Think he's after the visuals of a seperate system. Seen a few amps on fleebay which could well go for under £50 (with postage) so hopefully i'll snatch one of those. Any idea on the speakers? Thanks for you help.

Help, I'm looking for a starter system for my brother. He borrowed my Cambridge Audio 641A + BX5s for a while when I was between homes and now he's gutted that I've taken them back. He listens to lots of modern rubbish music, but quite a diverse range of modern rubbish to be fair so all...

I have the LDMKIII which I use mostly with my 701s and I must say I live it. I haven't heard my AKGs with a good solid state amp so couldn't compare the two but have used my headbox 2 and to be honestl they're not even in the same league. The clarity of the 701s mixed with the warm valve sounds...

Struggling to find a 72t in good nick in my budget. Have been trying. Find a marantz cd6003 within budget and have been looking at CA sonata as it has some good reviews, I know and like CA and aesthetically, as it's a narrow unit, it will fit nicely with my HP setup. Any thoughts?

Looking for a cd player to go into my headphone setup and was hoping for some reccomendations please. It will be feeding directly into my CA dacmagic and then into my headphone amp so doesn't need to have a great dac. Don't mind going second hand as long as I can find one one eBay but can't...

I haven't got a clue how to change a laser. Wouldn't even know where to start even with a step by step guide.lol.

I've found a few old marantz with digital out currently going for less than a tenner so will keep my eye on them (cd63). Have you had experience with these players? Also, are there any reliability issues with buying and older player? Unfortunately my Denon only has RCA or mono out (not even...

I have a Denon M37 lying around, is there any way I could hook up the cd player in that to my DAC?

I'm looking for a budget (£50-£100) cd player with a digital out for use with my dac and headphones. I'm happy to go second hand, just looking for recommendations really as to units which people know are great at a bargain price. Thanks in advance. Daz

I have to agree, I've got the 325 and I feel like they're going to break any time and the cables twist so easily....but the sound is truly fantastic. It's so lively it can bring any song to life! However, my AKG K701s are probably my face headphones. Even though they are bigger than the sun...

Well I suppose whether or not you'll see a noticeable upgrade depends on how much you want to spend. Don't mean to be awkward. There's no doubt the headphones you already have are great but obviously you can alway get better. A good starting point might be to check out the Grado SR80i, which are...

If you geT in touch with frankfranks35 on eBay he's a cable expert. Will cost you more than doing it yourself but garuanteed a good job. I've bought from him before and know people who have on head fi. Good luck.

A couple of ad hoc questions which I'm sure will sound stupid but please entertain me..... Whats the sound quality really like? Does it have an inboard dac? Can I literally just plug it into my external hd full of music and away I go? Can I use my mac formatted drive or will it need...

Have you used this amp yourself? If so what's your opinion? Any more contenders?

I'm looking for a head phone amp suitable for my setup (see sig) but I'm really struggling to find one within budget, ideally less than £100 but could probably stretch to £150. Thanks
