[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1454940122' post='2974385'] A sad tale indeed, but for top-quality leads and cables one need look no further than our own obbm of this parish. [url="http://www.rock-wire.uk.com/"]http://www.rock-wire.uk.com/[/url] All of my many leads and cables are from obbm and over the years I have had NOT ONE single problem with them. Yes, I am doing this. It's happening. PS: Thanks for naming the shop, by the way. Unlikely ever to go there, but definitely not now. [/quote] Expect a close up review of OBBM's cables soon! I have the camera set to macro!

If it is a PB70-US model, then you can find Wilkinson Tuning Keys on ebay that are a great upgrade and drop straight on like-for-like, if Raggy can't help.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1454884970' post='2973967'] You read my response to your question in the thread you started in this section? [/quote] I have now! Crickey, that's a beast!

You guys are awesome. Thank you! I even thought about taking the line out of a Zoom recorder (which is live all the time) and mixing that in to my earphone mix. I might try it any way, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Another question for IEM users. Are ACS the only company to offer 'ambient mics' in their in-ears? The reason for my question is in wondering if anyone makes a headphone amp/mixer with stereo ambient mics actually installed in the kit. I suspect demand would be limited but I am intrigued anyway.

[quote name='40hz' timestamp='1454859533' post='2973611'] I love TC gear (pedals are fantastic } but didn't even think to check out the BH series as I thought it might share tonal similarities with it's bigger brother the RH (quite vintagey and tubey). Seems this isn't the case judging from your review and general consensus online, The toneprint feature and the way the EQ works with the cut and boost being different frequencies seems very well thought out. Not to mention 550w. Good call Dood! On mention of Glock, seems perfect but out of my price range sadly! [/quote] Thank you 40Hz! - Yes, indeed the RH series has a nod towards valve amplifier simulations but the BH is a different beast. No power management as it isn't articulating the characteristics of a valve power section and the top and bottom end reaches further in the BH. The 'all dials at 12' setting has got to be a favourite amongst the 'clean' amps I've had the pleasure of reviewing, but I'd like to play some more with the toneprints to get 'my kind' of bite (watch this space) but it's a very capable amplifier indeed. I think the other point I'd make is that it's not a'cheaper little brother' to the RH either. And it has a tuner on board. One less box to carry! ha!

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1454861669' post='2973643'] Reidmar/used HD350 [/quote] Oh the Reidmar 750! That's a crazy loud amplifier and stays clean up the dial.

Throw in the TC BH 500 or BH800 to the mix too. very clean sounding but if you want you can dial in a bit of TonePrint sounds too including compression or overdrive if you find that you miss it for the odd song.

Thank you BassChat, your answers o my question are actually brilliant and spot on as usual. However, due to my slightly lazy attitude to typing last night and very possibly posting in the wrong forum, I've kinda asked the wrong question. So, here's what I should have asked: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Are there any decent (and preferably portable) headphone amps that offer more than a rudimentary EQ on board for the [i]global[/i] sound? Or to put it another way, I want to be able to 'EQ' everything going out to the headphones. This would include aux in, MP3 in and other instruments should the unit accept those inputs. Even better, would be the inclusion of a limiter too. - Like an IEM system without all the wireless gubbins. Something that can power high impedance cans as well as IEMs. Am I looking at a channel strip with a stereo headphone out?[/font][/color]

Anytime!

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1454771628' post='2972844'] It does say: 'Please note, due to the large number of uncontrollable variables involved here, this is not a scientifically rigorous test, but a rough indicator.' [/quote] I didn't see that bit. Hmmm... clever reverse psychology. It appears I don't need hearing aids, but better glasses!!!!!!!!

The test, I suppose is pretty meaningless if you are using listening equipment that isn't calibrated. Laptop speakers, ear buds and even some professional 'cans' do not accurately reproduce sound as it is at source and thus could have the effect of boosting or cutting those high frequencies - in fact any across the range.

It's a new year clear out for me too. Mostly, something else is on the way in, depending on what I am doing musically I suppose, but I think this may be the beginning of a more serious enforced downsizing. There's nothing I really need at the moment..well.. maybe a Gen3 BTII.. oh ..it's starting already... ha ha
