No no dont get me wrong im not saying the D2000's are bright. I can see how my comment could confuse, I was just saying that out of the three hifi cans that I own, using the Caiman as a source/amp the denons are the brightest. Switching to my Bravo tube amp they sound alot better not bright at...

Is the reason for switching because of the headband only or do you find the denons harsh and bright aswell? Because out of the three headphones I have the Denon D2000's are the brightest I have compared to Grado RS2i and AKG K701's. Otherwise the D2000's would be a good choice as their my most...

Its funny the difference between headphone and speaker discussions. I've never seen a speaker thread get down to derogatory comments about other peoples choice of speaker but seen it quite often when it comes to headphones.

Just listened to my iGrados through my Beresford Caiman and the igrados had more bass almost getting to the point of over powering, they just seemed to be tuned to sound like their turned up to 11 and I loved it. I could get a similar effect by pushing the RS2is closer to my ears, so actually It...

I just tried using my RS2i's straight from my iphone using apple lossless files. Dont do it. For one thing jack plug is big and heavy, I used the step down from AKG k701's and apart from it sticking out neally 3 inches, a wiggle would break up the audio. I AB with my iGrados and the first...

I started to rip my CDs with error correction on and it was taking ages, 2x something like that, the pc had a slimline drive so that must have been the cause I guess. So then I turned it off and rips stared taking minutes to complete then. The thing is the rips that didnt have error correction...

I have a Caiman and while its a really good DAC/amp its strictly stereo and over 200 quid. How about a uDAC not quite sure it ticks all your boxes but is cheaper than the musiland and gets favourable reviews. http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/iconudac/

Please someone correct me if im wrong but I always thought that the K702's were the same as the K701's apart from the removable cable and colour. And the only difference between the Q701 and a K702 is the colour. So my understanding was that the Q701's and K701's sound the same but one cost...

The HD600s are 300 ohm so need amping to do them justice. If you are interested in the Novo, I noticed a used one on ebay at a reasonable price or how about something like a little dot 3, that is a popular pairing.

Both the HD650's and HD600's are sold out on play and will be for afew months yet I imagine. I want a hight impedance headphone like the senns to go with my grado rs2i's and denon d2000's, so no rush for them just want to get a good price on them.

I missed the HD650's at £165 before christmas last year and I have been watching them ever since to drop below £200 again, check play most mondays and fridays as thats when they seem to do these deals and what do they do? do it mid week, looks like I will be waiting another six months then :(

I was thinking someone's bound to mention the Rotel RCD-965BX as someone always does, well today I am that someone. Expect to pay between £30-£60 for one on the bay.

I use this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kensington-Liquid-FM-Plus-Transmitter/dp/B000UVQ1TS I havent had a problem with it, mine was a freebie so cant complain that I have to turn the volume up and it suffers from faint static, when the music plays you cant really hear the static anyway.

Thanks for that, I just acquired some Quad 11L2 speakers and was looking at second hand C352's but for an extra 100 odd quid I could be tempted by the newer model hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm

The Nad C355bee you have mentioned afew times that you can get from your local Richersounds for £250, is that just your local store price or is that an instore price for the whole chain? As on their website it is £300
