jason i think i figure out what the problem was

my R2 & R3 were different value

created an un-balance in the ground ?

now trying different value for R2/R3, the 4.7K on both seems to hav reduced the hissing, going to try 100k

the list on Tangent site was really confusing, i think Kenshinz might hav the same problem too as he got the same set of components for himself as well , there was only 2 resistor of each value, so i ended up with R2 and R3 different value

my floor is clean

the original version of the plug did not sound good & they were had to wear, keeps dropping out.

then i change them to this current sponge, they fit much better, and the isolation is great (ask jason, he tried it before)

i think the isolation really brought out the full potential of this plug, it can hit lows like no other headphones i tried, its one of the main reason for my building the Cmoy, want to see if the cmoy can better the sound, cause it lacks a bit of details, but the lows will make u dizzy

but i'm not sure what sponge they r...ETYs... they cost $2 each

so far it has, at least to me, sound better the the sonys, but i never try the Etys before

happy b-day jason

no need lar blues, i introduce him my sister

do u mean the shield of the input and output?

yes, they are short together and connected to ground

ask Hung Bros today for price on this baby, he told me should be a little over $200 but not confirm yet.

also saw the new AD series there, Hung's got the full range AD-300 to 700

Cmoy done liao

but got problem...i'm hearing a "hissing" sound during the quite parts, kind of like its raining outside, also theres a click sound when change track is it normal?

or can the sound be improved? the music itself sounds ok, need more listening to be sure.

one more thing, i hav not put in the volume control yet, now using the volume control on MP3 player, whats funny to me is that without the amp i listen to it at abt 28 on the player, with the amp i only need to put to 5 and i can hear

got my op-amp today

also got 1 extra for kenshinz, when i ask the lady for 1 more she said i got to pre-order again thought they would hav at least keep 2 or 3 extra on hand

kenshinz, u want to collect your op-amp tomorrow? let me know if u want, i'll bring it along with me to work

nope , i tried even those that hav components shelfs up to the roof

no OP-AMP, "we don't carry this" was all i got from them, even at Federal, i gave them "opa2132pa" the lady told me no, don't hav, but they hav opa-637

only when i gave her RS part no. then she say "oh yeah, this one is opa-2132pa"

i remember u ask for lastest news regarding availability of OP-amp in SLT ?

the one i ordered from Ferderal is OPA-2132PA, had to giv them the RS part number for them to find it

price $10.50 before gst

they also OPA-637 & OPA627

priced $40 ++

i went with the 2132

i want a Super-Charge CMoy

with regulated power supply, bass enhanced, runs on only 1 AAA and smaller then my Mpio...

i seen jason's PPA (suntec mini meet) it didn't look like its got anymore space

what u builded jason

can i use it on my almost done Cmoy?

anyone the $$$

will ask Hung Bros tomorrow for more info

Cofidential until i got a camera.

is it for your PPA or somthing new?

i ordered the OP-amp from Ferderal today, 1 for me another for kenshinz, the lady say i can only collect tomorrow think i will get 1 more for myself when i go there want to try the 1 batt layout, already bought enough parts for 2 more Cmoy

there is another interesting pair of cans in the same page

Audio Technica

TI = titanium rite, so this also a first of its kind?

ATH-CM7TI

titanuim earphones anyone?

anyone notice the other non-wood cans in the same series? EM9D & EM9R

EM9d

EM9r

i suspect the 9d may be an open headphone while the 9r is closed

i see Audio Technica has put "sovereign" on this as well, could mean they plan to market it as high-end portable headphones??

also as woodies, they make good candidates for future "limited edition" cans

something just hit me

its small enough, maybe we can find someone to make leather coverings for it

call it ATH-EL9

it does look like the same Cherry wood as the W1K

does that put it as the only ear-phone with wooden housing?

i think the amp is going to cost more then the headphone

if the wood is the same as the W1000 series...

close to $200 maybe

the EM7 is $85 retail at Hung (their stock just arrive last week)

maybe also the Cmoy i'm building...cause i can't find a good case for it, may be building my own case out of wood

was going to get the EM7, but decided against it after reading some threads in here, is it that bad?

u think the mini woody will sound better

looks like the EM7 in wood
