and here we are over 2 years on and WHF has just done a headphone review in which these headphones come out with 5 stars. It's them v Grado. But the only places I can find that sell AKG in store are Richer Sounds and Superfi. Neither lists this model as being in their range. OK I can buy them...

Max you are, fundamentally, right. But by the logic of "theyre kinda used to it by now" we'd still have slavery. If that post had been an email to a work colleague the guy would be in deep wotsits. It's just not acceptable and WHF have done the right thing. I'm disagreeing with you but I'm not...

As an ordinary reader dare I enter this lion's den and chuck in my two penn'th, in support of WHF? Like many I have become "re-aqauinted" with hi fi in recent years. I wanted to update my kit and bought several mags over a period of time. I'm not keen on the sandals and real ale approach to hi...

Matthew, I think you realise I'm not getting at anyone. Just stating practical experience. Personally, when spending this sort of money I'd prefer to pay a bit extra and get some service. I'm not knocking the many excellent companies on the web but you can't beat walking into a reputable shop...

"because they won't be able to get any stock". Oh yeah? The supermarkets have repeatedly had goods in stock which the suppliers won't give them. No reason why Play can't do it too. I can see why Sony might take that route, and I may be in the market for an HX. If I do buy one then if the price...

You need next months issue of WHF then! "New season sets on test" says this month's mag. With any luck there'll be something of the size / price you want. Then all you have to do is find one in stock JH

Rob, At first I thougt this was the old Curry's trick - "we'll give this a slightly different model nbr so you can't price compare" but it seems to be a "proper" Philips model nbr. I'd say two things; if this is a new model, wait a few months and the price will drop. For instance I didn't see...

Hee hee! Spot on The best DVD (yup, I know this is Blu Ray we're talking about) I ever bought was one of the Star Trek series. Why? Because when you dropped it in the drawer it played the film!!! No trailers, no different endings, no bios, no "what language subtitles do you want?", no...

Invest - "to put (money) to use, by purchase or expenditure, in something offering potential profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value". No one ever invested in anything from Currys! JH

Thanks all. I guess I need to give more thought to what I'm trying to do. If I want to be able to download new music then I need to work out how I get it to my disk and that's where NAS may come in. If I want to stream, say, Spotify, then I need a live web connection, so a router connection is...

Hi all, please excuse my ignorance but I'm looking for help on some questions; I have a fair bit of music on my pc, recorded from all sorts of sources, including vinyl where I've either been too tight to buy the CD (joke!) or it just isn't available on CD. It's organised in WMP so it's in album...
