Many years ago (Circa 2000) I paired a set of Yamaha NS200 with my Rotel components and I really thought these were awesome Now many years on my Uncle still has them but are they a good speaker? Two way 6 Ohm I recall and they seem to be selling for $225 on Ebay

Sometimes surfing the internet does not always yield the required results I am trying to find out without opening the device if the Topping A90 has fuses that could cause the unit not to play through the balance circuit but work perfectly fine single ended? If anybody can provide some guidance...

Generally when I buy a new set of iem's, I try not to open the supplied tips and use others so that if at some time I want to sell the iem's, the tips are pristine. However, the IEM market seems to be very slow at present. I did buy the Fiio FH7 iems a couple of years back which came with a...

I see these are quite cheap on Linsoul and may be worth a try, the MKI sells for $90 I did see one of our members selling Tubes for R3000 a set, this is not the league I want to get into but the MKI may power my HD600's nicely?

Hi guys I have recently bought the IE 200 during the BF specials and while they are quite good, it made me wonder how the IE 600's sound. I can watch review after review on YouTube but it is not the same as getting an opinion off a member from this forum. Please if anyone can chip as they are...

The other day my neighbour popped by and we started talking about audio. He asked if I knew where he could get his amplifier serviced here in the Helderberg as his volume switch doesn't alter his volume. He said it is the type that just keeps turning for 360' with no definitive stop or start...

I have liked the Hifiman EF400 for sometime now and I was kindly allowed to borrow one for two weeks It is elegant and sounds great with my Hifiman HE400SE's and IEM's but when I connect my Sennheiser HD600's with the 4.4mm balanced cable the Sennheiser's sound almost like I have put some...

Recently or earlier this year E-piphany and Wootware had these on sale for about R6500 and they went back up to R10k I have the HD 600's and enjoy them but was wondering if the HD 660's are better as they can be driven from mobile devices. Can anyone near Epping or Strand please help with a...

As a spin off from Kamikazi's reply at Lease or rent of hifi equipment about demonstrations it got me thinking about the ethics of going to a dealer to demo their equipment so you can source the equipment later either in the secondhand market or through a direct import. In my opinion the...

Recently Linsoul had a sale and I wanted a pair of the Moondrop Kato but with Linsoul you need to order over a threshold to get free shipping by courier. I added the Quarks to my cart as they were cheap and cheerful, plus I had seen another YouTuber rate them as a good neutral reference point...

I don't know why but I am drawn to these headphones, does anyone have any experience with them? Are they worth the over R20k asking price?

I have the Ayre Codex currently and it has a different configuration for balanced output in that there are two 3.5mm stereo jacks unlike other DAC/amps I have seen Anyway, I cut the plug off my Sennheiser cable and took it around to the electronics shop around the corner, only to be greeted by...

I am considering both pairs for when I go for a walk, can anybody offer an educated comment on the best option? My work phone is iOS and my personal phone is Samsung This review doesn't help me and has too much info - Apple AirPods Pro (2nd generation) vs Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

There are a few classified posts with "NOS" in them, I searched the forum for a meaning and found more general discussions but nothing that told me what "NOS" meant. Google gave me this - The NOS stereo technique is a method of capturing stereo sound. The Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS...

I assume that this has been covered in the past but please humour me. I am finding that when I use a balanced connection with either the Focal Elegia or the Sennheiser HD600's the music seems to have more depth or dynamic range. Is this a placebo effect or is this a genuine difference? I can...

As per the description like the 6.35mm to 3.5mm adapter is there one for the 4.4 to 2.5mm balanced cable and are they easy to find in South Africa?

In a spontaneous moment I just bought one at Cash Converters. I was excited to get home and load all my tracks on it until I loaded them. When I synced my library to the new iPod from my Mac mini, only tracks that I purchased prior to subscribing to Apple Music are now on the iPod...

I am by no means an expert and I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD600's connected to a Mac mini. That combination is fine but I have a feeling the headphones need more power to get the best out of them. There is just enough volume but for example I feel there is a loss of a bass and a...

Is there such a thing? A bit like cash converters but for AV equipment
