    Good, UK based speaker company?

    I've been itching to buy a new pair of speakers, and I want to see what's out there, but at the same time it's important that it's a UK based company. For many reasons, mostly my dislike from ordering from overseas though and the drastic differences in prices. (Not to mention customs here are...

    Musiland 02 US

    I was considering buying one of these little DACs. Originally I was thinking about the audio-gd FUN, but the shipping to the UK is just ridiculous and the sparrow doesn't have RCA outs. So, I had a look on ebay and noticed these little boxes are very cheap and have free shipping.   Now my...

    Looking for more Music. (Strictly female vocals only)

    Generally, I spend more time looking for music to listen to than actually listening to music. I do have a few artists I really enjoy though. Regina Spektor (Totally outstanding, every song is brilliant. At least on the album I have which is called Far. The lyrics in the songs actually have...

    Looking to improve sound quality.

    Hello, I recently got into speakers. Now I'm confident that the speakers I have are fairly decent. OK, my current setup is as follows. I have no idea what I'm doing, so stay with me. Onboard Line out > AUX on the back of my reciever > speakers. I know next to nothing about this...

    How do you tell if your headphones *NEED* an amp?

    Not sure if this would be better in the headphone section or not, but since it may lead to an AMP purchase I figured it would be better suited here. Anyway here is the situation, I currently have a pair of A900s and I had a pair of 595s before them, now in both sets of headphones I had this...

    I've went off headphones a bit.

    Since I sold a pair of HD595s I've been listening through a pair of Philips SBC HP200's and to be honest, they do the job. They don't sound the best, but I can still enjoy music out of them. Anyway, I was saving up for a pair of new headphones, but that plan didn't go well. I bought like 10 CDs...

    RoyalMail is a rip off.

    I just sent a pair of HD595's on a journey to the USA. It cost me £16! I was expecting maybe £10 at most, but £16 woah? Package weighs 1.2kg. Remind me never to ship international again.

    revo 5.1 to amp, which cable do I need?

    For some reason I can't find the cable I need to connect my soundcard to a go-vibe. Can someone find the cable I need and preferably include a link so I can tell what to look for?

    Just as I was about to buy a pair of Beyers..

    I got this sudden urge to buy a pair of AT. I was saving up for a pair of DT990's and a Corda Arietta, but now I feel like I don't want them and that I want something from the AT range. The low impedance is also attracting me so, I can get away without an amp for a while. Is this normal? So...

    Mika Nakashima is awesome.

    I've had a few of her CD's for a while now, but I've never really gave them a good listen. I listened to the album "Music" several times today and it just blows me away. Especially the song "Fed Up", what an amazing song and so powerful it gives me a huge adrenaline rush. Seriously, if your...

    Why do I find cheaper cans more "fun" to listen to?

    Well, as you may or may not have read. I've recently sold my HD595's, not because they're bad cans, but because they don't mate well with metal music. (at least to my ears) So, I went back to my old cans which are a pair of Philips SBC HP200 and the sound comes off a bit distorted and sounds...

    Corda Arietta

    In my quest for audio heaven (With a tight budget ). I came across this amp and knowing Meier Audio I'm sure it's fantastic, but I'm just wondering how does it get along with the DT990 '05? I've settled on buying a pair of DT990's (NO i'm not budging) so I'd appreciate if anyone has heard them...

    Can the AKG K701 do rock/metal?

    Just curious. Is the K701 alright with rock? They look like awesome cans! and hey the HD595's aren't cutting it for me so it's time to upgrade. I listen to uhm a lot of music. Game Soundtracks, Jpop, Jrock, Anime soundtracks, Metal, Rock, Classical and probably some more I've forgot. So, yeah...

    So, I have £100. What should I burn it on?

    Yeah, I got £100 for my birthday and I don't really know what to buy. I don't exactly need anything. I don't think there is anything audio wise I could spend it on, £100 probably won't be enough to get a good upgrade over what I have already. (revo 5.1 out to a pair of HD595's) I was thinking...

    Need some new music.

    Yeah, I'm needing some new music. I've been listening to the same stuff too much and want to see if there is anything else out there I'd like. (I somehow doubt it, though. ) A little list of my favourites. Kamelot Children of Bodom Stratovarius Within Temptation Radiohead (mainly OK...

    Grado question.

    I've recently started listening to more rock and metal and I think that's where the HD595 is failing me. (spot on for classical though) I'm not sure if I really like Grados, though. I had a listen to the SR-60 for about 10mins, but I wasn't listening to rock at the time. Basically looking for a...

    tvcables.co.uk - what the hell is with them?

    So, I needed a cheap temporary coax cable. Just did a quick google and bought the first thing I seen a £3.99 cable. Received confirmation of my order on the 15th of February, seriously. I have yet to get the cable to this day. I sent them an email last night asking them where my cable was and...

    Anyone have a fear of the dentist?

    I can't be the only one, can I? I get absolutely terrified whenever I have to go to the dentist. I cancelled my last two appointments, because -I knew- I had to get work done. The thing I fear the most is the injection, and also the general feeling of someone else's hands in your mouth and not...

    Cables tangling on there own. Very annoying.

    Hello, Just recently the cables on my HD595's began to tangle on there own. I always used the headphone stand supplied, yet this tangling happens anyway. Uhm here is a picture of what I mean, but err it's a lot worse than that now. Every time i use the headphones i need to try and stretch the...

    I want to get into vinyl.

    Heyo Yeah, I really want to get a decent turntable and speakers so I need some advice. After listening to my dads kick-ass setup I was amazed at how good it sounded! I want to feel that experience at home too! I love listening to headphones, but wow that was a completely different experience...

    Beresford TC-7510 or Zhalou 2.5?

    Being short on cash (Who isn't?) I've narrowed it down to these two DAC's. Having no experience with DAC's it sure is a gamble! I'm currently using my sound card as my source M-Audio Revo 5.1 out to a pair of HD595's. I don't really know what to go with here or maybe something else? I like how...

    Zhalou D2.5 which model should I get?

    I'm really interested in the Zhalou D2.5, but I'm really confused at which model I should get the D2.5A or the D2.5C. My headphones are HD595's and I'll be getting some AT's later in the year. I emailed the guys there and they said I should go for the the D2.5C, but I'm guessing they would say...
