Sample Package to Sounds Guidance

Saturday, August 27, 2011

Joe offered to review my cables publicly in a shoot-out thread that he already has running. I'm 100% confident that these things will ahem... kick ass regardless of the fact that for the time being they're selling for under 100 dollars shipped which is quite a steal.

These are going out Monday and I look forward to his impressions!

I had initial teething issues with fit, but now I'm confident that I can start selling these en masse. These are pinned for the Jerry Harvey Audio line of custom in-ear monitors in my flavor of silver wire. Ted builds the connectors by hand, it was his ingenuity and craftsmanship in his hand made connectors that makes these IEM cables possible. Being handmade, they'll start out good and only get better the more we make right? We've got the TF10, Westone, and Shure cables NAILED though!




Some New LOD's and IC's

I figure I don't post up enough of these even though they sell like hotcakes so here we go!

There are all for one of our first supporters, John "Anderoan" of Head-Fi. He's a great guy to talk to and I enjoy the PM's we send back and forth! How come Ted got homemade jam, I want some too man!



Thanks for stopping by!

Grado Labs

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

Now see, I don't understand why they're called Grado "LABS" if they've been making caveman simple, yet excellent headphones since before the internet was invented and just been tweaking it little by little every 2-3 years.

Anyway I was very sloshed one night off of Stone Brewing's Ruination IPA and I accidently disconnected the solder pad. Usually this is very easy to avoid. One phone call to Grado and the next day my headphones are sent off for repair. Having them upgraded to the SR125i cups and cable too!

I had to pay a very meager sum of money considering that I would just straight up pay for these upgrades myself so kudos to Grado for taking care of one of their biggest fans!

It's odd that even with the newer orthodynamics that are out, you still have the diehard Grado fans who will listen to nothing else! I was originally looking for a DT880, but I ended up liking the SR325is I heard in a store the other day so maybe I'm going to go that route instead haha.

Sound Tubes is now a part of Headphone Lounge!

So uh I've been fairly busy these days, I met a guy named Jin on Head-Fi who made what appeared to be really simple and awesome headbands for Grados, I asked if he wanted to distribute his products on my page as a courtesy to show the appreciation for his stuff, and he offered to do it vice versa! His HTML skills are vastly superior to mine apparently though -_____-


He has a fairly large fanbase compared to mine too!

Distributors and What to Eat for Breakfast?

Saturday, August 20, 2011


Looking at possible small-scale distribution opportunities for any headphone, IEM, or interconnect cables to take this project to the next level, I've received a couple offers already which I am fully considering, so I just wanted to put this out there publicly for anybody looking for new friends haha.

Imagine a vast clone army of these in various configurations..

It's 7:30AM, I'm really hungry. I could go make cereal right now which would be virtually silent while everybody is sleeping (carry the treasure back into my room and make it),

OR... OR...

I could go all out, make a bacon/cheese/avocado omelette with some steak tips right now (omelette skills are crucial to woman courtship at my age), which would not only wake 4 people in my house up from the sound, but from the smell.

Eff it.. I'm just going back to sleep lol.


Fun Fact: Braiding Isn't Just For Fun Apparently

Friday, August 19, 2011

"...When cable is twisted it becomes capacitive, which accentuates the low end while suppressing the highs to a certain degree. In a headphone cable, the tighter the twist the more prevalent this phenomenon becomes. Braiding a wire has a different effect on the signal put through it, which causes it to have the brighter sound. A friend of mine once explained in detail the phenomenon that exists with a braided cable, but as I'm not someone with a firm knowledge of electrical theory I forgot how it works. " -Van Jensen, one of my customers

I'll be honest, I've literally never had a decent explanation other than "it's silver, and it's more conductive" but apparently it's also been a fluke due to how we had been making them too!

I didn't believe myself that the litz braid displayed here had such a profound effect alongside the silver until now...
I thought braiding it was just putting more work and love into a cable but alas, sound tells everything!
