I’ve recently had some problems trying to adjust the azimuth of a walkman. The screw shows serious wear and I could not turn it, no matter which screwdriver I use, so I started to ask myself if I have the proper screwdriver. We all know that there are slot and cross screwdriver, but do you know which […]

  I just want to spread the word about some excellent headphone amplifiers, DACs and other nice gear that one guy is building by himself at Portugal. He is called Miguel but he is known as MFSP Designs, a one-man company that makes handcrafted gear with extraordinary quality. I have not had the chance to test anything […]

Recently I have been given (yes, for free!) this wonderful device. I have never had a preamp and I confess I didn’t even knew what they were for.

Your walkman can be excellent as a source but a wrong headphone can make you hear not-so-good (or actually bad) sound. So, which ones are better? Don’t miss my latest […]
