Hi guys,   So my IE800s went through the washing machine ... gutted. They sound like **** now as expected. Tried rinsing with distilled water and drying, but I think they are dead.   Anything else I can try or just forget it and cry in a corner?

Hi all,   I'm looking for something to take inputs from my TV, some music equipment (RCA) and some other bits and bobs and then provide outputs to my headphone amp's input and some monitors. Ideally it would also be a bluetooth/network receiver, and maybe HDMI too. I'm hoping I can connect all...

Hello all. Got some BX6 carbons recently so I thought i'd post a little review from a total speaker noob who can't express what he hears ...   Good, flat response as expected from monitors Having no sub, sounds very bright, a bit too crisp and attacky in the highs. The sound isn't unbalanced...

Hi all. I spent some time with some BX5a a while back and decided to buy a pair of powered desktop speakers/monitors. The initial choice was the BX8 D2 as these seem highly regarded and well reviewed.   The BX8 carbons have just come out and can't find much information around if the new amp...

Hi all,   I have some HD650s, just over 1 years old hooked into a WA3.  Recently I have had an FR problem in the right channel. Characteristics are inaccurate bass frequency reproduction (sounds a touch higher than it should, sine-y, reverberant), almost tickling resonance at times. Highs...

Any happy customers of Custom-Cable.co.uk in the UK? Thinking of spending some (not insignificant amount of) dosh, want to know if they are any good as Google came up a bit dry.   I trust the opinions from here over anything else so ...   Thanks in advance ...

Hi All,   I have a WA3, and it has started making a high pitch whine. It is audible without the headphones on, very very high frequency (if I wasn't in my 20s I wouldn't hear it). A similar frequency noise happens in the headphones too, on and off.   Changed the tubes, still the same. At...

Hi all,   My wonderful girlfriend purchased me a stunning NOS TS JAN-CTL-5998 example for my WA3.   ... but the plastic/Bakelite part is free to move slightly (in a rotating motion) relative to the glass. The vacuum is still intact, but this movement you can feel stressing the linkage to...

Hello all,   The other day I ordered an OFC "upgrade" cable for my IE8s off eBay, from seller Sunricky. They were about £25, and I wasn't expecting anything other than an interesting experiment.   First: The Cable The cable itself is horrible. Very metallic/stiff and coily. The only...

Hi all,   Thinking of building some custom cable for my HD650 and IE8. Looking for good wire and termination suppliers, Require the 2-pin connectors for the Senns and Silver/OFC cable core and insulation. Also might make a good starting point thread for other people wanting to try, but...

Hi all, Out of curiosity, are there any UK suppliers of miniMAX kits similar to those on Beezar? Don't really want to source all the components at this point (time). After searching around the net, these glorious forums and other sources ... I think I have settled on the miniMAX as my first...

Hi All! After painfully admitting i'm not affording a Little Dot setup any time soon ... i'm thinking about going DIY. The Millett page here got my juices going ... http://www.diyforums.org/millett.html and I like the idea of crafting a custom enclosure for it. I have no idea of prices, and...

Firstly, Hello everyone! I am new to high end audio, but think I am catching the bug! So apologies for any misuse of terms or lack of explaining myself. After having loved my HD515s for many hours, the limitations became clear, and I am now the proud owner of a set of HD650 cans. Massively...
