Tír Na HiFi

I am downsizing everything including our hi-fi system and am wondering if it would be satisfactory to replace our system with a headphone amp and cans. What are the better products within a fairly decent budget? Thanks Hi Rocker, I've been a Stax headphone user for a few years now and I've gone thr...

Hi, I got vintage amp Kenwood A-3X with S-3X speaker set (Barn find you could say) I gave it to my son to get him into hi-fi, will pairing this amp with modern speakers improve the sound, or it is just waste of money, I thought about Diamonds 220 they are only 208€ on richer sounds, any thoughts on...

I've had plenty of gear come and go over the years but one stands out for me as the most disappointing - the Airtight ATM2. A highly regarded amp and brand but I could just never get this sounding right and believe me not one stone was left unturned. I tried different speakers, cables, amps, sources...

Never heard of them but they do look interesting. Clearly the onus is on you now to buy a pair and report back here.

Huge thanks to Fran for keeping it going over the years.
