Hi guys,   I havent been around for a while, and recently pulled some of my gear out of storage, and unfortunately, the balanced DT770s and Balanced CKIII Amp that I bought of FallenAngel sometime ago (around 2008 I think) appear to have developed a fault. - The amp is fine on single output...

Hi all, I have just finished building myself a new computer, as I no longer need a laptop for portability. In my last desktop rig, I used an old M-Audio Delta DIO 2496 sound card however, the new system is going to be running Windows 7, and there do not appear to be any drivers for this...

I came across this company earlier today, and they struck me as a more nieche version of skull candy for borders/skaters. I was wondering if anyone has heard/seen any of their products? The alpha series looks particularly interesting, especially for you Americans over there! Their...

Right, After a slightly shaky start I have managed to make the leap to a fully balanced setup, and I have to say, it is fantastic! A pair of balanced DT770's originally arrived with the amp (A CKKIII) and whilst I liked what I heard, I had never heard a stock pair of DT770s before, let...

Hi All, Am looking for some advice from fellow balanced HD650 users, I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to remove the stock cable from the headphones. No amount of tugging, wiggling, twisting, swearing, etc will make them budge. Any ideas? I really dont want to damage these...

Hi all, To maximise my chances, but to avoid double-posting, I just wanted to draw your attention to my wanted advert here : http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f42/wt...amp-uk-455246/ Essentially, I want a balanced beta 22 either sold to or built for me! Thanks Hugh

Hi all, I am currently doing very little travelling that warrants the use of the Pico and HD650/RS1, and for any short journeys I am more than content with the NE-7M's straight out of the iPhone. As such, I am looking to upgrade my main rig at home. I recently acquired a pair of RS1's...

Hey all, I am the proud new owner of a pair of RS-1s, and am currently really enjoying them with my pico, but working my way through my collection, I was left in a state of shock after listening to about a minute of an Amy Winehouse track... I could not believe how horrible it sounded! I...

Hi all, I am in the process of selling off all my unwanted/unused cds, but am a little bit stumped as to what to do with a load of promotional cds that I have collected over time as the relative of a radio DJ... I obviously understand that it is completely against all and every rule to...

Hi head-fiers, I have done a fair bit of reading on this subject over the last couple of weeks since getting an iphone, as I honestly cannot stand the ibuds, but really do need an in-line microphone for taking calls! (I have got some rather funny looks on the train holding my phone to my face...

Hi all, I have just got a pico, and am rather impressed to say the least. Because of the good first impressions (and the cost) I want to explore the possibility of using the DAC in the pico to feed my speaker system from my laptop (as a pre-amp?) is this a viable solution? or will i be...

Hi guys, I have done a quick search of these forums, and could not find anything directly relevant, so here is my problem, any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using a Zepto Znote 6224W laptop, which has the Realtek HD Audio 7.1 soundcard integrated into it (rubbish i know, i have an...

I am currently really enjoying my grado 325i's and having run through my entire collection of led zeppelin, pink floyd and pearl jam records, i am looking for some suggestions for other bands that in your opinion *just work* with the 325i's sound signature... (i am also enjoying these cans with...

Hi all, I have a question for those in the know about external sound cards... I have recently purchased a new laptop as my desktop gave up the ghost. With my desktop, i was using an M-Audio Delta card to output my sound via SPDIF Coaxial cable to a Beresford 7510 DAC which fed a marantz PM-66...

Hi all, I am in a bit of a dillema here, even though it is the good kind! I am looking to upgrade my kit and need a bit of advice. My setup is currently as follows: I use both a computer and cd player as my sources, both are passed into a Beresford TC-7510 MK5 from which the headphone amp...

Hi everyone, I am in a slight dilemma and would really appreciate a bit of advice. I recently took my first step on the audiophile ladder and sorted myself out a decent (albeit budget) amplifier and DAC combination (Marantz PM4001 and Beresford TC-7510) and am now looking to upgrade my...
