    What would YOU do with (guilt free) $15,000?

    I'm financially stable and have no real concerns for the future, I have been told if I go back to University will be given £10,000 as a reward along with all the usual bumpf.   I'm a single man who's too 'self involved' (however you wish to put it) to put this kind of money towards a charity...

    SOMEONE HELP ME FIND/REMEMBER THIS SONG (very vague)

    Deep soothing male voice... *da da dum da dum da dummm* - "something on/to the ground" - (I realise useless) -stumble on the ground, crumble to the ground? I think it's in a film... While i realise the chances of the song being found are very minimal i like the sound of a soothing low male...

    Headphones dictating your tastes?

    This is just a personal grip I have, moving from the downstairs 'serious/fun listening area' to the 'laidback' bedroom cans. While i have submitted to the contrasting phones ideal, I can't stand it... I think most people (me included) simply go through phases of listening to certain headphones...

    Circumaural, closed, MIDRANGE

    While i love the sound of my RS1's i still can't get over the comfort and them falling off my head etc at home be that 'headbanging' or simply getting up too fast. What i'm looking for is the ESW10 of closed circumaural headphones... Unfortunately haven't exactly got 'normal shaped' ears...

    Looking for places in the UK (midlands particularly)? Sick of not being able to test (proper) Hi-Fi headphones... If you're interested in Audio Technica or just a great shop LOOK HERE!

    Hey everyone, Basically a Hi-Fi shop has opened in my town, the first of it's kind around this area really. I live in Daventry, Northamptonshire. I find the major problem with this hobby is blindly buying biased on reviews online and well... Just hoping for the best. I mean even if you...

    Custom IEMs in the UK

    Well, i've reached one of those defining moments in money spending where i have to hold back from becoming a fully fledged upgradaholic for my own sake...  I'm selling all my headphones as i'm now in a position where i can listen to my sound system at will.   Unfortunately I have realised...

    Electrical help i'm sure someone will enjoy educating me on.

    So, i've bought some modded Grado 325is. Basically they've been modified so that each driver has its' own separate (detachable) cable.   Does this mean i'd just need mono cables? Do i not need to check the polarity of the sockets if i were to have some cable made and if so how would I? I've...

    How much will a Y-splitter affect sound quality?

    I have just bought some modded Grado 325i's and they're individually cabled... A cable was supplied and is perfect most of but not all of the time.   I have some Van Damme 3.5 jack to jack cables at home and was wondering what that'd be like hooked up to to a Y splitter? I can't find any...

    Someone?! male 3.5mm to duel male 3.5mm?

    Just got some modded Grado 325i's and they require a 3.5mm jack for each headphone then obviously need to plug into my amp.   Just a question of where on earth can i get a 3.5mm to duel 3.5's?! I'm guessing the person i bought them off has made is own as one is supplied... I have asked but am...
