    Have I damaged my speakers or amp?

    Your amp should be fine, and ive found that if anything is going to go its going to be the tweeter. Is the hiss you hear in one or both speakers? Play a track on your phone / mp3 player through headphones and compare it with the track on your hifi to help calm the paranoia

    PS Vita Slim coming to UK

    Hopefully its ok to post youtube vids on this forum, here is a 1080p video showing the differences. You can actually see the pixels on the LCD whereas the OLED looks like a smooth plasma screen. Also the OLED has nice deep black colours which the LCD cant reproduce...

    PS Vita Slim coming to UK

    Yeah i hear ya, but personally i would always take a better screen over battery life and ergonomics. The screen is THE most important aspect of the gaming experience (for me anyway). The OLED Vita's are the type of product that will be sought after once all the LEDs have flooded the market...

    PS Vita Slim coming to UK

    Sooooo....Sony are being cheeky trying to charge more cash for a lower quality screen? This should be a no brainer mate, get the OLED. Check out the youtube videos of comparison and you will see the OLED is a fantastic screen. The LCD is clearly a downgrade.

    HELP!!! Denon PMA-720 + DAC Bushmaster MKII or Marantz PM-6005 with Built-in DAC??

    I'll try to answer your quetion in a less wordy way: I dont know. Until more people decide they are fed up of all the boxes and faff and make a conscious decision to go to one box solution we're non the wiser. Trouble is one box or combo solutions tend have a "downgrade" stigma attached, but...

    HELP!!! Denon PMA-720 + DAC Bushmaster MKII or Marantz PM-6005 with Built-in DAC??

    Id agree with the above comment - the beresford definately increases the faff factor and i too am looking for convenience. About 2 weeks ago i (rightly or wrongly) sold my PM7000, it really is a legendary amplifier i probably should not have got rid of but its such a massive amp i wanted some...

    HELP!!! Denon PMA-720 + DAC Bushmaster MKII or Marantz PM-6005 with Built-in DAC??

    Its probably an unlikely combo that people would have compared to be honest. I have one of the older beresford dacs and have been happy with it for many years through a pm7000 amp. i believe there is a WHF pm6005 review in the pipeline according to the following thread...

    Denon D7100 worth getting if I own the D600?

    Disclaimer: I have no first hand experience of either, however as no one else has posted.... The guys over at head fi reckon the d7100 isnt really "much" of an improvement over the 600, just a slightly different sound. Youd be wasting your money on a slighly better looking headphone and thats...

    Arcam rPac vs. Audioengine D1 - which one is better for me?

    beresford are a uk company that ships world wide. the fiio e17 would be in your price bracket at £100 which is a dac and headphone amp combo. not sure what availability is like outside of uk though.

    Arcam rPac vs. Audioengine D1 - which one is better for me?

    whats your budget fella? its a bit of a mine field out there so you might want to start of with a budget usb dac and seperate headphone amp. You might drop 200 on a full headphone amp and dac combo only to find its not the sound you like. im currently doing a geeky project seeing how close i...

    B&W P3 or AKG 451 phones.

    Hi, Im going to give you the honest but brutal truth here....dont get either. I owned the AKG 450's they were good but not great. Not sure how they compare to the 451s though but i imagine to be similar. Tried the P3's. Im a big fan of B&W but theres no way they are a good headphone. The...

    Arcam rPac vs. Audioengine D1 - which one is better for me?

    I would steer clear of the rpac especially if your headphones are detailed. Arcam forgot to include bass on the headphone amp side of things so igot rid of mine. I have a beresford tc-7520 dac / head phone amp (its now been replaced by a newer version now though) and it runs rings around the...
