After a year of owning my little dot iii, I finally decided to try to change the valves. Bought some Mullard M8161s which arrived today. Changing them was easy, but swapping the jumpers inside the LDiii was a pain. Who thought putting a little hole under the amp was the best way to switch the...

I could do a northern meet. Manchester, Warrington or Blackpool area would suit best. My current list of stuff (depending on what else I get tempted with in the next few months - I curse forums with classified ads!): Beyerdynamic DT880 premium 250 ohm Soundmagic HP100 JVC HAS400B (actually...

No, I don't think you can, though I wasn't looking for that when I was reviewing the specs.

Pretty cool. Thanks for photos.

OK, so didn't do any of the above....though perhaps I have been swayed by the help you all gave.   Bought a pair of Denon D7100 (not sure I'd ever justify £1000 for them , but just over £400...) as I decided I fancied something with a bit more bass and when I couldn't see any D7000 went for...

If only it was that easy. Hifi shops here in the UK don't seem to stock huge variety of headphones (or at least not that you can tell from their websites). I'll have to look and see where the nearest decent one is and arrange to go audition. The NAD seems only to be sold by one chain, who don't...

I like both headphones though they are the first two pairs of decent headphones I've bought. The microstreamer is portable and I wanted a more fixed one (the microstreamer and headphones is my entire hifi at present, but seems impermanent, not sure that makes sense) that will also allow me to...

That's an idea. Any suggestions where to start? I did think of getting Senn 600s, but wasn't sure the microstreamer would have enough umph. Cheers James

Cool. I'll look forward to it.

Sorry, can't answer your question, but is there any chance you can put a picture up as I'd really like to see what you've made. Cheers James

Hi all, I've been searching all day and can't seem to find inspiration. It's my birthday at the end of the month and I want to buy a new DAC/headphone amp for myself. I'm trying to decide between the NAD D 1050 and TEAC UD 301. I've read a number of reviews of the NAD and had pretty much made...

Hi, I have a question about the Esprit. I'm planning on buying myself a DAC/headphone amp for my birthday in July (or at least, my wife is -she just doesn't know it yet). I want to be able to feed a Sonos connect into the DAC (I think the digital output from the sonos is optical and so will, I...

Not to mention my marriage. Sat next to my wife who just gave me a funny look for scrolling through the thread full of photos of everyones set up.

Just thought I'd say hi. I'm relatively new to good quality headphones. Over the last couple of years, I've bought a number of pairs of better quality, although still budget, in ear buds, the sound magic E10 are the ones I currently use. For my birthday this year, I decided to spoil myself...
