Hydraulic Reference TT and SME 3009
Very cool. Thank you for the tips and thank you again Nightowl. As I mentioned I have a pair of Quad radio units (an FM3 and an AM3) and the Hydraulic Reference which were the three I was intending on using as my source. I also got offered a tape machine but thought I would have no use for...- NMB

Hydraulic Reference TT and SME 3009
Thank you so so much for all of that advice. Since putting up my post I have purchased a new drive belt (since it did not come with one) and the RCA conversation kit for the arm from a german site (Analog Tube Audio | Home) as the price I have been quoted by SME for the kit was an awful lot...- NMB

Hydraulic Reference TT and SME 3009
Hello all, I have never posted in this part of headfi but, I have recently been given some vintage hardware to look after and restore. This consisted of a Michell Hydraulic Reference turntable with SME 3009 pickup arm, a Quad 303 and Quad 33. I am not sure if anyone is familiar with any of...- NMB

Where can I get Custom IEM earmoulds in the UK?
Audio Relief - Understanding Tinnitus They are just round the back of Liverpool Street. I know a few people who have used them for mould work and have spoken very highly of them. I have only purchased ER20's from them but the service was faultless. Nicholas- NMB

Anyone used EX71s and Shures?
I used medium tips on the EX70/71's and the triple flange tips on the Shure's when I had them. Nicholas- NMB

256 VBR AAC vs 320 mp3 vs 256 vbr mp3
I've just realized after ripping 2200 CD's from my 3000 CD collection that 128 kbps AAC is not of a high enough quality. I've now upped it to 256 AAC but I am sure some of you can sympathy with what I am feeling now. Nicholas- NMB

Bang & Olufsen U70: K100 killer!
I've seen them regularly go for £70 ($140). Personally I'm not very keen on the U70, even though I am a big B&O fan. Nicholas- NMB

ideal IEM for mixing/mastering music?
I hate to recommend the same IEM's on every thread I reply to at the moment but Etymotics. ER6i's will fit your budget and I know plenty of producers and sessions artists who use them in the studio. If you can justify it go for some custom moulds as well. Nicholas- NMB

Looking for the ideal IEM for classical music
I would recommended the Ety's for the simple reason that, from my experience, their clinical, flat sound and accuracy lends itself to classical music. Nicholas- NMB

Sennheiser HD25's
I have been doing a bit of research on these and just had a couple of questions. Firstly how many different models are there? I under stand the whole SP and not SP thing, but on the HD25-1 I have seen a lot of models with different impedances, ranging from 60 ohms to 300 ohms. Also how have...- NMB

Recommendations on DJ Headphones
I would recommend HD25's. I got a pair recently for DJing and general use and I love them. They are an excellent all round performer and very durable. Nicholas- NMB

K701 or HD25 for DJing?
A friend just suggested DT100's actually. Do the DT100/150's pivot at the cup? If not, how comfortably do they sit off of the ear. I've seen a pair of 150's for about the same price as HD25's in the UK so it's definitely an option. Thank you for the suggestion. Nicholas- NMB

K701 or HD25 for DJing?
I'm a bit concerned with going back to Sony as I have had two pairs of V500 and both have broken. I was curious as to whether the HD25's would be a bit more durable. Sorry for including the K701. They are definitely not for the task in question. I should have done a bit more research. Nicholas- NMB
