return on my review of the MKV - I've decided to take an alternative tack on the usual review, and that is the following: I'm used to a relatively expensive amp/speaker system, which if you wanted to buy brand new would be £4000 that's nearly $8000 of amplification (pre amp, separate power...

Hi, well I realise the characteristics in terms of voltage etc is going to be different, since we're talking mains vs battery. But on a strict listening test, how do they compare? I've never had the opportunity, but some of you out there seem to have some very good home and portable set ups.

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone has done direct comparisons between home amps and portable amps. I imagine the home ones will have an advantage in that they have mains rather than batteries. Plus there's no size restriction. e.g. I paid the same £ for a Little Dot MKV as a Graham Slee...

If anyone's tempted by the £79.99 for sr80's at iheadphones.co.uk - I googled just before hitting the buy it now button, and found not very favourable feedback on avforums. One to research further for a good price for these.

I didnt do much a/b'ing, so need to experiment more, but last night I was a little disappointed in that the MKV didn't do much if anything over the headphone socket in the back of the Cyrus Pre X. They sounded remarkably similar. I might need to do a bit of cable swapping, as the MKV takes its...

in fact i'm now considering selling both my MT CHA47 "Peppermint Altoids" and Evilfire cmoy "Sindy" amps, I'll sort out the specs of what's inside each and post again later. £20 each including postage. i dont really use them anymore. both are in mint condition (pls excuse pun). can post pics later.

If you are happy to import, then alternatives will be from: Meier-Audio the corda headsix or xxs or 2move (see also here http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f5/my-...oday-p-292201/) from 140 euro, that's £105 or Little Dot via ebay: look for seller davidzhezhe and the Little Dot MK 1 155 dollars...

At the "starter" end of the spectrum, you can buy "mint tin" amps from Chu Moy (cMoy) - Headphone Amplifier: What is cMoy? Cant think of anything else between the mint tin and the Slee that's UK built and portable.

I sneaked out of work at 10 to 5, made it to the PO at 1/4 past 5, and had the MKV connected up by 1/2 past 5. So that's 30 Jan - collected from Little Tube and left China, 05 Feb arrived in UK, 06 Feb attempted delivery and waiting for me at local village post office. Not bad service! The...

Hi, thanks for the review. I was hesitating on a "green" slee solo but the seller wanted the same £ as he paid for it and was not prepared to negotiate. I found recommendations here for Little Dot, and the price is more favourable, so I've taken the plunge and clicked "buy it now". Will let you...

Hi, can anyone identify these headphones? Your help is appreciated, thanks, Robert

a good quality gold cdr should last > 100 years

get some led zeppelin or black sabbath. and for the soothing / relaxing music - try cocteau twins 'victorialand', labradford 'fixed:content', maybe my bloody valentine 'loveless' - try listening to some samples via cdnow.com or wherever.

you could get 2 of those 3.5mm jack plugs / phono stereo pair connectors, and then use any normal hifi interconnect.

raymond, u could just get the blue clou. posts i've read here suggest the only difference is the colour (red has an extra level of sheilding, but doesn't seem to sound any different). btw, who's the avatar ?
