E-MU Teak Repair - Any Experience?
Hello, I am wondering if anybody has any experience contacting E-MU support, sending them headphones for repair, or getting them back fixed. Can anybody share any experience? I have been emailing them for a while now, but nobody has responded. Thank you.

pc38x still has audio coming through with the volume dial turned all the way down
Finally got my hands on the pc38x. I mostly wanted to try this headset because of all the good things i heard about it. Out of the box i wasn’t really impressed. My 50 dollar astros were just as loud if not louder. After setting up an EQ on dolby access i got them sounding a little better. But one thing that really bothers me is the volume dial on the headset. When i turn it all the way down there’s so much audio still coming through, like the headset is turned up 10-20%. Is this normal?

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

So I look at the Flagships every flagship planar is either too cold and boring to listen to, or have recessed mids. Both of which isn't my tastes. After researching every model of every brand of planars, I found out there is no model that does everything I want for a planar to do. And the ones that did (LCD series, or HE-500) were too ******* heavy.
So instead I went for a semi-flagship semi-closed dynamic can that has extreme bass and excellent reproduction. Dynamics also sound more natural so I have zero complains. I'll be waiting another 3-5 years to see what planar offerings emerge.
There are other things that are inherent in a planar driver versus a dynamic (step response shows these differences best), but it's a type that I'd be interested in having/adding to the collection. (Much the same as I'd like to add a balanced armature IEM and a high level closed back to kind of "complete" my personal collection. See my BA IEM poll in the link below:)

I'm assuming that your tastes/personal preferences just run towards a more bass heavy response, where mine have been programmed for a more neutral (i.e., "accurate") presentation. (Which is why I was so interested in the Massdrop 7XX unit and why I eventually purchased one primarily based on my past experience with AKG's and the leak of that units measurements on Changstar by Will of Massdrop.)
The Fostex unit is a pretty decent measuring ortho type headphone with spectacular build quality. I just wonder if the rumors of the Massdrop co-branded Fostex item are eventually materialize and will it end up being a derivative of the TH500RP? If they do this unit like they did the AKG 702AE to MD 7XX, I'd be on it like stink on a monkey.
If they can bring out a D5000 derivitive for $199 like they did with the 7XX (which also retailed for $699 in the 702AE form), that would be awesome and most likely end my search for a solid, higher end closed back set of cans. I keep wanting to buy into the AKG/MD 553 Pro, but since I have the AKG 545's, it's a little redundant (even those I use exclusively in my portable rig).
