    DIY Earbuds

    Two more from me. This is a 75 Ohm Bio composite driver. It's a pretty cheap driver, but sounds quite nice to me. This one is a 300 Ohm version of the Blue Be/LCP driver from Huayunxin. I notice that they have a couple of new drivers. I'd like to give them a try, but they're quite spendy...

    DIY Earbuds

    The shells are just generic Clear MX500 Shells. I've ordered them from a couple of different stores and dye them on the stove, along with the wire for the cables. Actually, the second pair uses these translucent black shells and this brown wire, also dyed. I finished another pair today using...

    DIY Earbuds

    I've been busy and finished three more sets. 400 Ohm Graphene 120 Ohm Be Composite 300 Ohm Multi Layer Diaphragm So far, I haven't run into a driver I don't like. Everything that I've built works for at least one genre or another. I also think that my experiments with color have been...

    Here's my latest, with a 300 Ohm version of the yellow LCP driver from Huayunxin. Just finished it this afternoon, but so far it sounds pretty good.

    Wish I could be more help, but I'm very much an amateur. Good luck with your experiments! :)

    DIY Earbuds

    I just bought a few bottles of synthetic fabric dye and followed the instructions on the label. There are also instructions on Youtube, here is a video from the brand I used: . The trick is probably going to be the type of plastic and how readily it absorbs the dye. My original intention was...

    DIY Earbuds

    Here's another pair, this time with the 32 Ohm Lithium Magnesium drivers. I need to spend more time listening to this driver, but I do like it. It seems to be a more mid/high focused driver, which I appreciate. The main problem for me at the moment is that I've been primarily using a tube amp...

    DIY Earbuds

    I wondered about that. I've only ordered from Aliexpress so far, but the rep. suggested that for custom requests it would be better to order from their site. I haven't tried the 120 Ohm Beryllium drivers yet, but they're on my list so I'll have to grab a pair or two the next time I order parts.

    Yes, that's the driver. They do custom impedance on request. You can also order from their website huayunxin.net.

    DIY Earbuds

    It's been a while since I posted in this thread, but I've been making earbuds again lately and have had some success. This is my favorite so far. A 300 Ohm black LCP/DLC driver from Huayunxin with homemade cable. I dyed the shells and wire and think that everything came out really well...

    The Utsusemi-Works Thread (Sound Dragon, Sound Tiger)

    I've been using the Sound Tiger Grazioso since January and I like it quite a lot, but my use is probably a bit different than most. I have a couple of earphones with ~5 ohm impedance and a lot of amps struggle to drive that kind of load. So the Grazioso serves as a kind of buffer in those...

    Sound Rhyme impression thread

    You should see the computer that the amp is plugged in to. :yum: That's the Kaei TAP1-DACs, but it's not actually driving the SR8 directly as 4.5 ohms impedance is a little too low. You can see the Sound Tiger Grazioso on the right edge of that image, which is actually driving the SR8. It's a...

    SR8 Just arrived. Have lots of listening to do, but I'm very happy with how the shells turned out. Forgive the poor picture, not the best lighting here on the sofa. :)

    KAEI TAP-1 Portable Hybrid Balance Headphone Amp

    I got the version with DAC a couple weeks ago and so far I like it a lot. Enough that I decided to give it a bit of a makeover. I was a bit worried that taking it out of the case would make it vulnerable to RFI, but so far I haven't noticed any problems.
