Hi interested if anyone else needs to test their valves occasionally. I have tried in vain to find anyone in SE England who can do this. "Proper" testers start about £3k from what I can see. So I have arriving tomorrow an Orange VT1000 tester. It's a toy compared to the real thing and the...

As headfi no longer supports Windows Phone I have no choice but to post and chat elsewhere Its been an amazing 5 years, I have learnt so much, its an amazing audio community. I would love to continue but the forum is just not readable on Windows Phone (Lumia 930), now the mobile version no...

Is this a permanent thing, can only get desktop site on my Lumia 930

Hi, found these pics on Twitter from last year.   It looks gorgeous, I can't find any mention of it since.   Did it come out ? Are HSA officially closed?   thanks            

I am sure I am not the only one who has more than one choice of DAP , ( btw I prefer PAP , personal audio player) And as I grabbed my DX90+Lehmann Traveller this morning, I left my 901, and Studio V at home and now I wondered why I made this choice.   There must be a multitude of different...

Hi, I would appreciate any help identifying something slim to bundle with my DAPs. Budget not important. Ideally it would look like an E12 but sound like an O2   any ideas?

My Lumia 930 takes great photos, but uploading doesn't work, they don't make the body of the message. Driving me nuts as I mainly use Head Fi on my phone.

....you can't find all of them.Lost my Studio 3rd, have not used it for at least a month so no idea where it is !!! Arse ! Of course if that were my only DAP, I would always know where it was.

Looking through this section of Head Fi it strikes me that On Ears get very little mention, it doesn't help that some On Ear related posts go to Headphones - "Full Size". At present the forum seems only about IEMs. As I look around here for something new it struck me how few new models have...

http://www.hifinews.co.uk/editorial/page.asp?p=1173   Here's a lot of info on the show, a new venue for me.  It is primarily a traditional 2 channel HiFi show, but I went along to sniff out anything portableand headphone related.   It was my first look and play with the Oppo PM3, and it is...

Ever since hdphns started advertising on the site I get various pop ups and attacks on my Lumia 930 I am sure its nothing to do with the sponsor, but something is wrong somewhere.

  Lehmann Traveller – Portable Integrated Amplifier Bought from Thomann in Germany about £310.00 – available in UK only from Audio Affair for £399.00   Hardware Used for Review – DX50, HM-901+mini box,Studio 3rd Anniversary, T70P, DT1350, D2000, V-moda XS   I needed a new toy, you all...

I have noticed recently my 901 & mini box needs about 10 mins before both channels sound correct. Coming from a trad 2 channel back ground this is not news to me, some transistor amps take weeks to warm up properly. So do you allow some warm up time before listening ? Anyone else experienced...

After a frustrating day spent trying to buy a pair of headphones, it has struck me that retailers are not doing themselves any favours by being available in EVERY way.   A typical UK retailer now will have the following ways of communication with the customer;   * Telephone - landline *...

Dear All, in particular @Polaraudio and @Beyerdynamic.   Some of you may have noticed I have not been around recently, and I wanted a chance to explain why and apologise to Beyer publically   I was part of the Beyer A200 loan/tour scheme, as I stopped using an Iphone earlier in the year I...

Just found this   http://www.ebay.com/itm/A6-EASECASE-Custom-Made-Genuine-Leather-case-for-Hifiman-HM-901-HM901-/121341595789?pt=US_MP3_Player_Cases_Covers_Skins&hash=item1c4085d08d   anyone got one?   any others to recommend?

Love using my DX50 with Epiphany O2, however when I reach to my bag to use it , it's invariably already switched on thanks to the silly push button. Anyone have any tricks to avoid this ? It's the amps only flaw IMHO Should I get a hard case ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just had a bit of a shock after I burnt a compilation CD for my friend. To check it would work ok I put it in my Linn Ikemi CD player ( 12 years old) and pressed play Good grief the sound was so much better than via my Audiolab MDAC , (Dell XPS desktop i7 , 12 gig ram, win7 64) it just sounded...

So both the headphone out and line out are broken No one in the UK seems to want to fix it. Head Direct only want to know if I can show receipt, I bought it second hand.   For a manufacturer to refuse to repair a product three years old is just not acceptable. It inspires no confidence in...

Hi, the market has just exploded in the last 18 months, quite hard to cope with it all. ( I use ES10s (with ESW9 pads) and DT1350 only on the move,)   My 801 line out collapsed on me today, the headphone socket broke months ago. I have asked Head Direct if they can do the repair, but I am not...

Sorry for my newbie style question but I really don't want to ruin my new and shiny ATH-ES10s.   I have received some ESW9 pads (as recommend on the main ES10 thread)- how do I change them over.?   I know with DT1350s I can just gently pull them off   help please??!!!!!

I wanted to get some opinions on how the C4 stacks up against the newer 'SuperDaps' like DX100, AK100 etc    It certainly still catches my eye, and compared to some DAPs seems like quite good  value these days.   How foolish would I be buying one now? Having to convert my 24/96 flacs to...
