I stumbled across this on ebay and am curious about whether the claims would actually be beneficial to a system? Silver Plated Multiway Mains Plug DIY Naim Hydra Lead on eBay, also Mains Cable, Cables Connectors, Home Audio Hi Fi, Consumer Electronics (end time 05-Apr-09 22:21:19 BST) It...

Well these look familiar... Altec Lansing > Change Language & Regions Do Logitech own Altec too?

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the cable forum, or here in science, but i think im looking for a more 'physical' answer than just a subjective 'will it sound different?' answer. Anyways, the basic question is, does the size of RCA cable matter? The QED stuff i've got is about 8mm in...

I have just ordered a Naim NAC122x and a NAP150x in an upgrade to my current system. Im looking to upgrade the speaker cable i use as well, and i sent an e-mail to Naim after reading part of the amp manual that said 'high definition' speaker cable would damage the amp. The response i got was...

Im currently using a Pro-ject 1Xpression MKIII with 2mRED cart in my system and am looking to build myself an isolation platform for it. I've done some reading around and it seems there are several options. Im not sure whether to go for a high mass, or low mass platform. Initially i was thinking...

Anyone heard anything about this amp? Looks like a contender to the soon to be released iBasso D10. Uncle Wilson's SuperStore - Go-Vibe Vulcan Jaben Online Store $380 is out of my budget, and iBasso have said the D10 will only be slightly more expensive than the D1 (which was $250 when...

I received the latest and sadly last offering from this fantastic Swedish jazz trio yesterday and have not stopped listening to it since. It is, in short, brilliant. I don't claim to be an expert or connoisseur of jazz, i like what i like, and this album has really struck a chord with me...

Would it be possible to CNC a 3.5mm jack? I was wondering because ive been looking at custom cables for my TF10's but they all have big 3.5mm jacks. I know someone with a CNC machine, but i don't know if its possible, or what metal to use etc. Anyone got any ideas?

I listen to a pretty wide variety of music, but this is one genre i've never paid any attention to, bar enjoying it on nights out etc. Ive had a look around but i dont really know where to start. It seems to evolved (like everything) since it first got popular, so id like to get a feel for...

After seeing some posts around about INSONO custom IEM's i took a look at their site and saw they do custom tips for IEM's also. It is quite tempting to get some for my TF 10's and when i asked, they said thay can be made to have them in the 'Flip flop' possition. I just wondered if anyone...

I know its nowhere near as big as the ones you get across the pond, but it's the biggest one in 25 years. Woke me up, i wondered what was going on, then went back to sleep. Then got about 5 drunken phone calls from mates across the country all recounting their stories. Was rather funny...

I have decided the next addition i want to make to my set up is a 'budget' CD player. My budget is £300. So far the only one ive looked at is the AudioLab 8000CDE. Im also finding it kind of hard to find a decent review site. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Im not going to lie, this is half a shameless plug, but it is also half 'I really think a lot of people here might get something out of it'. Basically, due to the terrible health conditions of a lot the UK's youth a friend of a friend decided he wanted to do something about it...

I've had my UE Triple.Fi 10's for a few days now and thought i'd write a little comparison between them and the Super.Fi 5 Pro's. Obviously the Triple.Fi 10's come out on top, but i thought this might be useful for people thinking of an upgrade, or looking for a set of IEM's and aren't sure...

So thought i was all set to get some LiveWires, i have my audiologist appointment booked for wednesday morning and order form filled out. $250 looks like a great deal. However being in England, means i have to take some other factors into account. I rang around over 6 places that took...

I got a Pro-ject Xpression MkIII for christmas, and have been having some static problems. The platter is acrylic with a felt pad to go on top. When i take a record off, the felt sticks to it from static which (even though the TT is off) comes through on the speakers. Is there any way to...

I didn't really know where to post this, but ill give it a go here. I have a mains adapter with a USB socket in it for charging a BT headset thing for my phone, and i was wondering if i could use it to charge my iPod Classic 160Gb. It says the Output is 5.0v at 180mA ... i searched...

I knew id seen it somewhere! PenguinAmp.co.uk - USB DAC Cable 50'' (125cm) Question is, can it be any good?

This might be the wrong place to put this, but here we go anyway. Im looking for a rear panel for a 160Gb Classic but can't find them anywhere. I've found numerous places selling the 5th gen back plates but no where seems to sell Classic rear panels. Anyone got any ideas?

Since i first got my Super.Fi 5 Pro's i have only used them directly out of my iPod while on the move. They sound fantastic, they really do, as the reviews on this sight will highlight, but.... (There's always a but!) I have a cheap pair of Senn eH350's from ages ago when i was naive and...

Im looking at the SOHA Level 1 amp as my first headamp project to use with my UE Super Fi 5 Pro's and future Audio Technica ATH-A700's, but having read around i've heard tubes aren't good for IEM's due to microphonics. I use IEM's and cans roughly for equal time, so it's really important i chose...

Can the STEPS only be used with headphone amps? I would like to see what improvements it would make to the SQ of my GC, as the rectifier that came with the GC amp ive got is very, very basic. The only problem i can see (so far....) is the size of toroid, but could it just be mounted...

I didn't really know where to put this, but im looking for a kind of iPod cradle to hold my iPod on my desk. Like the ALO Vcap dock, except without any of the bits in so i can use my own LOD etc. I've looked around but nothing seems to fit the bill and it's not something i can really make to...

So im getting a TT for christmas, it will be my first. I have collected vinyl for a while and always used my dads Garrard 401. However now im not at home much any more i need my own. I have a rough budget of £250-£300 (pretty rough for now but a good starting point). I have very little idea...

I've been looking around for some cheapish IEM's to use down the gym since i took my old Sen OMX 50's down and cringed at the terrible sound! A couple that have caught my eye are the Jay j-jays and the OVC TC-20's. Both are pretty low cost and seem have got good reviews etc. Does anyone have...
