I returned my Sony MDR-7506 headphone since they sounded very flat and I still can't decide on a good pair of headphones.   I have decided to lower my budget since I'm short on money but I still want to make a worthy investment. My budget is now around $50. I...

    Teach me how to Hear!

    Okay here's the story:    About a year ago my mother had a contractor remodel her basement (it previously had a concrete floor, walls, and exposed fiberglass). One day I walked in and saw these bullet-like capsules on the ground. It turns out that they were black powder filled cartridges used...

    Looking for closed cans that offer "fun" sound

    Hey guys,      I already created a thread before saying that I purchased the MDR7506 headphones from Sony and returned them a week later. The reason was the audio felt dead. There was very little bass, the sound stage was horrible, and the highs felt sharp. All of this made my ears fatigue...

    Just bought my MDR-7506 headphones a week ago and dislike them, any suggestions?

    I just purchased my Sony MDR-7506 headphones. The first impression I got from them was terrible. While the audio reproduction was accurate, the headphones felt laid back. The sound was too bright and the bass was very weak. Also, the sound stage is terrible, the audio feel very crammed.   My...

    I don't need capacity, I don't need a pretty screen, I just need Audio Quality!

      Hello Head-Fi,    I have owned many MP3 players before. I've owned iPod's, Creative Zen's, and many other players that never really gave me audio quality but a pretty screen and capacity I will never fill up (at least not without any lossless support). I have just purchased a pair of Sony...
