    SA5000 Repair

    I asked this question in one of the other forums but it's had zero traction, so maybe should have asked it here? I've got the dreaded issue where my left channel drops out - and going by other posts on here, it's probably an issue with the cable at the Y-join. Someone suggested reflowing the...

    Sony SA5000 - repair cable / y joint

    So my phones have just developed this fault. I've read that the problems occur most often at the y-joint. I've also read somewhere that just a refresh of the solder at the y joint may fix the problem. Sorry I've got my soldering iron ready. However I don't want to damage the plastic housing...

    Budget Amp (or DAC?) for Sony MDR SA5000

    So - a number of years ago, I bought a set of SA5000. They are superb headphones - but very fatiguing - plus I bought them to be used as reference cans as I'm a bit of a music producer. The cans are as many will know very bright - great for clarity, but not very true (or flat response) either. I...

    Sony - Successor to MDR SA5000

    I've been using the SA5000s for a while now - but saw mention somewhere that these have been superceded. As I'm a bit out of the loop, can anyone tell me what this new model is, so I can check them out, and if they are any good?   Any help greatly recieved.

    SONY SA5000 - how to get them sounding more neutral...

    Ok - I'm going to fire this question in here, because it's a fundamental issue with these cans. I tried asking some of these questions in the AMPS section but there were zero biters - maybe the question was in the wrong place. Don't get me wrong, these cans are excellent - I A'/B'd them...

    Sony MDR SA5000 and Music Fidelity X-Cans

    Ok - I've had the SA5000 now for quite some time - and they are excellent cans, if a bit hard to get used to. I'm using them mainly to mix when I compose my computer based music - I got them because in terms of detail, they are superb, but they do have a distinctly strange bottom end. They do...

    Nokia N95 8gb

    Ok folks - here's my query. I've just bought recently a Nokia N95 8gb. so far i am almost very happy with it. There is a major problem though. I think it's very quiet. I have an in addition an iAudio U3, which for the size is a phenomenal small MP3 player, just a bit larger than a packet...

    How to fix a TFT monitor

    My old monitor has given up the ghost. Interestingly, the screen itself isn't damaged, and there wasn't any frying or burning of wires, or smoke coming out the back of it. Inititially occasionally I would get a dark veil come over the screen - it would dim, and then it would brighten back up to...

    Composers like Craig Armstrong

    Anyone out there doing stuff like Armstrong? His take on classical music seems to me to be quite accessible, and very hooky. There are quite a few belters he's done, usually filled with emotion. Balcoy Scene is a favourite of mine, as is his take on Badalamenti's Laura's Theme. Anyone...

    UK alternative to Head Fi?

    Ok team, I've been on the site for ages as a lurker. It seems to be a tremendous resource for people who are clueless about headphones. Thing is, I'm looking to buy a 2nd hand set of phones for a good price, but there's precious little people on here who sell to buyers from the UK. So, my...

    Headphones for studio use...

    Ok folks, I'm just trying to narrow down what I'm going to try to buy. I need a pretty accurate can for accuracy work for working out mixes. I have a set Tannoy Ellipse 8 speakers but can't use these all the time because of loudness issues. So, what I want to get is something I can use that...
