If anyone would like to take a look at an Ember, I did a video. Mine is a prototype though so modern boards are slightly different. http://diyah.boards.net/thread/1565/garage-1217-project-ember

I pulled out my old a9 today and had a listen. Very nice headphone, but the pads were falling apart. They're not available any more so I went up to the sock drawer...... In the end, I found that a set of AKG K550 pads fitted perfectly. Even better, the results are.... More comfort. They now...

Topping have produced some cheap little amps in the NX1 and NX2. I also have an NX3 which has a little more power although I do hear very slight hiss with low impedance headphones. Just got my hands on an NX5. It's narrower than the NX3 and just slightly longer. The volume know is recessed...

In a word...... Stunning value for money. Deep bass is there. Raised top. But sound is extremely lucid for a headphone at this price level. It comes with pleathour pads and a spare set of velour. The velours are extremely soft making the headphone very comfortable. Fiddly to fit into the...

My pads needed replacing and the price of the Senn pads is pretty disgusting. So, before laying out on real pads, I bought some 'fakes' from China!! (Yes .... Real fakes!!!) They arrived eventually and I got a little surprise when I tried them. Fit onto the cups was ok, not brilliant, but once...

Jude, or anyone that can help if you read this .... it is very urgent.   I need to contact Uzmininu very urgently. He's in Scotland and goes by the name of Kaspars. I've tried to email him on a .LV email from RG but they come back to me.   Is there any way I can get an email address from...

  I've had a good chance to listen this weekend to both HA10 and HA10se amps and tbh, both are really impressive sounding.   http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m45/iancraig10/?action=view&current=P1000825.jpg  ...

I bought a Zigis portable amp out of curiosity after hearing and reading about it being a nice sounding CMoy.   It is a very cheap amp to buy and tbh I wasn't expecting a great deal and when I saw the inconspicuous black plastic box and a standard little battery compartment for a battery, I...

X-Can V2, Little Pinkie PSU and Beyer DT150 headphones. The V2 has been modified by Mike and he hand makes the psu especially.   Brilliant amp.   Just enter the competition and they're yours ....... if you win.:  ...

Does anyone remember the lovely little Go-Vibes? I have 3 of them and they still stand up well against other amps. Does anyone remember what voltage the V6 needs? It works at 24V but I'm not certain that this is correct. My memory is telling me 12V. Anyone know? Thanks Ian

I have just received a 5th Generation Nano which I'm very pleased with overall. Just one thing to look out for. The dock connection at the bottom uses a different combination of pins for the audio out. My old connectors no longer work with it including a couple made for me by a Headfier...

Just a query about how people feel about these things. I did an exchange long time ago for a Stefan Audio cable for my HD650's and 600's. I've listened a long time and eventually got fed up with the plugs going into the headphone clipping on my shoulders and just the inconvenience of...

I was reading an advert for the Senn HD600 and one thing mentioned was that they could be driven via the speaker out from a normal amp as long as the volume was kept low. Has anyone tried this and if you have, does it do a good job with the Sennheiser HD600? Ian

I have just received the OK2's which sound great.The amazing array of tips is incredible, but with more choices comes more decisions. I tried all of the pads supplied. Then I compared the sound with My ATH-AD900's to see how close it got. The sealed tips are hopeless.Can't get them to fit...

Is there anything that sounds good but resembles the Ipod buds? Open (not IEM's or sound blocking) that just simply fit in your ear like the Ipod buds but actually have a decent sound. I have tried some Sennheiser buds - don't like them. Sound just not good. I have Triple Fi's but like to...

I have just replaced both a Porta Pro and a Senn px100 and compared the new versions directly with the old. Either the headphones have been 'tweaked' or else burn in over the past few years has affected both headphones in virtually exactly the same way. I am now wondering whether...

Hi, Just had some headphones delivered in a 325i box, but the metal enclosure is silver rather than gold. Does anyone know whether the 325i also comes in silver, or whether I've got a 325 in a 325i box? They sound good though. Ian

Hi, Has anyone had any dealings with Purely Gadgets? Card company are checking for fraud and they mentioned this firm and wanted to know whether it was real transaction. When I telephoned Purely Gadgets, the number was redirected to another guy from some other firm who said that he had...

I heard this lady on last night's Prom. Live, was a little bit rough but the music struck me as unusual, so I downloaded her album, 'Alive'. Really nice album with some stunning drumming and a kind of 'ambient' rock. Her voice is unusual - Katie melua-ish at times. Fascinating album that is...

I've been using this horrible, thin lead from my Ipod line out to my amplifier. The one I have is a Zip-linQ. Thin and nasty. Those little ipod radios that attach to the bottom work but they have a volume control in the way and flat out, don't give as much volume as a straight connection so...

It seems that the 751's are one of the rarest things to get your hands on in the UK. Most places that I have contacted regarding them have them on their site but not actually in stock. Some have said that it is difficult to find them for some reason. If you want some though, this firm seem to...

After trying out some ATH-AD700's for some time now, I decided to go further up the AT range just for the hell of it. In the UK, we can't (easily) get the ATH-AD2000 but there are outlets for the 1000. I emailed Audio Technica who replied with an email saying that differences between the 1000...
