Thanks for your comments lads. The amp I have has a massive external power supply, its extremely fast but the volume control is st up in such a way that you have a lot of control between 6 and 12 oclock and does not bite until 3 oclock. I can run it at full volume if I wish too. Do you think...

I have a pair of Jecklin Floats - they are the only proper pair of headphones I have owned. Has anyone had experience of them and if so how do they compare to other phones available on the market today? I was under the impression they were bass light and mid forward but now that I am getting...

When I had my naim nap 250 and before they had a headphone amp the dealer told me you could drive headphones by wiring up the speaker outputs to a female jack socket thus allowing the power amp to drive the phones. I have a very good stereo amp now and wondered how this arrangement would...

I also was offered the Pro-ject head amp when I went to the local dealer. I have seen lots of positive reviews on their turntables. They have a reputation for making things well but on a budget so in general their products have the repute of being good value for money. The unit I saw looked well...

Thanks Duncan. I am actually living in East Grinstead right now although I also have a house in Edinburgh. I will have a look at the map and try and make a visit to the shop you mention. Cheers ian.

Thanks guys for the pointers. I guess I'm going to do a bit of auditioning. By the way Duncan is there anywhere around London where you can try any of the phones that have been mentioned here, or indeed anywhere with a big choice. Ian

I live in the UK and I need a rig to be able to watch movies late at night. I want a good head phone system that will bring the drama over yet keep the dialogue clear. Any suggestions? Budget is about £100 - £300. All the best Ian

Pro-ject, a company that makes turntables has recently brought out a headphone amp called the head box. Has anyone heard it or know how it rates against others? Ian

[Thanks for the advice on the valves. When You say "one of the four or five amp builders we have here" is here the UK? What do you loose out on sound wise when you go for portability and are portable units battery operated? Who makes the META and why did you decide to go for it...

Thanks Duncan, I'm not sure what the Jeklins "sound" like. When I bought them I paid £100 for them because they sounded very natural compaired to the less expensive ones. I bought them from the main Linn dealer in Glasgow and they know a bit about tunes there. Compaired to phones like the...

Opps sorry, My first attempt at this sort of thing, where is the amps forum? Duuu... Ian.

Hi all, I'm really impressed with how enthusiastic you enthusiasts are. Nothing like being right into somthing. Here is my scene perhaps you can offer some insight into the correct solution. I don't need phones to listen to music cos I'm a speaker head but I do need to use them to...
