Hi Guys,   I was looking at the FA-003's, but have ended up with both the Lindy and HM5's.   Both came with the carrying case, and 2 pleather pads. The cabling choices are different between the two though.   The Lindy's come with a long cable and a 6.5mm adaptor.   The HM5's come...

Hi Guys, I love the way they sound, and the comfort level is great with velour pads. Unfortunately, the right headphone appears to not be matching the volume coming through the left. I'm looking to see if this can be fixed, but am also wondering about any alternative phones I could buy to use in...

Hi Guy, I've been using these for a couple of years, and am not sure if my warranty is still valid now. Anyway, Lately I've noticed that the right earpad seems to be noticeably quieter than the left. I'm going to try a different pair of phones/source when I get home to be sure, but any ideas if...

I'm fairly new to all this, and not an audiophile by any means, but I'm looking to replace my RP21's with something more substantial now. The cable's starting to go, and I figure now is as good a time to upgrade as any. I know this is like comparing apples to oranges, but can someone tell me...

that glow amp looks sweet, but the $120 worldwide shipping may force it out of my range :-(

If I raised the budget to the $500 mark, does that change things noticeably?

classicalguy: I was looking at some dac's at Pacific Valve before. I think they were Musiland ones? The svdac05 looks pretty cool; the led front definitely makes it stand out from the crowd. sschmeicchel: The MD10 looks nice. It seems like it's in a completely different league to the svda05...

Would I be better of with a dac such as the zero or beresford, in combination with a usb->coax/optical convertor rather than a self-contained unit eg Fubar3? I've currently got an old terratec soundsystem dmx in my machine, but I'm going to be upgrading soon, and figure I'll just ditch the...

Hi there, Can anyone recommend a good *desktop* USB DAC & Headphone Amp Combo Unit, or would I be better off with seperates? If so, anty recommendations on that front? I'm looking to spend aound £150/$300. Most of the units I've seen around tended to be portable, and I figure I should be...

well, i was trying to get them from dolphinmusic.co.uk (~£60/$120 all in) but they are out of stock and won't be getting new stock as thier supplier has discontinued them (so I was told). Turnkey have them at a whopping £99/$200! Is there no-one who does them at a reasonable price in th euk?

i'd mostly be using it while sitting at the computer, so the wallwart possibility of the pocket amp2 drew my interest. are there any in this price range that are designed to be used from the mains? or failing that, is there a way to minimize the noise they pick up from its usage?

well, i can't solder, so building is out of the question. are the pocket, xenos, and twinnstarr inferior to a MINT? who sell's them cheaply? what's the difference between them?

well, from what i understand the ad900s being open phones, are lighter than the a900s, and should/do give a better midrange as well as being less muffled. however looking at these, i find that the sennheiser hd600's are only £10 more on top. <sigh> it never ends.

those are the cmoy ones i was looking at on ebay is the pocket amp2 any better? it seems ot be based on a different design, and seems to be better value for money. the other's i'm looking at are the: Twinstarr Red/Blue/Black (Store/Ebay) Xenos 0HA/3HA (Store/Ebay) the 0HA seems to...

Actually, i just took a quick look at the sticky, and came across the Electric Avenues - Pocket Amp 2. it seems to be a bargain for the price, since it also has the option of using the mains for power.

hi there. i'm looking for a cheap amp to help boost my sennheiser hd497's, and my audio-technica ath-ad/a900, once i decide which to get. are these Cmoy altoids style tin amps sold on ebay any good? can anyone propose an alternative? i'm not looking to spend anything more than £30-40.

well my 2nd pair of leads for my sennheiser hd497 just broke, so i've been looking to get a new pair of headphones, whilst i wait for the replacement leads to arrive, and then use the 497's as a backup. i was all set on getting a hd600, but then decided on the hd595, since it would be easier to...
