Whilst I'm on here, I thought I'd give a shout out/thumbs up to Oriveti's OH500s. Took a punt on a pair recently and I have to say they are absolutely stunning. I've never had such an expansive soundstage with IEMs before. I prefer IEMs to on ears as I like the isolation and I don't like warm...

I wonder why the XLRs didn't work though?

Thanks - now working like a dream - I'm such an idiot 😂

I've just bought a quad artera play (not +) and have hooked it up to my pathos classic remix integrated amp using both XLRs and RCAs but I've had no joy getting any sound out of it. I've tried each of the two aux RCAs out of the Play into each of the 4 analogue inputs on the back of the Pathos...

thanks for your thoughts Eric. Sorry you’ve had to suffer some ridiculous comments from people who should know better (ie grown ups). There’s an ignore function if you click on the name so you don’t see their comments. Best thing to do when people seem intent on being wind up merchants...

Wow. Guys, please chill out. This is just silly. We all have different interpretations and I wasn’t that clear about what I meant. Everyone has a view and we need to stay open minded. Please, we use this forum for fun. Let’s all be friendly.

you can only get a very basic version of Tidal on the Kann and it doesn't let you download for offline listening. it's not the volume on the Kann, it just struggles to get the best out of good headphones. Sounds flat, muddy even. the only version of tidal you can download onto the Kann is a...

Ortofon 2M Blue is worth considering. I had a 2M Red then 2M Blue on my RP3 when I owned it and they were both excellent. 2M Blue definitely a worthwhile upgrade.

That's what I thought when i bought the Kann but its internal DAC comes up well short when driving decent headphones. I did see the M11 and wondered whether there was a big difference between the standard M11 and the M11 Pro. The difference in money is about £250 so I'm assuming there must be.

I'm looking for some views on choices of dedicated Hi-Res Audio players. I use my iphone out of sheer convenience like most people do. I bought an AK Kann a while back which I thought was going to be the answer to having a dedicated player but I'm just constantly underwhelmed by it. Its...

the sony wf1000xm3s have the advantage of sounding better and costing less. both my kids have the airpods despite my desperate attempts to convince them otherwise - they wanted them because they "looked cool". I've tried them out and the difference in quality between them and the sony's are...

rega brio and rega Apollo. small footprint and amazing quality. I changed my Apollo for a Cyrus CDi and now wish I hadn't.

What do you think about the ortofon red or blue with this level of turntable? I’ve had both in the past and red was fine until I fitted the blue and saw the immediate difference. I still like the blue.

Those Townshend things cost a fortune! I've got Neat speakers and they have their own brand of floorstanding speaker mounts but I'm more than happy with the spikes on the base of the speakers. I've got carpet on a stone floor so spikes ground well enough.
