Turntable advice
Hi guys, I've recently developed an urge to get a vinyl setup - there just seems to be something quite special about listening to a LP compared to your standard mp3 PC setup. However, I know next to nothing about such setups as I have never had any sort of hifi system myself - old man has...- xiaoipower

How much better is Apple lossless quality?
your question has been endlessly debated and often brings about heated arguments - your best bet is to simply do some blind testing yourself - put a few pair of songs on your ipod (lossless and vbr) then see if you can honestly distinguish between them - then decide if there is an audible...- xiaoipower

ACS Custom Sleeves With Westone 3
I also purchased the ACS customs for the W3s after getting somewhat annoyed with the sibilance issues using the default tips that come attached to the W3s.

JH13Pro Advice - Audiologists in London?
thanks for the headsup timmy it appears another person recommended the same people in the audiologist thread I've spoken to handheld audio about their deal and I don't believe it offers real value for money - although we're hardly in a position to talk about that if we're considering...- xiaoipower
