Hi, New here obviously, but have been lurking for quite a while. Just had to share this and contribute to the community since all you peeps have helped me make some important audiophilicus preposteri decisions :)~ If you want to convert your headphones, or anything for that matter to balanced...

Hi, I own a Fiio X5 3rd gen. Would it make sense to connect this device to my amp using the coaxial out of the Fiio and the digital optical in on my amplifier? Would there be any gain as compared to using Line Out out of the Fiio, and analog-in on the amp? If so, what kind of cable would I...

Hello everyone :) I was looking for Custom cables, Because the stock cable of the 6XX is too short and the Y splitter isn't comfortable for me. So i looked over the internet for people who make custom cable by order, That do not will break my wallet. There are a lot of Snake-oil in this type...

I have modded SHP9500S with Mr Speaker's pads and ModHouseAudio cups. I've been using the v-moda Boom Mic which has been nice, but is already starting to wear out in some of the joints. (I use these headphones a lot every day at home and at work. I sometimes travel with them too.) I'd like to...

hi all, Long time lurker finally bit the bullet and signed up for an account. So here is my issue. While waiting for my pre-order IEMs I am trying to get my old Normal headphones back in rotation. Although the name is Normal their design was not. They have mmcx connectors but the male...

This will be an ongoing project that will be updated with new cables as and when I get them. I know a lot of people don’t believe in cable differences, but I personally believe in cables making a small difference, there are also ergonomic benefits from aftermarket cables. Cables are about...

Topic to share information about Ursine Audio cables by Jarrod Dupuis. http://ursine.audio/ This is the braided cable I ordered (204 usd). Can't wait to try it with my Audeze LCD-XC. :) 23 AWG 56 strand copper conductor with a silicone jacket cable Eidolic connectors and Y splitter Cardas Quad...

Been trying to reach them for quite some time now. Voicemail box is full, emails to contact@whiplash and requests@whiplash... zero responses for the past 10 days. I have a Twag v2 that needs some repairs, possibly a replacement. Just wondering if anyone else here in the community has had any...

Power Cord Shoot-Out: 22 Power Cords Reviewed Intro Yes, it’s another over-long epic Master’s Thesis from markl. This time it’s on aftermarket power cords, and what I learned about them along the way after having *finally* concluded my power cord quest (well, for the foreseeable future...

I am always curious what kind of cable do head-fier prefer?   Me myself prefer the round type (Conventional) type of cable, it is often light and less microphonic issues, what you guys think?

I was going to buy  dbi pro 705  and I would like to use 1/4 trs jack.   Does it matter how thick  cable is?  cuz I got offer with thin cable  and  3.5 jack...   I like this headphones so much.

      It is 16 feet in length.  Is it worth anything?  Clearing my house out and forgot I had this.   Thanks Ian

Have a question I want to ask veteran audiophile When I first bought an audiophile grade headphone, the headphone cable was recommended to increase the sound quality. After that the earpad. After that I had to get an headphone amp followed by a DAC to use with my mpb. Then there are cable that...

I know it varies by brand and cable.  I have owned many pairs of cheap $10 ear buds and have had the cord (at the part just after the jack) break and have sound only come out in one of the 2 ear buds.  This many times happens just a few months after purchasing them.  I have found a little better...

Does anyone know where I can order a TRRS 3.5MM Audio Cable?     Thanks!

Does earpad material have any influence on acoustics? Garrett

Would there be any harm in using a 20 foot extension cable? I really want to listen in bed sometimes. Lets say 24 AWG high quality copper wire is used. There shouldn't be any noticeable signal loss right? I know this is more often discussed for things like coax cables in TV signals.

Basically i really want a boom mike for my ath m40xs and i did some forum trawling that said the cable was proprietary. Yet others disagree and say the cable is a 2.5mm male cable. Could i plug in a 2.5mm male to 3.5mm female adapter so that i can hook up a vmoda boompro to it?

Hi guys,   This is my first thread, so firstly i'd like to say hi to everyone on the forums :)   Now down to business...   I just bought myself some Grado SR125i's (awesome) and i've been looking at making some detachable cables (with a 3.5mm jack) to replace the originals (6.3mm...

Interesting article on Yahoo.   http://www.yahoo.com/tech/no-more-tangles-physicist-claims-to-have-solved-the-91259091134.html

Wondering what if anything do yall use for cable management for ur iems?  I have seen those wraps, cases and such.  Just rather have the opinion of HiFi'ers

Ending of the coiled part of a headphone cable is twisted as can be seen in the photo below. I really dont know how that became like this.   Guys how can I fix this?     

So recently I bought a pair of CHC Silverados off Amazon. So far the sound quality has been great except with one thing. My complaint is how poorly made the headphone cables that were included, now they were quality enough that they were braided but since they were so thin, even the slightest...

What's the best USB audio cable for the money?   I've been using a generic 3 Meter one for a while and don't really believe USB cables make much if any difference in audio quality, however, I'm getting some drop outs and do need to go that distance.    So, I'm looking for a more robust than...

So I am quite an active guy, and I walk around all day with my CIEMs in and a cable dangling and swinging around. When I am not using them, I usually stuff them into my pocket (I know, bad)   I have broken 3 Null Audio cables, which I regard to be some of the best built, and 2 twag cables as...
