Hi all
Was just wondering about something. I have a very high quality USB headroom
headphone amplifier of about 10 years old. This little amp has a USB input.
I was wondering if it is possible by using some kind of adaptor to use this
little amp with my iphone 5s using the lightning connector.
Hi all
I'm in the market for a good quality set of desktop speakers This is strictly
for listening to music - definitely not a surround sound system!
One of the systems I am looking at is the Harmen Carden Soundsticks III. Does
anyone have this system and what are your thoughts? I realize th
My mistake regarding the spelling!
It should be Harman Kardon! Sorry all!

Hi all Im needing to record some vinyl records onto my computer mostly

Hi all
For those of you who might still remember my pair of B&W mm1 speakers
finally arrived today.
Getting started was rather straight forward. I simply connected up the two
speakers, connected it up to the power supply and plugged in the USB port.
Was a bit of a problem finding the powe
, because they have no tactile indication, and
because you have to reach for the speaker in order to use those controls. Plus,
with the remote you can move among tracks and stop playback. It's a very handy
little unit.
