    Denon AH-C751 need repair but where in UK?

    It would appear that the wire within the right ear piece of my daughter's Denon 751 headphones has comes loose. If it is wiggled about it starts to work. Does anyone know where I can get it fixed in the UK and approximate cost?   Thanks

    Where is the Earmax?

    Not posted in a loooooooong time, but just to let you all know..... I still have my Earmax Anniversay Edition, Grado RS1's and Naim CD2 . The little amp remains a gem and has proven to be supremely reliable and engaging.

    Solid state amp for HD650

    Didn't sit and read all the posts as there was so many. I'm sorry if I am duplicating anything that has already been said. I note you live in the UK. Have you tried the Graham Slee amp with optional external power supply? Sennheiser were using this amp last year as a reference amp to...

    EarMax and HD650

    As I recollect the original earmax (Flinstone Model) was designed specifically with the HD580's in mind so the updated basic model should drive the 650's quite nicely. I'd still look to go for at least the pro if you can afford it though.

    Earmax Pro over MF and Lehmann

    Marco2 You won't regret getting the silver edition. It has a larger power supply like the anniversary edition. This helps prevent clipping and gives a greater degree of control and authority. As you can see from my signature I use the anniversary with RS1's and find the combination a very...

    What is the sexiest headphone amp?

    Aside from the obvious beauty of the Orpheous, which headphone amp is considered the most sexy. It must be able to produce a orgasmical sonic performance as well to qualify. Pics would be good

    Earmax Pro or Silver ?

    My set up is as below. I would suggest you connect your source direct to the Earmax (Get the silver if you can afford it. It's worth the extra cash) The route to hifi heaven is by keeping the signal paths short as this reduces degradation. Result more detail and better focus

    FAST, quiet tube amp?

    The earmax amp Dr Juggles refers to was quite slow in its presentation of music. I should know, he bought it from me. The amp he purchased was the original flinstone model. Some development has taken place since those original models came to the market and models such as the silver and...

    Earmax Pro vs. Earmax Silver Edition

    I think it's worth considering the type of music you prefer to listen to. A sluggish amp with limited dynamics is never going to cut the mustard with certain genres and vice versa.

    Which tube amp for grados?

    If you live in the USA and not 'OLD BLIGHTY', the UK. Then you will have plenty of choice. Unfortunately I'm stuck here in Blighty with all our ancient monuments, buildings and the royal family, but very few headphone amps! I'm using the Earmax A.E. with my RS1's and I am quite happy with...

    Make sure you post when it arrives (hopefully it will) and also post some pics. If it all works out for you there's going to be some really sorry head fiers. They are going to be kicking themselves for missing out!

    The inevitable has finally happened to me

    Hasn't happened to me yet and I hope it never does. Wonder if a doctor would have been able to identify what it was if you had required their assistance?

    Poll: How empy is your wallet?

    My set up including the interconnect has set me back £3605-00 sterling. I think that equates to about $6100-00 U.S. Not a lot when you compare it to the cost of an Orpheous!

    What's a good EQ to buy?

    Why do you want an EQ? (Sorry, I'm not trying to sound inpolite) If you have a good set up it will produce the music true to its original recording. Isn't that our objective, to replicate the original as best we can? As far as I can see using an EQ is more likely to take us away from that...

    Any London based Ray Samuels/Singlepower owners?

    Doctorjuggles, ROBN is a regular poster on the forum and seems quite well informed. Do I detect the Earmax has gone from your signature? Sold already? LOL

    Earmax vs. Earmax Pro

    As I recall the original standard earmax was designed to work with the HD580's. This would suggest it should also work well with the HD600's. If you can get it cheap enough and it doesn't work for you, just sell it on for what you paid. Shouldn't be too difficult.

    Im going on a diet

    Eat little and often. This will increase your metabolism. Make breakfast your main meal. Avoid fats, particularly saturated fat. Reduce your carb intake whilst you are on the diet. Suplement vitamins if you think you may be missing some in your diet. You can expect to loose around...
