    Struggling to love what is technically an upgrade (LCD-2 to LCD-X)

    i always loved my LCD-2s, ive never heard anything under £1500 i preferred, so when my bamboos broke about a year ago i went and listened to a selection of others and ended up buying another pair of LCD-2s. not too long ago i broke them too (one of the magnets somehow dislodged at the front and...

    LCD-ZB, Dr Frankenstein's Audeze

    [TIFU] I Killed my Gryphon!

    the latest tale in my usual run of HiFi bad luck, a few weeks ago my LCD-2 closed backs died, i thought the membrane had popped, on further inspection what happened was evidently they got a knock somewhere that had dislodged one of the magnets at the front which had then snapped to the one below...

    Smallest 2.5mm panel mount socket?

    Ive been looking for a panel mount 2.5mm TRRS socket to replace the one that ripped off the board of my ifi xcan after less than a month of use but theres not much space in the casing to actually fit the connector and the Prosignal one i have is too large to really fit in, especially as i dont...

    Where to get cable for DIY?

    a while back my ER4s cable gave up the ghost, not being in the Us etys own service was a pain so i did some research and bought a null audio arete cable, it sounded amazing, for a week when the sound in the right bud started popping in and out, unscrewing the little connector box it was plain to...

    New Hifimediy sabre 9018 dac?

    recently i got a new job, naturally my first question was "can i have a stereo in my office" and the answer was yes, its not amazing but better than some crappy pc speakers (a marantz pm5004 and a pair of dali zensor 1) now all i need is a DAC so i dont have to drag my HRT back and forth so i...

    USB port crappyness?

    this seems like a bit of an odd one so i thought id throw it out there and see if anyone else suffers similar issues, i first noticed it on the dacmagic and the same thing happens on the HRT so its not the DAC at fault, anyway on to the prob.   my laptop is a vaio, a few years old now but...
