Reply to review by 'BIgsteviet' on item 'Chord Electronics Mojo'
Hi, just waiting for mine to arrive. Apologies if this is not the right place to ask a question, but when I searched, all I found were a ton of ads. Can you leave a 3.5mm to RCA cable in one out as part of a desktop speaker setup (AS500), with the other out for headphones? (HiFi Man Sundara)...- BIgsteviet

Review by 'BIgsteviet' on item 'Takstar Pro 80'
How can there not be a review for these budget gems, when I've found so many people recommending them on here? Let's rectify that... (This is basically a copy and paste from my comment in the Takstar thread on here - mods, please delete if not appropriate?) So after a ton of online...- BIgsteviet

Designacable AKG 271 Replacement Headphone Cable - Van Damme - First Impressions
Yeah, I know what you mean about Heath Robinson - it was just a budget idea. Well, you could try the same guys for a black cable - if you only need to change for colour, there's certainly no loss of performance I can hear and it's well made. Thicker and more robust, too. They weren't 701s -... -

You could always put heat shrink around the cable? -
Designacable AKG 271 Replacement Headphone Cable - Van Damme - First Impressions
TBH, no real difference at all. It's a well-made item and if you need a replacement cable, I would recommend it. As an upgrade? Nope. Not in this house. YMMV. I've now moved onto new phones, so if you want an orange one, it's yours for a tenner +P&P. (Mods - please delete this... -
Reply to review by 'bigsteviet' on item 'Epiphany Acoustics EHP-O2Di'
Well, I promised an update and one month on, I have had zero problems with this unit. (In fact, it has even removed a problem with USB out from my iMac, previously using a Lindy DAC that would refuse to switch between A+ and Spotify output. Now, it just works how you imagine it should. Bonus.)...- BIgsteviet

Yep, imho the bass becomes both more controlled and more extended over time. This is based only upon my own ears...- BIgsteviet

Review by 'BIgsteviet' on item 'Epiphany Acoustics EHP-O2Di'
A lot of love seems to go to JDS Labs in America and I couldn't see a review for this particular version of the Objective 2 offering from Britain's Epiphany Acoustics, so I thought I'd add one. I hope that's OK. Admin/mods - if you want to roll this up with one of the other O2 listings, that's...- BIgsteviet

So after a ton of online research on account of the fact that I'm on a strictly budget-sized budget, I took a risk and ordered a pair of Pro80s. Why was it a risk? Because frankly, how can a pair of £34 headphones be any good? How could they be better than my 'much' (to me) more expensive AKG...- BIgsteviet

help me pick gaming headset
*This* I play a lot of games and have yet to hear a gaming headset that sounded much better than a pair of yoghurt pots. OK, I exaggerate, but you get the idea... Get a decent set of cans you can use for anything, add a mic when you want to game - sorted :) PS: Mind you, that said -...- BIgsteviet
