Well, John already reported about most of the controls in his initial post on this topic. And that certainly helped. There is one side of the device which could be thought of like the spine of a book. It has no controls and is completely covered by the leather casing. If you have the ha-2 lying on

Interesting. I wonder if it would help the sound on my Nexus 6. Something should! Oppo makes a pair of headphones that seem to be quite favorably reviewed, at least by amazon purchasers. These are the pm-3, and they sell for a cool 400 bucks, so not cheap. One reviewer even compared them

I'm looking to buy another set of headphones - can't have enough headphones around the place - so I may look at those. Only a personal view of course but they're going to have to be pretty good to come anywhere near the B P7. On 14/02/2016 6:36 AM, Mary Otten wrote: Well, since I have
