Re: Car Dashcams

One for DQ? I'm not aware of any legal responsibility in the UK for handing over footage. However I would say that if I had an accident that was my fault I would give as honest and truthful account of events as I could it to the insurance companies.

Works very well with an AQ Dragonfly running from my Huawei Android phone. Or via an ancient Sanusi amp.
I think I would need a headphone amp as the Samsung S4 sounds pretty weedy with P7 in the shop.

Re: Moving to 4.0 or 5.0 or 7.0 from 2.0

Re: Headphones

The accuracy of Grado makes them a good choice for picking fine detail out of a mix. I mainly use my SR225e's for Netflix watching (laptop +AQ Dragonfly), for soundtracks and effects. I seem to have acquired several different headphones which I use for specific purposes according to mood: AKG K601 ...

Not a clue about John Lewis, didn't know they did hi-fi, BUT any retailer = slurp, unless they do in house product and keep prices as low as possible as in Richer Sounds. Superfi d...
