    Perforated dust cap on B&W 602 S3

    From my memory of owning the 602 s3 I think this was a really great speaker for the money! So much so that I often think about getting another pair. Would try and find a nice set though and not rush into buying any old tat.

    USB Cables (A-B) for DAC's

    Thanks very much - yes I am in love with the luxmans. Infact I think I've almost reached audio nirvana - I'm not sure how much better it can get but I don't think I'm to bothered about exploring it anymore. I'll stick with what I've got and enjoy it. I'll give the QED cable a go - my first...

    USB Cables (A-B) for DAC's

    Thanks for the responses. I'll guess I'll have to try something reasonable but not super expensive and see for myself. If there are real tangible benefits then I'll get a good one... after all my system is pretty high end so wouldn't want something like a cable holding it back.

    USB Cables (A-B) for DAC's

    Will a regular cheapo £1 or freebie cable perform the same as a top end £1000 cable? Does shielding from RFI actually matter? I am guessing a freebie / cheapo cable is going to perform the same but happy to hear opinions. :)

    Finally...

    My PMC speakers have this functionality. It does make a difference - not sure its a must have but I do take advantage of it. My Amp has tone controls also.

    Power Cables - Amp Rating

    Thanks for the advice all. I'm gonna flog the cables, if I can get a bit of money for them its better than chucking them. HiFi is a strange one isn't it. So many conflicting opinions, snake oil salesman etc. Best to just use your own ears and rational thought.

    Power Cables - Amp Rating

    Now attached back on my power amp.

    Power Cables - Amp Rating

    So it’s got a 13 amp fuse in it - go figure. 🤔 brown / white fuse.

    Power Cables - Amp Rating

    So, I happened to have a few 'audiophile' (yes I know) power cables to hand - now I realise this is a bit contentious and I'm not debating whether they make an audible difference. What I want to know and this is after the fact because I've been running this cable on my power amp for a week or...

    Pmc 20.21 vs 25.21

    No I do not. I am merely asking you because you seem to have an amost religious devotion to slating PMC as a brand. There's certainly no brand that should be considered 'the best' because of how many variables are involved in putting together the perfect system - however I think you're being...

    Removing scratches from piano black speakers

    I think your best would honestly be to just leave it. You'll likely end up making it worse. Live with the cosmetic mark. I bought some PMC Fact.12 second hand and they have a couple of minor marks and small bits that aren't cosmetically perfect. These things give your stuff character and even...

    Review for NAD C372

    Loved my C370 (never heard the C372) when I owned one. Also had the C542 - good CDP from memory and was my first proper system. Things have moved on just a bit since then though! :)

    Pmc 20.21 vs 25.21

    Most of your posts on WHF revolve around how bad PMC are. In addition I’m fairly sure you have a YouTube track record against PMC. I’ve seen a number of posts using similar terminology like ‘pmc lie’. What’s your beef with the brand, do you work for a competitor or just some irrational hatred...

    Small Standmount Speakers for Naim System

    If you do look at power supplies, consider a Teddy Pardo one. I had one for my Naim Nait XS2 and it was mega - made a decent difference to the sound quality. There's a lot of chat on pink fish media to suggest they are better than the Naim ones. Teddy has a lot of great scientific documents and...
