SIDE NOTE. Sorry for skipping July I was just out of town the whole month. Yard Sale should be up in a few days and if you bought something in July's YardSale it will be shipped also in a few days. London and Covid took it out of me for a bit. Finally getting back to normal
Also thanks to anyone who grabbed ERIS it is an overwhelming success!

Ended up getting a hart audio cable. I'm still curious if I messed up my headphones by running this jank cable for a week, tho.

2024-08-27 21:08:19 +0000 UTCI lost the cable to my Fostex T60RPs. I got a cheap 4 pole 3.5 mm cable and 4.4 mm adapter on Amazon to make a cable that was not too expensive. Is this ok? Here are the products I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RB17ZY1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075165H2M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

2024-08-15 15:13:32 +0000 UTCFollow up: can a Zen DAC V2 drive those headphones sufficiently?

2024-08-11 03:06:50 +0000 UTCWhat kind of DAP should I look for that could drive Fostex T60RPs or Sennheiser 600s? Would something as tiny and cheap as the Hiby R3 II be enough?

2024-08-10 01:40:21 +0000 UTCTungsten DS on order; now I have to start looking for an amp. Know you discussed some of this in your video 7mos ago, but that was still early days so wondered if you had more insight. Specifically, what would be your top 3 recommendations for driving the Tungsten well? (95-100%), preferably < $1K, but more if required (headamp, amp, streamer, DAP -- doesn't matter)

2024-08-07 20:17:40 +0000 UTCWhat is the difference between stage IEMs used by performers vs. what we use as consumers?

2024-08-05 01:13:34 +0000 UTCWhat is the difference between a decent audio interface and a headphone amp? Are they somewhat interchangeable?

2024-08-04 05:11:26 +0000 UTCHey Z I'm looking for a DAP that will work well with Plex amp. I'm looking for something that will play back my Plex library but perfect. Preferably it would have a 3.5 and a 4.4 balanced port but I will take any recommendations.

2024-08-03 06:57:01 +0000 UTCHello Z, got the Tube itch and have a Schiit Vali 3 to be delivered this week. It comes with a Chinese 6N3P with lots of options like a Sylvania 5670, WE369A, etc. Here is the question, where is the best place to buy these alternatives? I am Amazon comfortable, and get leery about eBay or other uncommon purveyors. It’s like folks are secretive of recommendations like supplies will run out. what do you recommend?
Thomas Phelan
2024-08-01 21:59:15 +0000 UTCHey Z, what is the best for the money (not cheapest) dongle DAC? You recommend quite a few and it is difficult to determine which to buy. Maybe your favorite top 5?

2024-08-01 21:01:17 +0000 UTCDo you have any tips on cleaning and maintaining IEMs? I have had a few IEMS (Aria and OH10) that I have needed to remove and clean the nozzle filters as they did not play audio out of one channel after a year. Also cute anime boys when?
