JohnDuncan:A Cobra 2. And yes, if I was going to buy an IC it would be something major, since a 50 quid one will be neither here nor there.

I'm in a DAC or headphones or MC cartridge frame of mind though.

The beresford would be a simple upgrade if we're talking streamed music.

Gerrardasnails:Seriously, you will be shocked at the difference the Anthem makes.

I'd be so shocked I'd see the Virgin Mary in my toast, and believe it to be a sign of the end of the universe.

We are. Though if I can find a moodlab dice, I may get one of those instead (prettier).

JohnDuncan:No.......

Then I would strongly suggest you try/get some. I have the SR60 and it's the best single hifi purchase I've made.

What about some SR325i (superfi have them for 280 quid).

I word of warning tho, they might sound so good you won't want to listen through speakers....

I dont think its a case of 'finding' - just order one from the website...269 euros.

I won't ask if you have tested a very good interconnect. I would be so shocked at your answer.

fr0g:Personally I'd go for the Sennheiser HD650s. Far more comfy, and dont look like a 1950s music hall prop.

ive been using grado's for years now and comfort is a non-issue for me. looks? well i cant see them when i use them and ive used them on the train and walking through town many a time and never received and strange looks...

Fantastic idea if the quality is there. It has an added benefit, of not being able to faffed around with in the cable dept ;)

What about this?
Hold on, hold on!

This is all about preparation for that next significant purchase.

"After all darling, it's about time I treated myself, isn't it?".

Take it from me. It'll be money well spent.

Get a bunch of LPs, or CDs....just get out there and pick. Haven't read all the thread or posts, but assume this might not be limited to hardware?

A tennis racquet. Wimbledon is here so it would be a natural time to buy one. It would also double up as a pretend guitar that you could practice your Neal Schon solos on!

What about an electric fence to stop the kids touching the hifi. Think I'm going to need one of those soon as my 2nd son has turned into an octopus recently (little ******. In the nicest sense of course)
