Hi,     Long time no post :D    I hope everyone's doing well and listening to great stuff.   I'm still on my mini-disc player with my TTVJ Milletts Hybrid portable amp and HD25ii.    Thing is, I stopped listening to music for some time due to the wobbles.     I mean... my mini-disc...

does anyone here play electric guitar? I play acoustic but need a silent option before I get kicked out of home...always wanted an electric anyway.... Is it possible to hook my Milletts portable amp or Pico slim to some portable guitar pre amp without the big black boom box? If you have a...

Not sure what's going on. With the last update of iTunes, I found the whole lot crashed and now my windows PC seems to block iTunes from downloading. I can download it, but at the last moment, I get the messages shown in the two attachments and then crashes the download. I've disabled...

Not sure where this post belongs - hope I got it right mods! My car's audio system is completely gutted out so I'm restarting from afresh. Here's the plan: Source: Mini-disc player only (I don't want a radio; don't want an iPod or CD either. Maybe a front-loading cassette player would...

A computer question here. I'm looking at a new Mac which comes with either 4GB or 8GB memory, at a cost of around US$60 extra. I use Photoshop (energy intensive) and Dreamweaver, as well as listening to Spotify and surfing, but nothing else like videos. Is it really worth the extra?

It looks monster long doesn't it? Well I'm really happy with my Ultrasone Pro 900s for just about everything - except portable. That's where the Sennheiser HD25 Mark IIs wins hands down, particularly with its tiny 90 degree angled 3.5mm jack plug. With the portable amp, any criticism of its...

I can't believe it. Since I started travelling more and relying more on an iPod or mini-disc to listen to music, I've only been listening to vinyl at home. I've been looking for a vinyl LP ---> digital format means on the go. Firstly, like most of us, I've been looking at a USB vinyl...

Short question - wonder if anyone can PM me a quick answer. Lingling1337 suddenly vanished mid-message! I'm not sure what the forum etiquette is. If it's safe to do so, can anyone let me know his email address? Thanks!

Hey guys, Well after trawling here for amp info for a few months, here I am, realising that I don't have a clue about the new iRiver; iMod; Hi-Fi-Man, Zune or whatever new digital music media there are. For years, one of the things I love about my Sony WM-DC9 walkman is that I can vary...

Numpty of the year award must come here! Well I got a cheap Musical Fidelity X-DAC thinking that this is what I need. I'm planning to transcribe my vinyl LP music to either mini-disc or computer, and somehow I thought I needed this. When I got it, I can only see two digital inputs, and...

Anyone want to play ball and introduce more obscure free MP3 music to Head-Fi.org? Artist legal downloads only please. I'll roll: Sam Phillips: "Don't do anything" Download from here: Amazon.com: Don't Do Anything: Sam Phillips: MP3 Downloads

The TTVJ Milletts portable amp I bought doesn't come with a 240V charging unit so I bought a 240V ---> 110V AC-AC convertor. It's a Sunpower UK Ltd MW2PO45 230V 50Hz to AC110V 45W output. It runs very warm though. Is this a safe option to use with the original 110V charger? The portable...

My Onkyo CD player is broken. It doesn't spin or move any disc when loaded and just registers Track = 0. It just started doing this so I presume the starter motor or something is gone. My old Technics portable discplayer from 1992 is also doing the same, but fires up, spins a bit, then...

This is really a lo-fi post. I came across this whilst looking at a cheapo record player with cd player unit (the Murphy TCD-68 series) and found this one which is miles better Can't find any reviews anywhere but I really dig the retro styling in cherry red plastic It's not going to...

Okay - my Ultrasone 900s have arrived! I'm confused about what's in the box though. Here's what I found inside: 1. Headphones 2. 2x cables both terminated in 6.3mm Neutrik jacks [one coil, one straight] 3. 1x 6.3mm --> 3.5mm jack 4. Spare earpads 5. Travel case 6. CD 7. Instruction...

Anyone here listen to violin music? I've been spinning Myaskovsky's Violin Concerto - for years I only ever had the 1930's David Oistrakh version. You can imagine how thin and lean this one sounds with the top notes being indistinguishable from the bass notes This one I've had for some...

What remastered and original albums have you got that are worth recommending? I had U2s original Joshua Tree album on CD. It sounded thin and compressed with a lot of fuzz in the guitar parts of tracks like 'Where the Streets have no name'. So I bought the vinyl LP. It wasn't any better...

Anyone got a pair of these wooden ones? What's the sound quality like compared to the AD1000 or 2000's? Wonder if I should be looking at other headphones in the price range. I confess I rather like the look of these. Can't tell about the sound since I never get to audition headphones before...

Can anyone offer guidance to cut down 10ft Cardas cable for Sennheiser HD650s to 5ft lengths? I don't need the long length and thought it would be cool to have 2 cables instead and terminate one in a 3.5mm and the other in a 6.3mm jack. Maybe use a hi-viz fluorescent yellow heat shrink jacket on...

Hi there, I just signed up to the forum after finding some interesting info about the Ray Samuels Hornet/Predator portable amps. I use a set of Sennheiser HD25MkIIs with my iPod and love the clarity and accuracy of the sound. The HD580s I had were nothing to shout home about but I guess...
