Hi All,   A friend has looked at the Bose QuietComfort 25 but is not keen on paying over the odds and has asked me to suggest some alternatives. Any suggestions for Cans in a similar price bracket but that better sounding\value for money.   He needs closed back and listens mainly to...

Hi,   Can anyone suggest a replacement cable for the Pro 900? The connector on mine is bent and the cable needs replacing. Ultrasone only sell replacements in the UK via a reseller who charges the same as the cable for postage - which is a a scam ! So I would rather spend a bit more and buy...

I'm planning on getting a single Porcupine Tree or Steven Wilson album for some friends for Xmas. Which album would you choose to introduce someone to Steven Wilson's work? Which would you choose as the most accessible for a PT\SW "newbie"?     If you want me to add another album to the...

Hi All,   I want to create a simple way to access and play my music stored on my Network drive from another room in the house.   My initial idea was to use Raspberry Pi as a cheap front end method:   Home Network -> Raspberry pi -> XBMC -> USB -> External DAC -> External Amp ->...

This ruling is another good reason for why I would rather buy a CD and rip it myself.   If it turns out to be rubbish, at least I can sell the CD on to someone that might appreciate it more.   http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22000668     If this applies to books too...time to...

Hi Guys,   Help me expand my classical music knowledge. Amongst many genres, I enjoy classical and opera. Unfortunately my knowledge of these two areas really only extends to the well known and common "anthems" and collections.   Outside of the classics, I like Mozarts & Verdi's...

Hi All,   Not sure if this is the right forum for this....   As you can tell from my signature, I am addicted to collecting CIEMs. As I own\have on order a number of high end CIEMs, I thought I would use my addiction to benefit the forum by writing up a a review on the various CIEMs...

Guys,   For some time I have been thinking about upgrading from my Ultrasone Pro 900...and I had been considering the Denon D7000.   As Denon in their wisdom have now decided to replace the D7000 with those new Beats looking clones, the D7000 has become rarer than rocking horse poo.  ...

All,   I am curious to know from other JH16 Pro owners whether they find their 16s to be very bright and easily sibilant? At times mine can be almost painful in their brightness and I have noticed that they are sibilant where the JH13 aren't.   I admit that I am a bit of a cable...

Hi,   Not sure which forum this should be in, so trying here.   Does anyone know of Audiologists that can take IEM impressions in the Sufflok\Norfolk areas. I have used Boots in the past, but they have increased their prices from £35 to £85 !   Cheers

Thought I'd share this article proving what has long been suspected...that modern music is all the same...only louder. The article contains the link to the original techie Nature report for those interested.   http://www.gizmag.com/pop-music-trends/23535/

**** I did put this thread in Headphone Amplifiers but got no responses so assume it was the wrong thread - and I dont know how to move it from thread to thread so recreated it here ****   Hi All,     I recently bought an Arcam Solo Neo to use as a CD Player but mainly as a streaming...

Hi All,   I recently bought an Arcam Solo Neo to use as a CD Player but mainly as a streaming device to play music from a NAS server on my network via an Ipod app. I haven't been blown away by the sound of the Arcam and was looking to add a dedicated Headphone amp to it.   My initial...

Hi All,   I need to fnd some On Ears for my wife and need some suggestions to investigate further. However, there are some minimum requirements:   1) Closed back 2) Must sound good without the need of an amp - will be played directly from a Cowon S9 3) Must be light - she tried out...

  Hi all,   I was wondering if anyone has any information on how to find out which ranges certain instruments lie in?   The reason I ask is that I spent a bit of time the other day swapping between my ACS T1s and JH13 with a particular song and noticed an obvious difference in how the...

Hi all,   I need some suggestions for alternative headphones to Solo Beats. A friend's son is keen on getting Solo Beats like his mates, but is tentantively open to the idea of something different.   He is 13yrs old and likes Bassy music. He will be mainly using them at home without an...

Hi All,   I am finding the stock JH13 cable to be quite microphonic, especially comapared to my ACS T1's stock cable, which I have been really spoilt with. Has anyone replaced their stock cable? Any recommendations? Do you know if the replacement will work with a JH16 too ?   Thanks

Hi all,   Seeing as JH Audio have their Black Friday deals on at the moment, I am seriously considering whether to get the JH16. I have a pair of reshelled JH13 already but am really tempted by the idea of upgrading to the JH16   Does anyone here own both or have experience of both?  ...

Hi all,   I am currently using Ultrasone Pro900s for my home setup and am considering upgrading. Although, I like them in the main, I have always found the highs a bit too bright for me. Even with 100s of hours of use, I still cant quite get used to them. Aside from that, I have a case of...

Hi all,   I have an iBasso D10 which I mainly use at my work desk for its USB function. The issue I have is that at my desk, I get a lot of RF interference through the D10. I've reached the point where I just want to replace the D10 for another portable amp\DAC that isnt as prone to RF. I...

Hi all,   Over the last few years I have owned Shure SE530s and ACS T1s and have had them fail on me a number of times. The failure has been where the earphone goes very quiet over a day or so and then fails completely. Both IEMs have failed in the right ear multiple times with a very recent...

Hi all,   I currently use an iBasso D10 DAC\Amp to play music through my PC at work and Laptop at home. The sound through my laptop sounds great. However, the work PC is a nightmare as I am plagued with RF interference -clicking, buzzing and that sound you hear when a mobile phone is about...

Hi All,   I own the ACS T1s which I love, but for a number of reasons I am also considering buying the JH16Pro. I'd like to know from anyone that owns both, what you think the differences are and whether you think I should go for it? Which do you use\favour more often?   Thanks

Hi All,   I was wondering if any other ACS T1 owners have had any issue with their earphones? I have had mine for about a year now and the right earpiece has died twice so far. Luckily they are still in warranty and to give them their due, ACS are quick and efficient in fixing them and...
