    Audeze LCD-2 Fazor Ed. Planar Stereo Headphone review

    I assume you've had no problems with the sockets? I have the LCD-3, and although they sound fantastic I'm on my second pair, as the sockets for the jack plugs on the lead came loose after about a week! They were hanging down, only held by the wiring. There were faint traces of glue on the...

    Annual Sky v VM decision

    There's a comparison here between Sky & Virgin (the picture quality is tested on pages 4 & 5). I've never had Sky, but I do have Virgin on non-fibre cable, and the picture quality overall is good, and the HD channels look fine (well, the paltry few they give you unless you pay top dollar, that...

    Glass TV Unit

    I had a Stands Unique glass shelf equipment rack for over 10 years and it was fine. However, when I was moving it last year, one of the glass shelves slipped off and crashed to the floor. You wouldn't believe how many tiny pieces it shattered into, and how long it was before I stopped finding...

    Which X-Box?

    Hi, I assume you mean the Xbox 360, the original Xbox was discontinued quite a few years ago. There was the Xbox 360 Core and Arcade models, which don't have a hard disk, just a small amount of inbuilt memory. I was suggest you get one that has a hard disk, they are available in various...

    horizontal lines only on half the screen

    I had a similar problem some years ago with a top-of-the-range Philips CRT widescreen. The lines only appeared during the winter months the first year, then they began to appear all the time, but turned dark red! The set was rented, so I got it replaced. If you search Google for...

    Imac i5 or imac i7 for gaming

    You can set up a Mac to dual-boot into either Mac OS X or Windows - and/or Linux using Apple's Bootcamp, so you can run Windows games natively. You can also use somthing like WINE to run Windows games, although WINE's a bit more complex to set up and use. An Xbox One, PS4 or PC will have a lot...

    Hi Fi you REGRETTED buying!!!!!!!!!

    A very long time ago I bought a 'Direct Designs' direct-drive turntable - this was before everyone had decided direct drive was crap, as it was recommended by one of the hi-fi magazines. It was a UK product (with a bought-in motor) and came with a Formula 4 arm, which was fine. However, the...

    Help please Roksan Caspian M2

    I have an Audiolab 8200CD that's only a few months old, and there are at least half a dozen, brand new, CDs that it has problems with - it either suddenly stops playing, goes into permanent pause, or skips; this, so far, is always near the end of the discs. The running time doesn't seem to be...
