LP12/cd3.5/flatcap/32.5/HiCap/160/kans soon to add snaps/headline Hello there, I'd be grateful if anyone could give their ideas for a choice of headphones. Sennheisers & Grados seem to get mentioned in these pages a bit, but which models? I'm looking for something 'in balance' with my system - ie nothing too flash, but a reasonable sound. As I would only be using them when someone else in the family has commandeered the tv remote they also need to be reasonably leakproof. Presumably this...

Does anyone know if you can power a Headline with a Flatcap? The Connection Guide for older products shows only connections to the NAPSC and Hi-Cap.

As I told you, my bank manager forced me to replace my 102/Hi/Napsc with 32.5/Hi, the 140 with 90/2 and the CDX with Micromega Stage 3. The "new" set was "unlistebale" and for several months I couldn't listen to the system more than 30 minuets a week....

After a bit of searching for new speakers (linn katan, atc smc7/12, rega ela) I've decided that I want Neat Petites. Or do I? I don't like the veneers much and am wondering if I would be better going all naim and looking at some intro2s.Any useful...

A thread to redress the balance of '282 - a disappointment'My new 252/SC has now been in service for a week and is an utter delight. Admittedly I've jumped from 202/HC (and am feeding it from a CDS3) but my music has never sounded so good.All the...

Hi, I turned the 72/180 off all last night and this morning as an experiment to see if the claimed advantages of continuous warmth were real. My wife claims she can't hear any difference after a period of unbroken connection to the life-giving mains....

Hi folks.Just read the topic somewhere down below about someone's active 250s shutting down. I don't have active 250s - just a single olive 250 - and I'm intrigued by this whole shutting down business. I assume it's related in some way to the current...
