    One source, two amps

    I’m considering running two headphone amps from one source. Is it going to degrade the signal If I split it?

    Opinions in a decent new DAP

    What's a good portable digital audio player these days to look for in the region of £100-200? I will only use it for work and I use the etymotic hf5 for isolation, but may be willing to upgrade these although I still need isolation. Currently using an old Sansa Fuse. Thanks Richie

    What amp do you use for your Grados?

    Just throwing this one out there - is there any need to replace the Little Dot 1+ (which is modified with another opamp & tubes) with anything else for Grados? I own the ps500e and 325i phones and love the combo but am curious if they would benefit from an upgrade.

    Adding the speedball to the Crack - is it really worth it?

    Is adding the speedball to the Crack really only beneficial when using Sennheiser phones? I ask because i'm using both the HD600 and the dt880 600 ohm phones. I have changed tubes for a nicer pair (to my ears) than the stock ones but I don't seem to get the same level of clarity from the HD600...

    Is a BA driver safer than a Dynamic driver?

    As titled I've been reading a bit about the SPL of IEM's and how the movement of air in a sealed ear canal could possibly damage hearing. This has me a little worried about further using mine. As a balanced armature moves a lot less air than a Dynamic driver, would you think that they are safer?

    Differences between the comply tip range

    Been trying out a few different tips on my Etymotic hf5 iems lately as I fancied a change from the stock triple flange tips. I had a spare pair of comply professional p-100 so I tried these. They sound a lot better than the stock tips preserving both frequency extremes. On that note, I ordered...

    Triple Fi 10 not sounding best from all sources

    Recently got the Triple Fi 10 Pro IEM's which sound great both from my Sansa Fuze mp3 player & a Fiio E10 USB amp, but when plugged into my old Sony MZ-RH1 portable minidisc player or full-size integrated amp, they sound a bit dull!   i know that when I plug a different pair of headphones...

    AKG K601 - Should I Upgrade?

    I've been reading lots of different opinions on the AKG K601's about them being a bit lean in the bass, the specs on these are 12 Hz - 39.500 Hz.   I agree that some music sounds a bit lean, other stuff sounds great, depends on the source material.  Been thinking about an upgrade to either a...

    Just a quickie, opinions on AV amps

    I know many people have said that Marantz include decent headphone outputs on their products, but does this include their A/V amps too?   I was thinking about putting my SR4300 back into service!     Cheers   Richie

    Is it worth buying a dedicated headphone amp over my AV amp?

    At the moment, I am using my dell inspiron laptop connected via USB to spdif converter to the internal DAC on my Marantz SR-4300 AV Receiver. I suppose this sounds decent enough having never heard a dedicated headphone amp, but lately have been thinking if things would sound a lot better through...

    Please can you help with a Linux USB Audio problem?

    Hi there, I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed with a USB to spdif converter to carry the sound to my AV amp.  I keep getting sound dropouts/interruptions all the time.  This is driving me nuts as I tried to find a solution via Google, but have come up with nothing so far.   Am I missing something...

    Trying to decide between AKG or Grado headphones

    I am trying to decide, having narrowed down my choices to either AKG K601/K701 or Grado SR225i/325i headphones.  These will be used between two systems, both PC based:  All FLAC played through Foobar.   The first system, they will be powered by a Media PC > Fubar II USB dac > Audiolab 8000LX...
