Just wondering if anybody knows of a custom tube amplifier manufacturer based in the UK. Google doesn't seem to so perhaps they don't exist. The way things are going after Brexit purchasing anything from outside UK is either expensive or impossible. Already had purchases in USA and India turned...

Hi. I've experienced problems with the one I purchased from Ali Exp probably due to AK240 2.5 input which has a bit of a negative reputation, keeps loosing contact. Other than having one made which can be expensive any recommendation would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please excuse my ignorance but totally new to balanced gear. Have just purchased a used AK240 and wish to use my Westone 50 pro IEM in its balanced output. Would I need to have a new cable made or is there an adapter on the market to allow single ended IEM to work fully balanced from the AK's...

Hi. Wondered if any UK or EU members know of where I might be able to get my T1 recabled with a detachable cable. Original cable is on its way out. If this process is not available I guess my only option will be sending them back to Beyerdynamic.

Just received 2 Tung Sol 5998 tubes one of which is NOS the other used. Should I expect the NOS tube to burn a lot brigher until well used? as this is the case. Both sound very good I'm glad to be able to say. Cheers.

The earpieces on my Shure 535 SE have become very loose and swivel far too easily. I was wondering if anybody having had the same issue could confirm if this is likely caused the cable connector or the earpiece socket. if it is the first then I could and would simply replace the cable, however...

I've got a reoccurring issue with my Bottlehead Crack which keeps loosing the right channel audio, I've already forked out close to £250 getting it repaired twice and now the same issue is back again. Having paid quite a bit for suitable tubes I was wondering if there is a tube amp ( as good as...

Hi. I'm running a Bottlehead Crack into a Parasound dac which is the first dac I've owned with its own volume control. My question is. For best results should I have the Bottleheheads volume turned up full when controlling volume using the dac.. Hope that makes sense. Many thanks in anticipation.

Just spent my life savings on a new Byerdynamics  T1 2nd generation and would like to ensure my Bottlehead has the best possible tubes to match the T1. Any advice would be appreciated, I'm based in the UK but will purchase world wide if required. At present its fitted with supplied tubes and as...

My present setup consists of an AK120 connected directly to Bottlehead crack + Speedball and HD 650 headphones. I'm loving this setup and to my old ears it sounds magical. However on just about all the posts I read within the forums everybody seems to use a dedicated dac into the amp or combined...

Looking to purchase my first desktop amp, at present using Cayin C5 to run both Sennhieser HD 650 and HiFiman HE 400i. Got down to two options and would really appreciate some advice. The two options are iFi Audio Micro iCAN Headphone Amplifier and Gustard H10, both can be had for approx £225 at...
