Hi All, A friend of mine is looking to get some new headphones. He's not after anything particularly fancy, but is after the best he can get for what he's after. The source is a 1st gen iPod Nano, he won't be using any headphone amp. He's looking torwards a portable headphone which...

Hi All, It's been a while since I've been on these forums so I'm a little ouch of touch! I've found myself with a new car which has an aux in for the likes of an iPod, etc. Great! So what I'm looking for is the best way to get some sound out of my iPod into my car. The primary iPod I...

Hi Folks, Got myself some E500's but I'm having trouble getting consistant and comfortable seals when inserting these IEM's. I think the stem is pushing against one side of my ear canal and hence it's making my ears sore, and presumably I'm not getting the best out of the cans if I don't...

Hi Folks, I've seen a few mixed release dates for these earphones. I've pre-ordered them with Todd and searching on the net hasn't really got me any closer to when Shure are releasing these. Is there any latest/confirmed estimate? Cheers!

Hi All, I've just placed an order for the Eastsound CD-E5 and I'm very eager to also put my wallet to good use on the Earmax Anniversary Edition (even though I just got my Corda ARIA!). Does anybody have experience on how the synergy is between these two systems? I also have a little query...

Hi folks, I've not been keeping up with the competition lately with regards to portal audio players. I previously (and still currently) own a 4G iPod, since then I know apple have released the 5G iPod. What are the current big contenders in the market? All I'm really after is the best...

Hi folks, Recently I've become very interested in purchasing a DAC. I currently use an E-MU 1212m with analogue out (terrible ic's though I believe) to my Corda ARIA amp's analogue in. The headphones that I use does very. I currently own the Headphones listed in my signature but generally I'm...

I think it's time to get it out again. I suspect there have been many driver releases since my first attempts back in 06/2004, and my ears are getting sick of listening to music from my Audgy 2. If you're interested in all the adventures I had with my last attempts check out...

So, I decided to give them a go. After only owning the headphones in my signature for a long time, I decided to get a pair of Grado's. I've always been interested to hear the Grado sound, and my pocket has been burning lately. Strangely though, I went for a pair of SR325i's - in hindsight I'm...

Hi folks, I stayed away from the forums for a while, because you know what happens, the more you read, the more you spend - I had to save my wallet for a while. But now I've foolishly started reading again, and now I want more . This is my current setup... Audigy 2 / E-MU 1212m > Corda...

Hi there, I'm a great lover of many types of music, and for the most I know what I like and what artist has it, however, when it comes to classical I'm a bit amiss, but it's possibly my most favourite music type. The kind of music I like, I can't name, but I can give you examples of a few...

There's a little bit of a story with this, so I'll fill you in on that first. After some problems with some speakers, I ended up exchanging for a Dual Lasered (one for DVD one for CD) Marantz DV4300 DVD player as it was supposedly quite good for audio CD's, and this meant it could be used in...

I'm in a bit of a sticky situation here. I recently bought a new Denon AVR-1905 amp and some Mission V61 speakers (I got these for £150 but they seem to retail at around £300). At the moment, the feeling that I'm getting from these speakers is that unless they are bi-wired the bass seems to...

What was your biggest waiver from your 'budget'? I'm sure we've all had one, here is a tale of my latest expenditure. I was limiting myself to 200 pounds for a new hi-fi setup. Thinking of some modest Mission M71I's, and a Cambridge Audio AMP. After shopping around for the day, I've ended...

Currently I have a satisfactory (mostly) headphone setup. I'm looking to get a decent speaker setup now. Right now I have a Toshiba TLP-T60M projector in my bedroom (where my setup is based) and I was considering getting a 5.1 setup on the go, or at least the beginnings of one. I was...

Hi folks, I've just got my new 40gig 4G iPod, all okay so far - apart from charging. Straight away I've hooked the firewire connection to the cradle, the ipod to the cradle and the firewire to the PC. Everything is fine, done all the updates etc etc. However - the charging just seems to...

Hi there folks, I'm going to be traveling quite a bit soon and I'm spending WAY too much time at work recently, so I'm looking for a portable player. I've been looking into the iPod, Rio Carbon and the Creative Zen Micro. This will most likely be used with some Hd-25's (non sp vs) and...

A friend of mine at the moment is looking for some advise. He's looking to spend approx £50/60 ($100), and he's needing portable headphones. He's got a bit of the fetish for those headphones that wrap around the back of your head. I've not really seen many good pairs of those types of...

Okay, I've been having endless amounts of problems with getting my EMU to run with the Audigy 2 on my computer, but needless to say, I tried pretty much everything. It seems, that the problem boils down to a file called 'ctaud2k.sys' which is stored in the 'windows\system32\drivers'...

Got my new 1212m today and got excited about installing it. Install it and it appears as an audigy two. There is no option to 'cancel' the hardware detection as stated in the manual. I even started up in safe mode. Don't know what to do now, E-Mu support is closed this entire weekend so...

Hi there! I've been looking around and it seems the general consenus that the Foodbar2k player is the best player around. At the moment I only have an Audigy 2 soundcard so I'm wondering how to get the best out of foobar for this. Just wondering what plugins are required, where to get...

Hiya folks! Just recently I purchased a Corda HA-I MKII amp for myself from Meier audio & have been very pleased with the results. I also bought some Audio-Technica ATH-A900's to compliment my Sennheiser HD-600's in my headphone collection. Now, currently the source of my music is (don't...

Hi there, At the moment I have; Corda HA-1 MKII, Sennheiser HD-600 & ATH-900's. Now, I'm running it from my PC at the moment through an Audigy 2 (which I know is majorily hated. But, I also own a Sony D-NE1 portable CD walkman. I was wondering. Would I be better of running the AMP...

Don't all get excited now, my setup is nothing impressive. I'm pretty new to the audiophile scene, but I have the ears for it! Had an audiogram for work the other day which didn't believe me when I could hear the frequencies the system was putting out which normal folks wouldn't be able to...

Hi folks. At the moment, I own a pair of HD600's, and have done for quite some time. This is the setup I have at the moment. The source of all my music tends to come from my computer, which has an internal audigy 2 card (boo I hear you all say). I then have the output from the soundcard...
