A friend has bought a pair of 683s as his first HiFi purchase and now he needs an amplifier to match. He would like an integrated SS amplifier, new or second hand, doesn't need a phono, remote would be a plus. I'm not familiar with the speakers, but I can see that the impedance dips to...

Half a year later, I got used to IEMs presentation. Everything that has been said about CX300s build quality turned out to be true. The cable tangled too much, stock foams sealed in a way that got me thinking I was in a submarine and finally couple of weeks ago the L-jack tore through the cable...

Some of my favorites have already been mentiond, i.e. many spaghetti western and blaxploitation film soundtracks. Yes, Morricone hits the nail quite often in spaghettis, but I also like his soundtrack for Gillo Pontecorvo's Burn! (Quemada). Also a great film, Brando puts up a fantastic if not...

Dead Man Walking. Fantastic soundtrack.

I wouldn't want those in my living room, not even for much less than 12.5k.

OK, Sennheiser cx300s arrived yesterday. First impression is that they are a little bit bass heavy, but also very detailed. They isolate outer world very good and it's a little bit scary to use them outside. Also, there is a sense of music immediacy which I am not sure I look very much. Anyway...

Did you celebrate the purchase with a pint of 10 pounds ale? These airport merchants are real ripoff artists, I ordered a pair of cx300 IIs for 20£ yesterday. Sorry for shures, I would have been seriously upset if I'd lost such an expensive item.

I obviously didn't do my homework before opening the thread, there have been similar topics in the past couple of months. Has anyone tried Fiio e7 amp+dac? Looks lovely, it's portable and it can be operated from a long life rechargeable battery or from USB. It has some nice features like...

I wouldn't say so, 30% of time difference makes for the proposition "less bad" than if it would have been 50%. I appreciate your explanation, but I think it has more than one error in the calculation. Would you elaborate this sentence: with some equations? On first glance it seems to me...

Assuming no starting velocity, d(istance)=a(cceleration)*t(ime)*t(ime) Doubling the acceleration reduces the time by a factor of sqrt(2), i.e. by 30 percent.

That's alright, I AM a nerd :) You are right, that's what I am supposed to... Then again, I'm not writing this from home ;) When programming, I'm more productive listening to some cheesy 80s heavy metal stuff. Thanks shoniss, I would also prefer some headphones (over-ear? is that what...

I'm a happy user of some cheap Sennheiser in-ears, but I would look for something more comfortable for long listening hours. Thanks for the recommendation, though, as I do need a new set of in-ears as well. What's the difference between CX300 and CX300 II Precision?

I need some cheap headphones for work which do not leak sound, so I can listen to little bit louder music. I guess that I would pay up to 100 pounds, but cheaper is better in this case. I would be happier with a pair around 50. In addition, I'm thinking of buying a USB DAC with a little bit...

There's a s/h Alabaster for sale at Audiomarkt.de if anyone's interested. 700 euros, should be around 600 pounds. I have no connection to the seller. BTW, where does this sudden Sonneteer hype come from? All of a sudden, everyone seems to be recommending them. Are these amps really that good?
