I have been deprived recently.

Been in Cyprus to sort out the house I will retire to in the autumn.

We had hoped to install and ADSL connection in the house very quickly, but it didn't happen. Bureaucracy!!

I took with me a laptop and a Squeezebox boom hoping for my favourite UK and European radio stations and the ability to play my FLACs.

But I was reduced to silence and a tranny!

Ah well back to my Quart Speakers, Quad Amp and Standac. I can breath again.

I have been wondering about some decent headphones, and looked longing at the Stax for years, but they are awfully expensive.

Are they really that much better?
