Re: New Adventures in Chi-Fi

Earbud update - a few days further and the rwo sets of earphones are running-in nicely. The Hifi Walker A1 are in use with my tablet for Netflix duties and are proving themselves to be ideal for TV shows. The clear treble and solid bass makes for an excellent viewing experience and, in bed, the buds...

Re: Ethernet Cables

Best results I have had are with generic CAT8 cables where, I believe, each internal conductor is individually shielded. AudioQuest ethernet links are excellent, I have the Forest and Cinnamon in use, the latter giving the smoothest, most 'audiophile' performance. Long runs in-house between network ...

Jane 'At Home Live' (1977) https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SwkfMMRlL._SY355_.jpg A powerful act from the German 'Krautrock' period, Jane have a sound that is often compared to early Pink Floyd but to me it lies in a middle-ground between the classic heavy groove of Deep Purple and the psyched...

Re: New Adventures in Chi-Fi

The evil, twisted algorithms at Amazon have been up to their nefarious tricks again. The Netherlands branch has at the moment a short Spring Sale action with irresistable prices on articles you might just be wanting. Knowing that I had been busy with portable hifi, the ads for earbuds came rolling b...

Re: New Adventures in Chi-Fi

There are several Digital Audio Players almost identical to the Hifi Walker H2 on Amazon from names like Surfans and Mechen. Similar layout, casing, specs etc. Maybe they sound similar - probably depends on the DAC chip and headphone amp section. Anyway the new player and buds are maintaining my san...

Re: Your last listen

Sometimes, out of the blue, a little voice in the back of my head whispers insistently, "You should go and listen to ...." and this time it advised me to get out the one CD I have from 60's/70's Jazz-Rock pioneers Colosseum. This disc is one I purchased out of curiosity years ago and have ...

Re: New Adventures in Chi-Fi

Rediscovering the joys of a pocket MP3-player also led me back to in-ear bud-phones. In the early 2000's I went through a series of these from: Sony, Philips, Shure, Creative, Sennheiser, etc. It was a cheap way of varying my audio-hobby and a lot of fun. But through the years I appear to have lost,...
