Guys, forgive me for asking a Sony related question off at a tangent. As an NW-A3000 (& Senn PX-100) user who is very happy in general and burning at 352KB, I have been able to set things up fairly easily. However, either my pc or I'm assuming the Connect software do not always detect the...

Nik, excuse my ignorance but how are you driving dynamic phones such as HD650s through a SET amp, I couldn't see a headphone socket, did I miss one or is it by connecting something to the speaker outputs?

Ah, okay. I'm with you. It will be an interesting ride then as I would not want to live with 64kb or 128kb, hopefully the higher resolutions will be fine but if not then at least I will now why.

Zip22, thanks for your reply although I won't pretend to understand it. I won a Rio Diamond something-or-other in a competition a handful of years ago, technically it might as well be a lifetime ago as I could not find support for it on anything newer than Windows 98 so it became a...

Well, sounds like I'm in a minority having ordered an NW-A3000S which arrives in a day or two together with protective case and Sennheiser PX-100 (I already have some Sony in-ear phones). All new and £203 in total. Perhaps I had a different perspective to most. This is my first 'kiddie' audio...

Ah, that would be the chap who actually runs more than one business but it's better to present yourself as a focused specialist by presenting an illusion of exclusivity. Some folk misconstrue that there is a sanctioned connection when actually the UK distributor is a chap named Nigel Crump...

I guess I want to hear one Carl, I'm not comfortable buying anything without trying first where something like audio is concerned. If it's a high street store shifting volume of many things I won't have a conscious about importing without warranty. If it's a dealer who invests a bit of time and...

Self explanatory from the thread title, I would like to get a listen to the little ones in 001 or 003 guise through the portable amp which gets mixed reception and perhaps through one of the home-energisers as well. I'm in Surrey and I can't find anywehre on the web where I can go along and take...

I read it in a review somewhere I should have added that as I don't take anything for granted it means I shall certainly seek out Senn electrostatics for myself to get a proper listen. Can I take it this is the route you took and, if so, can you state the reasons? If you've already done so...

Probably not Carl but I appreciate the thought. I understand the Senn electrostatics to lack refinement in the upper frequencies and I dislike this, a lot of equipment does it as we know and so stands out in A-B dems and finds it's way going home to a new family only to be listened to less and...

Thanks to all for the advice. There are a lot of models listed there which I'm not familiar with so I can see me exprerimenting. The UK dealer was wrong in my view to think that Stats would not be for me. I don't enjoy my Senn HD600 and the 404/006T combination reminded me of it too much. In...

May I ask two or three questions all related on-topic I hope: 1. Lloyd makes the SRX-III Pro sound mighty appealing but I thought they were 20+ years old now and I also thought that Stax had a change of ownership around 1996 with support of older products not necessarily being their main...

I have to say I am pretty stunned at posting twice and having the second deleted. One of the mods contacted me and asked me to send private mail rather than post. I'm not used to forums with this kind of censorship and consider myself a rationale individual and I'm pleased to see that others...

I've been lurking for a short while and felt obliged to register in order to support Jay's findings. I'll get around to profile etc. in due course. It's a few years since I listened to headphones rather than speakers and neighbours, parenting etc. accounts for my increased interest in...
