    Anyone got "Let's Go To Work" - Rory Gallagher?

    "Let's Go To Work" is a four CD boxset of The G Man's live albums (lets face it Rory really was at his best live!) So CD's of "Irish Tour" "Live in Europe" "Stage Struck" & "Meeting with the G Man" in one set! Don't expect quality audio here although "Stage Struck" is pretty sweet ... Now the...

    Finally got round to picking up this on CD (had it on vinyl many moons ago ) It still sounds sweet! What other TD albums would you recommend? What other similar artists would you recommend? TIA - Paul PS - Damn you Head-Fi

    Corda Aria & which headphone?

    I really like the Aria which I have had for a couple of weeks - the sound is great using a CDP or with the built in DAC & FB2K - I have been listening on my (only slightly older) Senn HD600's but I have finally decided I cant get on with the Senns (wont bore you with the full details - I just...

    Senn HD600 - Love the sound - Hate the "feel"

    Having bought a pair of Sennheiser HD600 phones a couple of ago I am still not convinced I can live with them despite loving the sound they make! - The problem is I dont like the style of the Senns i.e. the fact that they enclose my ears and I was considering something of the same quality (Beyer...

    Samsung YP-U1Q 2GB MP3 Player

    Anyone got any views on this unit which is selling for £66 in the UK ($115 approx) Seems pretty well spec'd for the money (see here http://www.samsung.com/uk/products/d...Specifications) Perhaps there are better similar products you would recommend in this price range (?) Paul

    Laptop ~ Aria DAC ~ So many questions?

    Hi folks! I am waiting for a Meier Corda Aria to arrive (damn u Head-Fi ) & have read some interesting threads here especially about the Aria's DAC which is used via USB and a PC - in my case that would be a laptop & raises a number of questions about how to get the best out of the DAC? - most...

    Orders from abroad - Advice please?

    Hi - another couple of questions about importing goods from abroad (Damn you Head~Fi ) I sent an email to Justin @ Headamp about the cost of an order (Gilmore Lite) to UK - $15 for any international order (which suprised me!) When I asked what I could expect to pay by way of Customs Duty etc...

    Question about trading here?

    Hope this is the right forum I have been sucked in by the viscious "head-fi made me do it" upgrade-itis syndrome I now regularly check the "For Sale" boards and spotted an amp I like the look of - It is £220 (or less hopefully ) and would be sent by DHL Airmail from Germany (I am based in...

    My first amp [PA2V2] - Best way to use?

    Hi - Head-Fi made me do it! I was happy with my cans & then I got sent over here from another forum & look what's happened ... Anyway I ordered a PA2V2 (less than a week to get to UK & Gary's such a nice helpful guy) - I wanted this mainly for mobile use with 2 x mp3 sources and a pair of...

    Headphone comfort needed ...

    Hi folks! I have been off work for a few months with a back problem and have a CDP / Amp in the bedroom where I spend long periods lying - Headphones have been a godsend but the Senn HD555's I decided on are not comfortable when lying flat - I also dont like the circumaural "feel" after an hour...

    Headphone / Amplifier questions ...

    Hi - having got back into listening to CD music recently my antique CD player died & I bought a new Marantz intending to just use its headphone socket (with its own volume control) The sound is much better than my old CDP but I would like to have some control over the audio which on some CD's is...

    Rega Ear Headphone amp - questions?

    Would this amp be suitable for use connected directly to my CD player? I have no amplifier for this CDP Presumably 2x phonos (?) The reason I am confused is because of what the Rega web pages say about connection ... Quote: The Ear simply connects to the tape output of an amplifier via...

    CD Player w/o amp advice?

    Thanks to this fine forum I have recently bought some decent (IMHO) headphones (Senn555) I have a number of poor quality sources to choose from the best of which is my AV receiver (Denon) & DVD player (Pioneer 575A - hybrid SACD & DVD-A player) which gives me a decent enough sound but I expect I...
