    Posting Pics - blocked as spam?? Mods Help Required

    Not posted for a while, but i had a reply to a post earlier today go through no probs. However, I thought it about time I upload pics of my setup into the My System section. Read up on the thread from Paul on how to post, so I signed up to Flickr. Spent an hour going to the process of linking...

    ARGH !!!!!

    Hi Alantigger, Samsung have dropped 3-D on their 2016 "KS" series, so best option is to see if you can grab a 2015 "JS" series, since these will be heavily discounted also. The one to go for, IMO, would be UE55JS9000 which ticks all of your spec requirements and is very close to budget. Good...

    Sad news regarding a fellow forum poster.

    Very sad news indeed. I had enjoyed reading his contributions, especially the recent death metal thread. Particularly upsetting for me, since I'm typing this sitting next to the hospital bed of my 14 yr old lad who was hit by a car 2 weeks ago on his bike - only for wearing his cycle helmet...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 headphones with the Fiio E12 amp

    Hi Flyingwasp volume setting is similar to yours, just shy of half way - this seems to be fine for me on normal listening. If I want to really blast a rock track out then I will up it a bit. I like the fact it has plenty of power on tap, versus direct from idevice which has to have the volume...

    Bowers & Wilkins P7 headphones with the Fiio E12 amp

    Hi Flyingwasp, Dale I too opted for the E12 with my P7's. Have to say am not disappointed, goes really well with my old iphone4 that I just use as a music player with Alac rips. Preferred the e12 over the other fiio's since I don't need the dac functions (I use na7704 headphone function to...

    3d with non 3d Avr??

    Update: realised the ud7006 has 7.1 multi outputs. So bought Cablesson® - 2 Way HDMI SPLITTER BOX Active Amplifier and some analogue cables. So when I want to watch 3-d I cabled direct to the tv, but the audio is multi in. Works well, watched man of steel, good 3-d and the sound was great. For...

    Is the mag getting smaller?

    I echo a lot of the feedback listed so far. I am a subscriber (digital) and will continue to subscribe, since I believe that what hifi is not just the mag it is the site as well. If subscriptions drop then I assume it means the website will take a hit also, so my view is I am paying for more...

    3d with non 3d Avr??

    Since I don't have twin hdmi outputs on my bdp, and I don't want to sacrifice the hd sound by going digital coaxial into Avr: Are there any hdmi solutions, splitters? That peoples are aware of, or have tried? Wasn't really interested in 3d, but took a punt on eBay and got some bargain priced...

    Arguments for and against calibration

    Hi Ellis, I've been dipping in-out of this thread, so apologises if what I'm asking has already been answered. Can you feed back on what kit you use to calibrate : hardware & software. Any recommendations for beginners to read up on the basics etc? many thanks lxd
