Hi there, Simple question I think - Can I use Winzip or Winrar to to compress my FLAC backups? FLAC's are large as you know and backup space is limited due to backups of video also. Any advice appreciated - thanks.

Hi guys, On a low budget can anyone provide some pointers on where to start looking for a system. I would just like something that is loud and sounds as good as 225i Grados. Unfortunately I don't have a good audio store near me so...I'll have to look at a few items and then decide whether...

Hi there, One of the phones or speakers on my PK2's has stopped working. The problem is where the cable goes into the connector at the audio out end. This is what always seems to happen with real cheap phones but I didn't expect this would happen with the Yuin's. I was using them with an...

Hi, I currently have Grado SR225i's with a little dot I+ tube amp. I like them but I would like something different too. Probably closed design. As I said I want something different to the Grado's and I'm thinking Denon's or Beyerdynamic simply on what I've read about them - I mostly listen...

Hi, I'm currently using my iPod as source through a little dot I+ amp with grado sr225i phones. The iPod is connected to the amp via the 3.5mm output to RCA on the amp. I'm just wondering if I'll notice any difference with a line out to RCA? Thanks.

Whoops. Just searched for 1364 there and I'm getting three results also. Browse for Products | Farnell Ireland

Hi, I'm looking to change the opamp in my little dot I+. I've found the LT1394 on a site that's local but there seems to be three different types. Will all three work on my amp? What's the difference? LINEAR TECHNOLOGY|LT1394CS8#PBF|COMPARATOR, LP, 7NS, 8SOIC | Farnell Ireland LINEAR...

Hi, I got my first amp there about two days ago - the little dot I+. I currently have Grado 225i's and I want to get something different for when I want a change from the grado sound. I'm thinking something closed back also that will benefit from the I+. I mainly listen to techno, rock etc.

I was planning on getting another set of headphones at some stage anyway - I'm thinking I should get something that will be able to make use out of this amp. Any ideas? Something different to the Grado sound for when I want a change. I don't like the look of that HD800 nor do I really like...

Hi, Thanks for the replies regarding this. I'd never listened to tubes before - in hindsight I was expecting them to change the sound - (color it maybe is what I was expecting when I think back now) - this is what I interpreted when I read that tube amps are warm. After listening for a...

Hi, I got a little dot I+ with EF92 tubes - just plugged my SR225i's into them this evening and I don't really notice any difference apart from the fact it can make these grados much louder. The EF92's are just glowing in one small spot and that's it. What's going on? I'm running the amp...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I was planning on getting two of them - one for each channel.

Hi, I need to get a 1/4" to RCA and this is the only one I can find on Thomann.de - (a good european music store). THE SSSNAKE SPR1015 - Irish International Cyberstore Don't want to jeoperdaize the quality with a poor cable. Anybody able to offer an help or direction - thanks. Not really...

Hi, I have Grado SR225i phones and an M-Audio firewire 1814 soundcard. I'm getting a littledot I+ amp. I'm going to have to buy a cable to connect the SC to the amp - 1/4" to RCA. How important is cable quality going to be here - how do I know what brand and how much to spend? Thanks.

Hi, I want to be able to watch movies in our sitting room at home when others are talking etc. I also don't want them to be able to hear the sound so as not to interrupt them. I have Grado SR225i and am getting the Little dot I+ amp. I am going to be getting Senn HD650 soon - had them b4 but...

Hi, I just got these last week and am really enjoying them for what I listen to mostly which is techno. The bass is very good which is a real plus for this genre. Currently I am running them from an m-audio soundcard. I am aware that the little dot I+ is a great amp for these phones and...

Hi, I understand sample size and sample rate when it comes to digital audio but I don't understand what this "bitrate" is on my phone. It says the bitrate of a certain track is 48kbit/s. What happened to 16bit or 24bit? Thanks.

Hi, I've gone through the posts here and taken a quick look at the books and still cannot decide which book to get that will teach a beginner about bit rates, sampling, decibels etc. etc. The books either seem for professionals or have not been reviewed that well.
