    Lunashops cable for HD 58x

    Need to make a quick purchasing decision and looking to change my stock HD58X cable to a 3 metre, silver plated one with XLR 4 pole connectors. These Chinese Lunashops ones seem to be a good deal at around $70 each. Any suggestions for which one to go for appreciated :-)...

    balanced interconnect recommendations up to around $100

    Looking for a good-sounding balanced XLR to XLR lead for my JBL active monitors, because the studio cable I'm using at the moment isn't doing them justice. Budget is around $100 approx. Length can be anywhere from 3 meters to 6 meters.   Any suggestions appreciated, especially for UK based...

    RS-2i one channel cuts out.

    Often goes dead on the left channel, but if I sharply tap my finger over the metal grill, the sound can return, albeit not fully.  Moving the cable where it meets the left cup doesn't make any difference, so isn't a loose cable connection, afaict.    How much is it going to cost to fix?    ...

    Grado 1/4" plug

    I recently bought a cheapish headphone extension cable. Music sounds excellent through it but the plug and socket on either end are not the last word in quality. Anyhow, my RS2i plugged in is a bit loose and this results in crackle when I move around. I assumed it was the fault of the cheap...

    Cans for Berning Micro Zotl?

    I've only tried the amp with a pair of Senn HD-650. With them, I found the sound enjoyable but a little bit bloated at the bottom and veiled at the top. This was not surprising, as I had a similar result with a (long gone) Headamp GS-1. So, I'm basically looking for alternative cans. That...

    More airy and open alternative to Senns for the GS-1

    Hi I'm not getting on well with my 650/GS-1 combo. Specifically, its the 650 'veil' and bloat. Obviously, this is a purely personal thing because many don't find this an issue at all. Have tried removing the foam covering the drivers and loosening the cans to no avail, also after-market...

    Sen 650 - Headamp GS-1- Compatible?

    Hi I'm finding the combination of Headamp GS-1 and Sen 650 to be less than satisfactory. In comparison to my very cheap Sen HD 212 pro, the 650 appears almost narrow bandwidth and a little muffled-sounding. True, there is greater overall detail and spaciousness in the midrange but the lack...

    Best Digital out connection

    Apologies if this has been discussed before- have tried doing a search. Wondering what the best digital out connection between AD/DA Converter and computer soundcard is. Distance is about 2.5 metres (8 feet approx). The converter has three digital outputs- a combo ADAT/ Optical Toslink...

    Using a 'flat' pre-amp (without RIAA) to record vinyl?

    Hi http://www.enhancedaudio.com/newway.htm#riaa The above company is talking the talk about recording vinyl using a special phono pre-amp that doesnt apply RIAA equalisation and then later on using (their) software to apply a 'perfect' RIAA curve. So, wondering if anyone has tried doing it...

    High quality vinyl recording confusion!

    Hi everyone! Been sifting through previous posts and found some really helpful information but not exactly what I'm looking for. I am fortunate enough to own a fairly expensive high-end vinyl set up (SME 4 tonearm, Lyra Argo MC cartridge and good high mass record deck) and really want to get...

    MPX3 and MPX3 Slam.

    What is the difference between these 2 models? Is the 'Slam' a version of the MPX3 by Singlepower or by some other third party?

    PCDP versus Laptop drive.

    What is the consensus here about these 2 forms of sources? Which will sound best connected to a good head amp to be used at home? A quality PCDP, such a Sony, or a laptop drive, such as those in an i-book or powerbook. Or is there no particular difference?

    Portable CD Player for Gilmore Amp.

    Hello I was wondering if anyone could recommend a nice sounding personal CD player (walkman type) for using with my (soon to arrive) amp? I'm not really worried about price but an essential feature will be a Line Out. Even better, would be a 'RCA phono out' but I don't think any portables...
