Custom cables for Fostex TR-X00 (Finally)
Hello everyone. This is for the people who have purchased the Fostex TR-X00 headphones. As you know, they come with that very heavy and long (10ft) cable. To this date, there has never really been anyone making aftermarket cables for them. I just facilitated a process between periaptcables.com and a company in China. periaptcables.com does custom cables and this China company will be providing them with the connectors that are compatible with our headphones. And the best part, they fit. lol. Most people were using the Sennheiser cables but they are not a great fit and look. Once periaptcables.com gets the connectors, they will display them on their website. They said it can take up to 3 or 4 weeks. So keep an eye out for them soon.

Does anyone have any more experience with this problem? The stock cable is unusable, and I tried buying an aftermarket cloth cable that doesn't really fix the issue (skycableaudios on ebay.co.uk), but it is at least shorter. I'm pretty new to the issue of microphonics. The only thing I've noticed is that if I pinch down near the termination at the headphones using my fingers, the microphonics are dramatically reduced (which makes sense). I guess I could find some clamps to attach to the cable at that spot, but that also feels pretty silly. Has anyone had luck with any other cable?

gurra123Are you talking about cable microphonics? (rub the cable on something and you can hear the contact)

ElectronicVicesDefault periapt are very noisy (microphonic as the cable rubs against... well anything). You can apparently special request in the comments of the order "less microphonics" though I've never seen what they do in that case.

NemoRebornYes. They've offered both Fostex connections for a few months. I have a pair of 4 pin XLR from them for TRx00 and TH900.

Do they still sell 4-pin XLR's for the TR-X00's? I'm looking everywhere and only found one seller on ebay selling them from China.

Yooooo! Thanks the referral! Just ordered 7foot black with 4pin XLR termination. even with 1/4" the TR-X00's and the new THX AAA 789 already sounds insane.

So when I go to periapts website and create a custom cable, will I choose option 2 that is compatible wth the hd 600 series? Or have the connectors not came yet. House

Did this cost extra? About how long did it take you to get yours ordered and shipped? Thank you for the reply. Hope to hear from you soon as I am wanting to get a pair asap

BNHouseI think they did cost extra because they haven't started mass selling it yet. In fact, they were not selling it at all for the Fostex TR-X00 until I told them that there was an ebay seller in China selling the connectors and I gave them their link. They ordered only a few connectors at first to make sure they actually work. So I was the first person to get it. It cost me $110. But once they got the connectors, I got it within a week. It took me longer to wait cause they had to get the connectors and then test them. But now that they know it works, all is good. lol.

I love my Periapt Cables. It might be time to pickup a set of TR-X00 and a balanced cable from Periapt.

Finding your groove: getting into vinyl with Audio-Technica
I’d like to think that I could’ve been friends with the late Hideo Matsushita, founder of Japanese Hi-Fi powerhouse Audio-Technica. If I could, I’d travel back in time to 1960’s Tokyo, where a young Matsushita curated “vinyl listening sessions” at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts, exposing visitors to the sounds and possibilities of high end audio and the warmth of vinyl records. I imagine sitting with him in a mod coffee shop, listening to the stories of what he witnessed in those sessions, the conversations he had with visitors, and what ultimately motivated him to head back to his small apartment above a ramen restaurant and start an audio company of his own. In the histories I’ve read regarding AT’s humble beginnings, Matsushita’s motives seem clear. Produce high end audio at affordable prices, bringing audio excellence into spaces and to customers that simply didn’t have access to it before. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3 phono cartridges did exactly that, and...

The tuning was great, very HD800 like without the strange wide sound stage.. However for my head the arms don’t extend enough to fit the ear. As it is noise cancelling headphones like small ear cups.
My ear lobes bottom is slightly touching the ear pad. Ok for 30mins not ok for a few hours

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
