Re: Yuin; little earbuds - big sound !
The in-ears I use are Sony MDR-EX650 http://www.head-fi.org/content/type/61/id/1465058/width/350/height/700/flags/LL These have a lovely solid brass shell and sound is very good. Sony's have a tendency towards overblown bass - but these rein that in somewhat to 'full' and just short of 'boom'. They...

Re: The Hi-Fi Industry and Hobby
Very interesting on the history of retailing I remember walking down Tottenham court road and looking at all the Hifi goodies in the 80s. I still think the Japanese were way ahead in the 80s I particular Technics decks and JVC VCR etc. never rated British companies much apart from speakers. Like the...

Re: Moving to 4.0 or 5.0 or 7.0 from 2.0
I bought a Marantz SR6010 for £480. I've initially set it up as a 7.0 system. Using EV Sentrys as fronts, a Linn Isobarik as the centre speaker, Saras as rears and Heybrook HB1's as sides. After watching an Our Brand is Crisis DVD on it my children declared that it was a waste of money. :grin: We'l...
