Another +1 for SoX here, cheers!

The platform the turntable stands on has a large impact on sound which is why people spend stupid money on isolation platforms, and in my experience chipboard is not a good platform, for me it cheapens the sound (for want of a better explanation, i think it kills the transients). A cheap way...

Hi all. A couple of weeks ago i was lucky enough to listen to three sets of Kabeer's orthodynamic headphones, Yamaha HP-3 and YH-1000, and Aiwa HP-500. These are the first orthos i've ever heard and as suggested i'd like to give you my impressions of them. I only listened to them for a...

I think 3 things. 1 is as people have mentioned they could need burn in, if they're brand new the cones will probably be stiff and not moving freely, which would account for the lifelessness/small soundstage etc 2 - After having Grado SR80s and Sennheiser IE8s as my references i put on a set...
