There's a review of the Helios Model 2 at the Hi-fi choice site. It says that they have reviewed the Stargate as well but it doesn't seems to be on-line. Click here!

I think that sums it up. I;ve looked at this adaptor about 10 times in confusion and only now do I see AC/DC written on it, plain as day. The thing is I ordered it via RS components here in the UK. It took 3 days and cost me £30 (price you pay for living on a tiny island). I was very specific...

So, I bought a 12vac 1000ma mains adapter today to replace the X-can's standard PSU. To cut to the chase, it doesn't have the desired effect. The sound is being output at a much lower volume than before and with huge amounts of distortion. My X-can is the V2 model and I'm in the UK. Any advice...

The Sugden CDMaster is the same size as the Headmaster with remote unit. Click here for a large picture.

Wow, beaten to it! You sure demolished your Headmaster I think you have a better camera than I have access to so extra pics are kinda redundant now. Also not many parts were labeled.

Quote: Originally posted by Nik How did you opened the Sugden? I cannot... Note, these intrustions are for the non-remote version of the amp. Flip the amp upside down and unscrew the metal feet by twisting them. Underneath you will see a threaded rod with a nut on the end...

Kelly, I have to say that pretty much sums up what I saw. Mine's a non-remote version though so replacing the pot shouldn't be much of a problem. I think I might look at taking a basic electronics/soldering course... I'm glad the Headmaster doesn't have legs or it'd be heading for the door right...

I have had my Headmaster for some time now and have been growing ever more curious as to what is contained within it's minimalist exterior. Well, today I threw caution to the wind and opened it up. Now, here is where a problem arises. I know very little about electronic components and as...

Since getting my HD-600s and the Equinox cable, they have displaced my SR-325s as headphone of choice for all music. I mostly listen to rock. I try out my once beloved 325s every now and again, but I even prefer the 600s for stuff like System of a Down. Also, after an hour with the 325s I'm...

It's by 'Mad Donna' not Madonna. I've had the displeasure of seeing the video as well as hearing the damn thing. The vocals are a pretty good match though. You can buy it here. I think it's meant for kids though.

Well, I litened to/watched Later with Jools Holland and he had Gomez & the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion performing, along with a few other I wasn't so interested in, which was nice. Then I listened to Gomez - 'In Our Gun' as I've had it since it was released, but haven't listened to it as much...

Most of my lsitening is done whilst surfing the web, or even playing games on-line if I'm not to bothered about winning . Something that I've noticed is that if I've just bought a new bit of equipment, any differences will pull my attention away from surfing/gaming and back to the music where...

All my audio gear is on a low-lying portion of my computer desk (1' above ground). I just lay my headphone of the moment on top on my Headmaster and shove the cable underneath the desk out of the way. Since getting my HD-600s my Grados are lying on my scanner which is stacked upon my CDP. I...

Okay... I've tried something very similar to what you described. I don't have any Grado comfies, so I took the foam inserts from my HD-500s, and the pads from my HD-600s and cobbled up something similar to what you describe. I've spent the last hour listening to a few CDs with the modded 325s...
