OBravo EAM1-C Impressions
See I didn't find that at all with them, I used them for quite some time but had 2 problems...1 they wouldn't stay in my ears (a problem only over ear JH/Shure style iems fix) and 2 they sound like Grado PS1000e, beautiful clarity and lightness but no mids or bass whatsoever. I swapped out for...- MarkRS

Best aftermarket cable for HD820?
I have a loan set of HD820 and HDV820 at the moment and want to see if a cable can take the edge off a little and add to the bass and mid bass performance. I only really see 2 choices coming up, Cardas Audio Clear and Black Dragon Premium, both terminated to XLR. Anyone got thoughts on the...- MarkRS

Sennheiser HD820 and HDV820 input/connection options?
Thank you again. I've been using the Audioquest Toslink today and Tidal plays fine via the SP1000 but none of the albums in flac format (44.1, 16bit upwards) play any sound! I've set the SP/DIF out to force bitrate to 24/96 and all other configs but no noise..very weird.- MarkRS

Sennheiser HD820 and HDV820 input/connection options?
Thank you, didn't realise that...this loan pair just has the 6.3mm connection. Wondering now if it's worth buying the effectaudio 2.5mm balanced to pentaconn adapter for my Lionheart cable on my Layla 2s? Would be cool to hear the Laylas through a dedicated dac. Interesting on the toslink, what...- MarkRS

Sennheiser HD820 and HDV820 input/connection options?
Afternoon all, just curious as I've just bought the above kit for home use but have been given the kit on loan for 2 weeks before the new items ship. Which OEM cabling choice is best for the headphones, 6.3mm or XLR in terms of sound/performance? Which input option on the back is the best for...- MarkRS

Best way of streaming vinyl?
Thank you, I've done that but as usual there's just too much choice! Can you suggest something audiophile that will work for me? I think the best solution would be to either run the cable from the Mani into a transmitter (bluetooth??) and then somehow connect any Naim in the house to it...or...- MarkRS

Best way of streaming vinyl?
Not headphone related I know but... I have a Rega P2 connected to a Schiit Mani, running through a Naim Mu-So. I also have a Mu-So QB downstairs and would like to know the best way (sound quality) to broadcast the vinyl signal from the Schiit to allow both Mu-So to pick it up. The P2...- MarkRS

The SP1000 and playlists!
Hi all, I'm fiddling with my SP1000 and earlier on decided (don't shout at me) to remove all the messy files I found in each album folder so just the tracks and cover art remained. Now if I browse by album and try to play it plays track 1 but then says 'too many unplayable tracks, player will...- MarkRS

Anyone with Layla2 near London?
I'm still not really getting on with my Obravo EAMT1-C, they're very good don't get me wrong but I miss my JH sound. Anyone near to Guildford with a set of Layla2 I can try out? Might sell or swap the Obravo for some.- MarkRS

OBravo EAM1-C Impressions
I've ordered T500 small to test with my mediums, also ordered TS500 mixed selection to test and InAirs mixed selection. I would hope the AK SP1000 can drive them?! The sound definitely feels a bit like hearing after a flight and your ears haven't popped at times?- MarkRS

OBravo EAM1-C Impressions
Thanks for the feedback, I didn't consider burn in time on the AMT. I suspect they're on about 50 hours. My ears are odd fitment, the voodoo seem to seal ok but not much bass and more amt presence...so I went for the T500 (I used these on my 846), on my Angie I used the shorter TX??500 tips, the...- MarkRS

OBravo EAM1-C Impressions
Well I'm now around a week into ownership of the EAMT1-C and after a false start (one of them had a fault on the driver), I've upgraded to the balanced cable and been working my way through the various tips. Currently I'm mixing between the T500 Comply in medium (small ordered) and the Voodoo in...- MarkRS

Not sure if there's one on here already? Picking these up at the weekend, going from JHA Angies to them and only because I got a decent chance to buy them. Would be great to hear any other views on them apart from 'hmmm they're not cheap are they' :)- MarkRS

Chord Mojo Sampling Indicator
Ok, playing with the sound device settings for the mojo, I can get the light to change by 'testing' the sampling rates in windows and then if I set a default sample rate for shared mode at say 24bit 96khz...the mojo light stays blue all the time when playing tidal, foobar, winamp etc regardless...- MarkRS
