Woo Audio WA22 vs Eddie Current Balancing Act?
My current setup uses all SS gear but I'm keen to explore what tubes can do for my listening experience! I've got a balanced source (Audio-GD Ref 7.1) and all my headphones are equipped with 4 pin balanced plugs so I'm keen to go for a fully balanced headphone amp. Having done...- tashlin

Where can I get my headphone cables re-terminated please? (UK)
I am about to invest in a balanced set-up and would like to get my various aftermarket headphone cables re-terminated with 4-pin balanced plugs. I'm no expert with a soldering iron though so I was wondering if anyone could recommend somewhere in the UK (ideally London but doesn't really...- tashlin

HD650 mod question
I love my HD650s for listening to bright recordings when my more aggressive headphones sound too harsh/ssssibilant and become fatiguing very quickly. However, the 650s were actually just a little too smooth for my tastes (no doubt the "infamous veil"!) and so I started to consider a couple of...- tashlin

OPA627 - where to buy?
I'd like to upgrade the op amp module in my EF-5 to an OPA627 (vs the stock OPA275). Does anyone know where I can buy one? (I live in the UK) I'm pretty new to op amp rolling and searching on google wasn't much help!- tashlin

Cable upgrade for HE-5LE?
I'm keen to upgrade the stock cable for something that would smooth out the top end of my HE-5LEs (currently amped single ended out of an EF-5). Any suggestions please? I'm based in the UK so would prefer to buy something here if possible (much easier to sort out any problems if they...- tashlin

Help please - HE-5LE sibilance?
I recently bought a pair of HiFiman HE-5LE headphones, but even after 300 hours of burn-in/use, I'm still experiencing issues with quite spiky treble and ssssssibilance. A small tweak downwards of the EQ settings at 4k and 8k (in MediaMonkey) seems to sort things out but having read in various...- tashlin

Which custom IEMs?
I'm considering taking the plunge on a set of custom IEMs. I have (almost) settled on ACS as I like the all silicone earpieces (and I live in the UK). However, not sure whether to go for the T2 (dual driver) or T1 (triple driver - updated in 2010). Can anyone who has listened to both...- tashlin

Advice please - headphone match for Audio-GD DAC 19 DSP and C2 amp?
I recently bought the Audio GD DAC 19 DSP and C2 amp combo (connected using ACSS). I love the neutral, detailed sound but am having problems with sibilance on my existing headphones - a pair of Hifiman HE5-LE, which I usually use with my EF-5 amplifier and a HRT MS2+ DAC running out of my PC...- tashlin

Suggestions please - cable replacement/upgrade for B&W P5 headphones
I'm getting fed up with hearing interference from fellow commuters' mobile phone signals/blackberries...etc on my B&W P5s! Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could buy a better shielded, high quality replacement cable? I don't use the remote control/microphone so a cable without...- tashlin
