    What are you listening to?

    No easy ride with this cacophony of euphoric noise terror, but sure worth it, from Benjamin John Power (one half of the venerable F*ck Buttons), a left-field and deliciously dark slice of electronica. Think Orbital and Jon Hopkins being stalked by Aphex Twin.

    Playing music quietly

    Whil'st it's true that virtually all systems will sound best at medium to high volumes, I honestly think you'll be very happy with an upgrade given the age of your kit, even though you play at low volumes. Of course some systems don't take that kindly to low volumes, many strain at very high...

    which headphones. skullcandy fmj or sound magic e10

    Another vote for the E10's here, they sound very very good for the money ..... I should perhaps also point out that the latest Whathifi just dropped through my door and they have the soundmagic subscription offer back on..... if you subscribe to Whathifi for 24.25 (6 issues by direct debit) you...

    Bluetooth speaker with rechargeable battery

    Check out the Logitech Wireless Boombox... (currently 111 pounds on Ebuyer), you really can't go wrong with these. It's based on the Logitech S715i dock, which got 5 stars and an award from what hifi. Sounds great for what it is. Only minor gripe the volume steps are a little big, but you can...

    Play.com & Amazon etc prices to increase - 10 days to go

    Bad news.

Yesterday it was announced the traders who...

    Would a centre speaker improve things

    Also try entering your AV settings and turning on the "Dialogue Lift" option, most modern AV amps have the option, pretty sure the STR-DH810 will.... this will help quite a bit. A center speaker should also help but mainly if you are running in 5.1 or 7.1, but I'm wondering how many speakers you...
