Hi there all, I am looking to buy a headphone amplifier which has a switchable line-output on the back using a switch on the front. Basically this output will then feed on to some analogue active loudspeakers. The volume will be controlled by a separate pre-amp feeding the line-in on the...

Hi everyone, I've gone through many posts to make a decision, still unsure. Mainly for portable use, with i-aduio X5, but also to switch them to a home hifi now and then. So an all round earphone. Am i right in thinking that ety's have pretty much been surpassed now by the others? I'm...

I have posted my personal favourites from the Hi-Fi & AV Expo 2003 which was held in Heathrow, London today. These high resolution pictures can be found on my website and include: - The stunning new G Series from Meridian. - The DSP7000 and 8000 loudspeakers from Meridian. - The new...

Just wondered if you guys can help. I am trying to find the best program to rip mp3s on windows 2000. I was using Easy CD-DA Extractor on my windows ME system, and it was blindingly fast. 20x rip direct to mp3. Now i put it onto w2k, it rips at half that! For no apparent reason it is...

I have had my comp for ages, based on 440BX mobo and PII350. Recently i had a look at the serial number on the CPU, and in it the succession of numbers 333 comes up, but never 350. I was wondering if i actually have been sold a 333 cpu? Is there any way to tell what speed the CPU is from the...

Ok, i have am earmax pro, and havent been able to get it to work particularly well with my Sony Cd1700. I'm thinking of buying some new headphones (well, i definitely will within next 2 weeks), and am torn between some Etys and CD3000. Both are supposed to provide excellent sound...

I have been sent the Russ Andrews catalogue which contains loads of hi-fi tweaks: cables, feet, lotions and potions at al. One think i am interested in is the Power Cords they have called YellO. They sell 3 different lengths, 1m, 1.5m, 2m lengths, and you can have it in either 1 way, 2 way...

I heard a few months ago that a headroom website facelift was in the pipeline. At the moment it looks pretty much the same as usual. It was suppose to get a whole load more pictures of the merchandise for a start. Anyone know when this is gonna happen??

I'm interested in this amp, and wondered if anyone has experience of it, or has any info about it. Seems like a class product, i'm suprised more people dont see it as an option. It's no more to buy (incl psu) than a earmax pro.

OK. I am about to move house to a place not so "secure" as the one i'm used to. Basically, i'm s**t scared my comp will get stolen at some point, and i'll loose all my data. I need some advice on what you think is the best way, both finacially, and to reduce hassle, to back-up all my data for...
