    IE8 in London - where to buy?

    I would say it's worth visiting Tottenham Court Road - full of electronics - I haggled for mine and got it brand new for £170 about 2 years back   best of luck!

    Turntable advice

    thanks guys - but I was hoping for a lot broader advice    1) a rough price guide to what you think the components will cost (something that would be the equivalent of a good price-performance ratio - like I said I only have an IE7 to offer as a comparison which I consider to have be not too...

    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...

    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...

    Westone 3 vs. IE8. A Review.

    nice review - personally I prefer the sound signature of the IE8s but due to the lack of isolation compared to triple flange W3s - the W3s win for portable use

    Best choice for under £25?

    it's a bit late but the superfi 5's were on offer on play.com for £35 which is a very good price imo    but you should be aware that they are in-ears and UE (manufacturere) IEMs do have an issue with fitting for some people but these are a new design and should be less intrusive   I...

    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. I would say that I personally found the added benefits of this particular investment to be near minimal - the only real detail I noticed was...

    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...

    JH13Pro Advice - Audiologists in London?

    Hi all, I don't know how many of you are thinking about taking up the JHAudio black Wednesday offer - but I was hoping to clarify a few points: 1) What shipping costs are involved (apart from me sending them my impressions from the UK? 2) What have UK buyers been stung with in terms of...

    JH Audio in the UK!

    hey all, I just spoke to Handheld Audio and it seems that they have not heard anything about this from JHAudio and will most likely NOT be running a similar promotion
