Does anyone else feel frazzled by the current state of audio tech? I was thinking back 10-15 years ago when I used to record cassettes for the school bus run and was utterly content with my cheap no brand MP3 CD player and Limewire downloads, a couple of years later and I hit the pinnacle with...

Hi all, I’ve been having a good google around for similar threads but can only find ones several years old and referencing long since discontinued iems . I am finding a lot of current headphones on offer to have really emphasised highs to the point of it being uncomfortable after a few songs ...

Just curious really , I am all about Tidal streaming nowadays but I miss the days of carefully curating playlists and burning CD’s or even cassettes prior . I think I do a lot more ‘flicking through’ music than I used to 10 years ago and a lot less actual listening if I am honest. Anyway I am...

I am using a FiiO Q1 mk 2 velcroed to the back of my iPhone. If I have wi fi switched on I am plagued by static and buzzing . I have to move the device a good 3/4 inches away to steer clear of it . Is there any material ( maybe foil or something) that could sit between the two ? To shield the...

Anyone know of any Hi-Fi / Audio discussion based Podcasts? Ive had a quick look and nothing other than the "Which Hi Fi " comes up.

So I am feeling melancholic , but Bill Evans , Moon Beams is a little too mellow... any one recommend some good, brooding and melancholic Jazz?

Hi I wonder if you can help me, my record player has fizzled out on me, and I need to get a new one. I have a limited budget along with limited knowledge.   What would you recommend me do, go and buy a new turntable ( I have been looking at the Project series ) or would my money go...

 I am fascinated by images of vintage hi fi with those warm looking back lit VU meters.   Is there a reason we don't seem them in modern equipment ?    can anybody recommend a good vintage hi fi source in the UK , the specialists Ive found  so far are silly expensive, any fairs or meets...
