Hmm, well I think even you would notice the difference between cheap twisted-pair and something more substantial. There are also issues of capacitance. resistance, etc which, I expect, would most definitely make a difference to the sound. Having said that, I do agree that there's a lot of...

Thanks for that. Do you know what cable it is? Perhaps the HD650 cable that others have mentioned?

Yeah thanks. That's really useful. Not.

I'm looking for recommendations for a good after-market cable for the HD600. Or, alternatively, arguments for why the standard cable is all I need. The context is a Naim system. Specifically, an Olive 52 with a HiCap-powered Headline. Any opinions out there?

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the advice.

I have several albums which came with a DVD or Blu-Ray containing 24/96 files of the music. I can play these off the disc but I’d like to download them do they can be used on my Pono. However, I’m unable to access them as they don’t show up when I look at the discs on my PC drive. Do I need...

OK, so I'm looking at a Weller WTCP 51 at the moment. It seems to have all I'll need for awhile, although it doesn't have variable temperature. Am I on the right track? Can anyone advise on a better product for my purposes? Thanks to you all.

Thanks but who are RS?

Probably not the most enthralling thread you've read this week but... I intend to start doing some hands-on electronics with the eventual aim of building something useful like a pre-amp power supply. The first step is to get the right tools and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a...

A new black Headline has an RRP of £275 so a secondhand Olive at £175 is about 65% of that. It's also worth noting that the Black is supposed to be an improvement over the Olive as well. Still, they are quite rare and that seems to be reflected in the secondhand values.
