    Advice on rugged in ear headphones

    I can recommend Shure's earphones, it sounds like we give our earphones the same amount of daily hammer and they've lasted ages. They don't cost £15 (the basic SE102 seems to be about £50) but they do come with a 2 year guarantee, and sound great.

    Now including HD

    Hi Posted my setup a while ago, but I've now upgraded to HD TV, Blu-Ray and add a Wii. (TV) Sony KDL-32W4000 (BluRay) Sony BDP-S500 (Amp) Yamaha RX-N600D (Speakers) KEF IQ5, IQ1, IQ6c and Wharfdale SW150 I think it looks rather nice. A

    my systems (sorry about the quality of pictures)

    Nice to see another Blade on the forum, and I like the setup. Must post new pics of mine as I've now taken the HD plunge.

    HD audio on older amp

    Hi I'm planning my upgrade from DVD to Blu-ray, and trying to get straight what would be best for the audio. I've got an older amp (Yamaha RX-N600D), which doesn't support HDMI or HD decoding. So I'm thinking of getting a Sony BDP-S550, and connecting it to the amp with a multi channel cable...

    My HT and Stereo Setup

    Looks good, like the speakers. How's the Yamaha (or probably the kit above) coping with heat? My Yamaha would turn into a ball of flames if installed in that gap. Andy

    Starter for 10

    I really like the IQ5's (mine aren't the SE versions though), they sound great, but I would admit I felt that the addition of the sub was necessary (The SW150 is so much fun, you just can't help turning it up).The IQ6c is a recent addition so I'm just getting used to it (also it will need some...

    What subwoofer?

    Cheers for that. I did consider the 6c as well, but same as you looked at the price and wasn't sure, also wasn't sure if it would match with the iq5's right. I'll also go and have a look at the 3001 now. The link below only had the black one in and were doing it for £169 about 3 weeks ago...

    What subwoofer?

    Hi I have iq5's and purchased the sw-150 beginning of last month (all linked to a Yamaha RX-N600D), and I can't praise it enough, it works well with the iq5's and I wouldn't worry about oomph, the sub is turned up about half way and still rattles glasses in the kitchen, ours is probable about...

    Cable management / Hiding cables

    Order the free screw fix catalogue, I'm sure I've seen some cable managment designed to fit with skirting board in there. http://www.screwfix.com

    Starter Sub?

    This site seams to be flogging the Wharfdale SW150 for £169 (inc delivery), which seams a smart price (got to be a catch). http://www.hifisuppliers.co.uk/website/subwoofer/wharfedale-sw150.htm I've been very impressed with my SW150, it's currentlly working with a pair of KEF iq5's and it's...
