    SoundMAGIC P20's

    I've been looking for some overhead cans for on the go to complement my IEM's (and no..before you say anything..I'm not looking to spend £100's and for something to rival the SQ of my JH13's, just a nice cheap can on the go). Closed back may I add. I'm considering P20's, £20 delivered seems...

    can I use a bigger capacitor than needed?

    right..I have a RROD Xbox 360. My error code is 0020 which means a GPU fault. I have applied the X clamp, no joy. Looking at the motherboard, there appears to be 3 capacitors that are bulging, not by much, but enough to make me suspect they are gone. So I googles the cap numbers and comes...

    newb amp for JH13's..Mini³?

    this will be my first amp build, my idea is to a) save money (I'm poor at the moment, can afford about £40 tops) b) get into this as a hobby. I've done a small amount of electronics and soldering and circuit diagrams before (GCSE electronics at school, made a random number selector with an LED...

    Sony MDR-V150 mods

    last year I reluctantly bought some Sony MDR-V150's: this is because I had a £15 store credit for HMV and I really wasn't interested in buying much else so just bought the 150's as a meh might as well. Bass is bloaty and barely gets down low, mids are extremely muffled..like..p** poor...

    JVC RX700 questions

    as the final piece to my audio inventory (until I need a new amp or soundcard or new cable for JH13's blah blah) I would like some full sized cans for my home PC, not too worried about open back vs. closed back but I would like circumaural. So I was going to blow the cash on AT AD700's for...

    Sony S-Series upgrade to Fuze?

    with my pending JH13's I feel I should grace them with a new dap. I have around £100 there or thereabouts to spend, which puts the X-Series and S9 out of my price range (and I feel I would be paying for extra features I just wouldn't use). I've previously owned a D2+ but sent it back, I...

    SE530's & Klipsch ovals

    Recently I've been having a lot of comfort issues with IEM's, every one I use seems to be ok for a while then starts to hurt my ears in a kinda aching way. I got my SE530's just over a week ago and they have been pretty comfortable but the thick silicone and round shape of the tips started...

    so after just having sold my JVC FX500's, I'm looking for a new pair but the cable must go over the ear natively..this is because the only pair of IEM's I've owned that fitted perfectly were my Shure e2c's, other IEM's I have to wear with the cable over ear but don't fit properly because they...

    £200 for isolating earphones

    I should get some overtime next month from work so will have a couple of hundred to spend on some IEM's. As much as I love my FX500's they don't isolate well enough for commuting purposes. Sound signature I'm looking for is rather bassy in quantity and quality with a deep bass extension with...
