    Earphones for my mother?

    Hey again, Head-Fi,   I haven't been here in a while.   I'm in the UK, budget's around £40.   Kinda out of the loop with regards to what's new, what's a deal, etc.   Anyhow she's looking for in-ear headphones. She's new to them so I'd like to put comfort first, and decent...

    Do Expensive Cables make a difference or is it just Snakeoil.......

    29/30 is unlikely, I know sets of headphones which would get lower rates for accurate guesses between them.   "waving oscilloscopes" gave an amusing mental image though.

    Do Expensive Cables make a difference or is it just Snakeoil.......

    Did you know that Pete of Double Helix Cables would have me believe that the cable sheathe would actually affect the sound? I'm not talking about (metal) magnetic cable shielding either.   I think back to the post here about it being impossible to "develop" new cables - it was obvious to...

    Do Expensive Cables make a difference or is it just Snakeoil.......

    Quote: "you should assume that your subjective observation is in error"   The purposes of headphones as I understand them are 1) Analysing music for production/assessment/modification, assuming that all listeners will hear something different for obvious reasons 2) Listening to...

    Weird Rockboxed Sansa Fuze V2 issue

    A recent issue with my Sansa Fuze has been causing me a little confusion.   Disconnecting it seems to disable some of my USB connections including my external hard drive, DSLR, webcam, mic and DAC (but not my wi-fi adapter/keyboard/mouse).   I've never experienced anything like this...

    UK National Meet 2011 Impressions (02/04/11)

    LCD-2: A very nice set of headphones, everything is quite natural about them from their wooden appearance to their sound. While nothing offends and they are forgiving of songs which may normally hurt your ears, they also didn't wow me in any particular way. Used balanced from the Roc. There...

    Head-Fi UK Meet: 02/04/2011 - London

    I'm hoping someone at the meet with soldering/DIY skills could help me with reterminating my AD2000s.   I am willing to cover costs for the connector/solder used, etc.   Thanks.

    Head-Fi UK Meet: 02/04/2011 - London

    I'll come if I'm free. Why don't I own a calendar..oh dear. I have AD2000s, unfortunately no laptop to use with my Musiland Monitor 02 US.   This is exciting.

    the necessity of an amp?

    I agree with xnor, "tightens up" is generally going to be a fairly abstract concept to someone who hasn't yet had the opportunity to try audio components that work well with their headphones.

    Armaegis. Oh I was unaware of this, thanks. I'll check with my friend as he put Rockbox on before sending me it.   If it DOES work that's great news as I won't need a new DAP.

    The iBasso D12, dual dacs . images . new Sysconcept optical cable . . Topkit by HiFlight. .

    I see. As the P4 seems different from the P3+ but the D12 is a new D12 but with what I've heard of it, I guess it could be the better choice for me.   Would this make the D12 better value for money?   There are still a few things to consider however, as the line out on my Fuze doesn't...

    I meant comparisons betweeen their respective equipment types, but I was concerned that by getting a D12 I may lose out on what the P4's amp has to offer, while at the same time I have no idea how good the P4 actually is.

    Same with the P4 but I kinda need comparisons against the D12 before I consider purchasing either.

    If the light is blinking or fading, and the SQ went down, that's an indicator of the battery needing to be charged I reckon. Either that or the switch like they said, but I'm just speaking from experience with the P3+

    @jamato8 You have an impressive collection of portable amps, would you be able to give any comparisons?

    iBasso D6 "Fer-de-Lance" USB DAC/Amp

    If this is the new D4 and includes a DAC then I seriously doubt the amp can compare to the very similarly priced P4 which is dedicated to the function of amplification.   What I want to know is how it differs from the D12 other than connectivity.

    Lisa III (Triad Audio) - Update

    Will the L3 be as good or better? Just wondering because it sounds like it'll be far smaller.

    If the D12 is the new D10, then am I to assume this replaces the D4?

    30th November Evening - Mini Meet in Bank, London

    Sorry I couldn't make it guys, I've been pretty ill recently. I'd have forced myself to come but I didn't want to risk giving you anything or making it worse, what with the cold and all.

    30th November Evening - Mini Meet in Bank, London

    I sold my DACmagic a long time ago, and didn't have a source with a line out at the time (or now) to compare it with as I just sold my S:Flo 2 (which like the DACmagic has dual WM8740s). I THINK Lecky has a V-Dac I'd like to compare it to, but IDK if he's coming or not.   All you gotta do...

    I was going to purchase an amp and some portable headphones, but decided to wait until the meet to do so, however I will be bringing a Musiland Monitor 02 US.
