yo,   I had looked at the NFB-12 along with the NFB-5 but was concerned about the inputs on the NFB-12? I 'll look into the prices if it's on promo, not sure whether it's cheaper in the UK.   You reckon the NFB-12 over the Matrix Cube?    How would you suggest I get my iphone into an...

I do have a laptop... but I don't want to have to use it because its pants, basically!    I think i might order the Matrix cube and hd 650's and listen to them via the headphone out or Rca audio out cable/send station pocket dock/something similar etc.    If I find I need to get a...

Hi Chris,   Typical apple issues here :) Basically if i want to use my iphone I'm gonna have to cough up for a digital transport either the hrt istreamer [£185] or something like the onkyo ND-s1 [£130] [that wadia 171i dock is £600!!!!! on amazon.]   The problem with the istreamer is...

confusing it is:)   I had looked into the streamer, but some reviews seemed to imply it wasn't that great, I will do more research on this today.   I read Gwarmi's E9 review, very good it was to.   I'm pretty sure I will end up getting either the audio gd NFB-5 or the Matrix...

Sorry to trouble you all again, but something has just dawned on me... as I'll be using my Iphone as my source how do I connect this to my new amp etc.   I hadn't even considered this in the slightest and now after spending many hours looking at various threads on amps/dacs etc. it would...

Ok if I for go for the HD 650's which amp is best for my Budget of £300??   I have shortlisted the Audio-GD NFB-5 or the Matrix Mini-I I have looked at the nuforce ones but they start to get out my budget.*edit* are these amps fine with my iphone/ipod as a source?*   Other head phone...

Hi Mr J,   Cheers for your advice.   I kinda had a change of direction yesterday as I saw the  Audio-technica ATH W1000x on amaozon for £379.00 [now at £399] [*edit pah now at £566, should of grabbed them when i had the chance*] and got extremely tempted by them, They look awesome and...

  The Audio-Technica ATH W1000x have just popped up on my radar [saw them for £379] are these worth considering?    After having talked myself into the HD 650's I'm now convinced I need to spend ridiculous amounts on an amp:) [So I'm currently weighing up better headphones/cheaper amp or...

Hi Mr J,   I would love to be able to try some headphones on and test them out etc. There just isn't any where locally that I can do this, I know for a purchase like this I should try and make the effort.   I'm pretty sure I'm going with the HD650's and just need to decide on an amp/DAC...

Portability isn't a priority, do you have any recommendations? I have been looking at DAC/AMPs but I'm not really sure what im looking. I did look at the Matrix Mini-I [as MalVeauX recommended the Matrix cube] I also looked at the NuForce ones but the prices start to creep past my self imposed...

Sooooo after much umming and arring I believe I have come to a decision.   I'm going to go for the HD 650's, The only question left is...   Should I go for the E7/E9 combo or something else?

Cheers MuppetFace.   I have been doing some more research into the Q701 there are currently on amazon for £299 is that a good price? I am leaning towards getting these [to go green or not?:)] *edit.just checked some more prices, quite a bit cheaper from the U.S. that old problem again :)...

  Ok, so after a fairly large amount of research I have come to this short list of the usual suspects.   Senn HD650 £299.00 appears to be the boring sensible option, a lot of people seem to have these though, they look 'ok' they will probably be comfortable and the sound will probably be...

Damn, since writing my last post, popping down town and getting back home they have gone back up to £249 :(

Yo,    Im thinking of either the d2000s or hd650 aswell. The d2000s are £197 on amazon ATM. That's a good price right?

Cheers all,    I can't go to sleep at night without images of headphones popping into my head, I had thought my search may be narrowing but it would appear not.   In regards to amps, I haven't done quite as much research as the headphones, I don't want them disturbing my sleep ATM. Still...

  Quote: Cheers Armaegis,    I have been doing lots of research and am leaning towards the HD650 or grado sr325i with e7/e9 combo, possibly.    Still it's early days and theres lots more to read up on etc.I'll look into that amp and the beyers.   Thanks again.

Thank you everyone, man my head is spinning now, I've been reading up on all of these suggestions.   My head is telling me to go for something like the senn HD650 as it seems so middle of the road [kinda] boring but practical and would probably sound fine with any music that I listen to.  ...

Hi Gwarmi,   cheers I'll have a look into that amp, I had been looking at the Fiio e7/e9 combo as I ll probably be listening to music in one place most of the time, in the house anyway:) [but didn't think the amp was necessary for my current portable headphones]   No idea on open or...

Ha, sorry hadn't seen this thread... apologies.   I will read all and be back shortly :)   currently listening to music via Iphone4 and TMA-1s   Looking to get myself deeper into this audiophile world [but not too deep :)] and would like an amp and head phones for home listening.  ...

Hi all,   I'm a fairly recent lurker and wanted to say 'hello' before I asked you for some advice.   I've been tittering on the edge of wanting to get some 'good' headphones for a long time. A few years ago I purchased some creative aurvana live headphones to listen via my iphone [this...
