    Sennheiser HD650 - The classic beauty in a grey dress Appreciation thread!

    Hi folks. I'm another HD 650 owner and a fan too. I power them from a Project Ember MkII fed by an ODAC XL. I've owned countless headphones and heard even more and, while the Senn's aren't the best for everything, they're the closest I've came to a satisfctory all-rounder. The Project Ember...

    Ryan's Headphone Review Thread

    I just wanted to congratulate Ryan on a great review. Well done. I own various headphones and amps and I'm very (too?) active on Head-fi. My favourite set-up is the HD 650 paired with my ODAC / O2. Superb, particularly with more acoustic/ folky music. I also have a pair of AKG Q701's but they...

    Spec me a 500GB SSD.

    I hope nobody minds me tagging on to this thread but I have a similar question & don't think it warrants a new thread. I'm in the same boat as the OP but I own a late 2012 Mac mini i5. Will the Crucial drive be suitable for me too? I'm mainly running Logic Pro X on this machine & the read &...

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    I hear it's quite complicated to set up though. It seems it's ability to alter the SNR is it's USP.

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    I still haven't fixed my issues. I've read up on the Airport Express and it's not without it's issues either. Reading through other threads in this forum there seems to be a consensus that the Billion BiPAC 7800N router might do the job. People are particularly enthusiastic when it's used in a...

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    So what now? The BT hub works well enough as long as you're fairly close to it but anything more than 30' away and it's no dice. I'm thinking of following Bertles suggestion above but I'll need to get the signal out of the house first ;) Would an Airport Extreme do the business? Again, it gets...

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    I agree. It should at least work right out of the box.

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    Great advice mate, clearly you know your stuff. Sadly, the router is already on its way back :(

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    No I didn't. That might have been an idea when I first opened the box but I eventually couldn't even gain access to the web GUI so I think a firmware upgrade was impossible. I need to get a repeater or something.

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    Never mind, I give up. I got home from work today determined to put things right. I had made a mistake during the initial setup and managed to get it hooked up. I rebooted the mac while making a cup of tea. When I came back to the Mac? No connection. I discovered the ADSL light on the router...

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    Sorry folks but I need help. My pages are loading very slowly now. I've tried Firefox & Safari and in both pages seem to take an eternity to load. It was never fast before (due to my pitiful BT line speed), but it's glacial now. This is the case with my Mac mini, iPad 3 & iPhone 4S. Also, I'm...

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    Hello people. I didn't want to start a new thread just for this so here goes. I've installed the Asus router and the range is fantastic. However the actual speed seems to have dropped when compared with my previous BT router. I've been unable to set up the new router using Ethernet as it keeps...

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    Many thanks for all the help and advice guys. In the end I went for the Asus DSL-N55U. I set it all up last night and it's wonderful. It reaches right out into the garden so come the summer I can sit out and listen to my favourite radio stations in the sun. Does anyone know of a weatherproof...

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    Thanks. Actually, that model is on the list. I read mixed reviews of it though, particularly on Amazon where both it and it's big brother have some incredibly unfavourable reviews. Will this Asus replace my Homehub 2 or run alongside it?

    Increase wireless range by replacing BT Homehub 2?

    Hi folks. As the title says really. I live in the sticks and use BT for my Internet. My Homehub 2 is very unreliable and the range is terrible. Can I replace it with a more modern and advanced router such as the current crop of dual-band models? What should I buy with a maximum outlay of £100? I...

    I think Back to Black is a tremendous album and one that wouldn't have been realized if she'd been whiter than white. My thought go to her family. Just sayin'
