The EX71s sounded very muddy overall to me and were in the end fairly unlistenable. The CX300s sound much brighter and crisper, especially with the classical music I mostly listen to. Not to mention louder - I now don't need to go above AVLS levels on with Sony MDs etc. To be honest they (the...

Biased opinion, but The Doors wins it for me...

Good luck with changing the name, it's probably best if you don't like it anymore. Presumably a more 'neutral' one might be the best thing. Mine is boring, but it is at least recognisably me...

Morris On / Ashley Hutchings etc. instrumental version: http://www.grunthos.demon.co.uk/morris_on.htm

Don't worry about it - of course there will be a small theoretical amount of degradation due to extra resistances etc. Any extra link in the audio chain will do so, but really it will be negligible and if you can't tell the difference already you wouldn't be asking this...

£1million, please. I can fly whenever I want (within reason)...

McDoh's fries are usually limp and soggy, and really suitable only in an emergency. Burger King's are the best of the lot, not that there's much choice here. Crisp and fluffy, they even make a reasonable 'chip butty'...

Always speakers for me, unless the situation requires headphones, eg. for portable use, not to disturb neighbours etc. Headphones can start feeling very uncomfortable after half an hour or so, though they can be indispensible for close-up or some critictal listening purposes...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope you get better soon.

Bit of a waste of time/effort/money overall. Xin Supermini just died and I've no plans to replace it. Was only used it about 10 times in 2 years with NH900. Latter works fine with Grados and other headphones, so no need to bother with the hassle any more.

Two audio separates systems, not to mention the PC setup. One minidisc based, the other CD-R based. Sometimes I even hook them up together...

Crisps = Potato chips. More specifically hula hoops.

No, I think it meant the biker killed him, hence the fact he's now at the Pearly gates...

Possibly Hi-Fi Surplus Supplies, just off the corner of Great Russell Street if I recall rightly. Their prices are generally lower than other shops on TCR, and I've managed to knock them down a few times, eg. got my 30GB HD5 for £180 last year, and picked up some nice Hi-MD bargains there too.

Happy Birthday, Herr Mozart. Thanks for the music :-)

I'd leave them burning in with FM static (at 'normal' listening volume') overnight for 3 or 4 nights, and use them as usual thereafter.

I havent bothered taking any plunges and I've left my HD580's and all other headphones well alone, as the 'manufacturer' intended...
