I have a question for the Sony HD3, HD5, Vaio owners out there with Sonicstage 3.2 who have been ripping CD's at the new 320bps atrac3plus bit rate. I have an HD3 and a Vaio and Sonicstage 3.2. I have ripped a number of CD's at the new 320 bit rate, but when I transfer them to the HD3 or...

Hi, I just took delivery (today) of my new EE CDP - and although there has been absolutely no burn in, I have to say it sounds absolutely fantastic. I am playing it through a new Scott Nixon DAC to a reasonably new Headroom Maxed Out Home (Ref module), so there's evry chance for the result to...

I'm just starting in the DIY interconnect world, and am currently aiming to do so without solder (never soldered in my life, and I'd probably make a mess). I have the Cardas solder free (crimped) RCA plugs, and good Belden cable coming. However, I was also hoping to make RCA to mini cables, as...

Hi, Just wondered if I was the only one who has experienced long delays to their IPOD order created back in May (when Dell were doing a great offer on the player and shipping). I have dutifully confirmed to Dell each time they ask me that I wish to continue with the order, but the...

OK, I admit this is a really dumb question for me to ask.... I am about to sell my ER-4's...and I suddenly realised I do not know whether they are B's, P's or S's.... The little Users manual in the box with them is headed ER-4B/ER-4S so I guess I should assume they are not the 'P'...
