    Plugging sensitive gear into more powerful amps - how easy/hard is it to ensure you don't overdrive them and damage them?

    So I've been going back and forth for a couple of weeks now on what amp to get for my new headphones, and I eventually settled on one of my earlier choices, the iFi Zen Air Can, simply because it was the 2nd most powerful option I could find within my budget, and the xBass and xSpace features...

    Ideal portable amp for T50RP 50th Anniversary edition?

    So I recently got my hands on a T50RP 50th Anniversary edition. To my surprise after hearing how power hungry the T50RP could be, it actually gets plenty loud on my UMC1820 audio interface, and even to a decent enough volume on my iPad Air 3 - but sometimes I want to be able to listen from my...

    Post one pair of headphones you own, and one song you think everyone that owns that pair should listen to

    I recently started making dedicated playlists for each of my headphones, because there are just some songs that have that particular wow factor on a specific given pair. Which gave me a fun idea for a thread: Pick one pair of your headphones, and post a song that you think anyone else here who...

    Where should a clumsy useless fool like myself get started with DIY? 😂

    I have basically zero DIY experience since back when I was maybe 9-10 years old (I'm 31 now for context) and did a tiny bit at school. Know nothing about electric circuits, and am clumsy and imprecise as hell so even simple soldering is a challenge. But I'd like to change that, and build my own...

    Post your EQ presets you've made here

    So while I mostly listening to all of my headphones without EQ, I started playing around with it a little while back. Mostly to try to discover what sound signatures I like, via using measurements of two headphones to EQ one roughly to the FR of the other. More recently though I started...

    Dioko vs HE400SE, Timeless vs Sundara - Planar IEM vs full-size over-ears - which wins for technical performance (detail retrieval) at a similar price?

    As the title suggests, I only have the one pair of IEMs ($15 Tanchjim Zero) and so I don't really know what to expect when it comes to say $100 IEMs vs $100 over-ears, or $200 IEMs vs $200 over-ears, particularly when it comes to planars. Don't really care about tuning - if it's not to my taste...

    Trying to find the best super budget IEM(s) to complement my collection (Maybe something neutral/mid-focused?)

    So I've been tempted to dip my toes into IEMs, as I don't own any (not counting some generic no-name brand that may have come with my phone from 5+ years ago and sound awful). Like many here, I'm the type of person who enjoys switching between headphones for different music or situations. So...

    What did I just hear - did I damage my headphones?

    So I've been sitting here listening to my K702 for an hour or two. I noticed that they seem to sound a little bassier to me today, perhaps the positioning, or maybe it's just one of those things since I occasionally have days where I'm more or less sensitive to certain frequencies. Anyway I was...
