PWB moving coil headphones.
Graham at PWB got back to me pretty quickly: "Good Morning Mark. I’m glad to see that our headphones are still working 😊 I’ve just got my mum May, to send me some copies of an article from Popular HiFi from 1973, which is a review by Martin Colloms. Hope this helps in having a bit more info...- chasolla

PWB moving coil headphones.
Thanks Dunring, I'd read that old thread but thought that I should start a new one rather than resurrect it. Unlike any of the photos that I've seen, mine are closed back. The cable is very serious looking and the jack plug does look to be professional standard. Looking again through the old...- chasolla

PWB moving coil headphones.
I've just got these and I'd greatly appreciate some help in identifying them. They are from the 1970's and sound really good but could be bassier. I'm wearing them at work to discourage interaction with my colleagues and none of my little DAP's have any problem driving them. Unfortunately they...- chasolla

Shanling M0 - Smallest Hi-Res Portable Player - New Firmware V3.6
indeed, it really is one of my favourites ever. I've had mine from release and I still use it every day. It will be a sad day when it dies. Having said that, I really fancy Shanling's new H2. As for support, it was superceded by the Pro quite a while ago and they aren't updating the software...- chasolla

It just wouldn't boot after a small, but fatal fall. They've replaced the pcb, screen and back cover and applied screen protectors front and...- chasolla

TempoTec Owners Thread
altharic thanks for the advice. I tried all combinations of button presses. All that I could manage was to force a reboot to a blank screen. I've posted it back to Tempotec. They've got it now and have told me that they will fix it and send it back to me next week. I'm glad that I acted promptly...- chasolla

TempoTec Owners Thread
I think that my V6 has died. I still get the blue led when I press the volume button and the red one when charging. I've rebooted loads of times with the volume and bottom button. It takes about a minute to start the reboot, the blue light flickers and the screen glows faintly a few times and...- chasolla

Obscure Chinese DAPs
I always get concerned when it is also an ebook reader. It makes me think of a poor quality Swiss Army Knife. A lot of more affordable ChiFi has great kit but poor software.- chasolla

I'm not a modder or very analytical in my listening but my unmodded Rockboxed Zishan T1 is my favourite of my players.It's very usable and, when I'm listening to it, it just makes me smile.- chasolla
