    A new chapter.....

    This is an interesting exercise. Speakers worth considering might be Acoustic Energy compacts? I think they are currently about £99.99 and were originally £150 'ish?

    iOS7 on an iPhone 4

    I don't like it at all. It improved after I'd completely wiped my iPad 2 and re-installed it but the design is woeful. Ilike design and have more than a passing interest in it but the appearance of IOS 7 on ipad 2 is terribe; the icon colours are gaudy and colourway in some of the features like...

    Arcam Rlink problem

    Slightly sideways but I have a problem with the rPac; it is connected to a Mac and out to headphones or a small Acoustic Energy 2.1 system. When watching/listening to youtube, if I select another video or another track there is a loud cracking/switching sound (difficult to describe) and the...

    AKG K550 - review

    Actually, I should have said they had two pairs boxed on the wall display, so they are still NIB. The way I'd written that post it sounded like they were opened and on display. Hope you get a pair. R

    AKG K550 - review

    I bought the 2000's three weeks ago at the HMV shop in Westfield, West London and they had at least 2 pairs left as they were on the wall display; not sure that helps but there might be a way of getting them
