Hi   I am thinking of selling on my Lyr, although it is a fantastic amp, I find having to deal with tubes an annoyance. Would it be a bad idea if I kept the bifrost and moved to the V200?   Tim

I'm sure this question has been asked before but...    In a typical set up you have two volume controls i.e, one for the amp, one for the PC.    what's the best way to have them set?   Should you have PC volume set to 100% amp set to 30%? Amp set to ~80% PC ~20%? Both at 50:50? (Same...

Hi    Just bought a pair of HD650 with the old drivers -- should I be worried?   Some people say they have a more veiled sound?   I'll be running them out of a Lyr, so amping shouldn't be too much of a problem.   Cheers

Hi    At present, I am running the he-400 off the audioengine D1 amp/dac.   I have a few quick  questions:   1. Is the Lyr worth the extra money over the Asgard, i've heard good things about both? Are tube amps difficult to run/dangerous etc?   2. Lastly, assume I purchase the...

Hi   I am looking to buy a head amp and dac for about £150 (flexible) to power my newly ordered he-400s. It will be plugged into my laptop via USB.   If possible i'd also like to be able to use the amp with my hifi speaker separates system.    Any suggestions? :)

Hey,    I am upgrading from a pair of audio-technica ad700s, which I love, but it's time for an upgrade. I owned a pair of Denon D2Ks and I didn't really like them compared to the ad700s, everything sounded a bit muffled and recessed.    I'm not really a bass head, prefer mid range...

Hey    I bought the audio technica ad700s back in 2009. I then bought the denon d2000s about 6 months later.    My D2ks broke, so I went back to using the ad700s, and in all honesty I enjoyed listening to the ad700s far more. The Denon's always sounded a bit congested to me.    I...

Hey. I've had a pair of HD485's for about 1.25 years, and am looking to upgrade. I have been looking at the ad700s, but have been warned about their lack of bass, however I do not see this as much of an issue as I feel the 485s bass often clouds the upper frequencies, how much am I going...

What are the Best headphones for £100 on the market right now? I listen to every genre of music so that makes it kind of hard to choose. I will be running them from my Audigy 2.

I already have an Audigy 2, and was wondering what would be a good DAC to use with both my headphones and my hifi setup for around £40-60? -Tim

Over the last couple of months I have been researching a lot of headphones, as I intend to replace my rather boomy HD485's. I decided not to go with any headphone that requires any great amount of amplification, as I am reluctant to upgrade my audigy. I ruled out the AKG 601 and the HD 600...

Uh, anyone? These seem to be a pretty cool pair of cans for the price, yet they get little love around here. Anyone got an opinion on them?

where can I buy the Denon D2000 brand new in the UK for <£180? anywhere else apart from ebay? Tim

I know that grado's are known as very good headphones for rock.... but how do they do on classical and jazz, or slightly slower peices such as female vocals?

What's the difference beetween these two cans? On amazon they only have £10 difference...is it worth going for the 650 over the 600? When I buy either they will both be unamped for at least 6 months... Tim

How effective would a pair of HD 650s be off an audigy 2 ZS? what would I loose from the SQ?

How much should I expect to pay for some Denon D2000's in the UK? i don't mind if they are 2nd hand. Tim

which should I go for? I listen to a lot of smooth vocal jazz type music, (i.e Jamie Cullum), a fair bit of electronica ( moby, pendulum etc ) and a fair bit of rock, modern and classical. I am looking for a clean sounding headphone with good bass yet good clean highs. i will be using...

Is it worth upgrading my sen. 485's to 595s? I do not have a headphone amp.

hello! I would like to upgrade my sennheiser 485's to something a little more detailed, with less of a muddy bottom end. i feel that the bass is overshadowing the higher end with these 'phones. I will not be using a headphone amp (in the near future), just my breakout box on my Audigy 2...
