    Looks like only the 880 is available. When I enter 990 it says "page not found"

    Which Grados should I get

    Now thinking of getting the higher end SR1 or RS2 to replace my bookshelf speakers, B&W 601s. Should be an interesting search

    Which Grados should I get

    Haven't been on here for a few years, so pardon the absence. I have the urge to get a decent set of Grados; did some looking thourgh the "search" feature but found nothing up to date. Listen to classical, symphonies, jazz and female jazz vocals through an analog system--no headphone amp...

    suggestions for amp for iPod Nano??

    Sorry--have several but all older with the click wheels.  So would use my LODs from ALO   Went on Amazon site and that amp no longer there.  Cheapest one it shows is $400+

    suggestions for amp for iPod Nano??

    Thought I'd see what recommendations I could get for an amp for my Nanos.  Had the iBasso T1 which fit the Nano perfectly, but wondering if there was anything newer that would be a good fit.   Ideas???

    Which Ray Samuels amp?

    For the LOD I'd look at something from ALO. Again,no need to spend $200 for the cable (although admittedly I did several times) but his cable for around $100 is also very nice. Up to you but if you're dropping 300-400for the amp it's nice to have high quality cabling to go along with it

    Which Ray Samuels amp?

    I've owned Tomahawk, Predator, Hornet Sr-71 (original) and Mustang  over the past eight or so years and I can tell you ray is a fantastic person to deal with.  Answers his own phone, even and always ready to help.  and has been said here, any of his amps are killer.  If you go with the Tomahawk...

    Whiplash - have they gone missing?

    those of you who have been on here for about six-seven years--does the name Xin Feng ring bells???  He who was a genius building Supermacro and Reference amps but would never respond to emails, then suddenly one bright day your orde would show up.  Then one day he vanishes into thin air??  Good...

    Portaphile Thread

    Quote: Six or so years ago when Cesar first introduced the Portaphile, then the Portaphile Maxxed ( which I still own and dearly love) there were huge discussions on batteries and battery life.  One member (Romanee) posted the benefits of LiPo batteries from Thomas Distributing as being...

    Reply to review by 'tnmike1' on item 'ALO audio 22awg OCC Cryo Dock'

    I've owned many of ALO's cables. And yes, Takato14, $110 to me is little money when you have 400-500 invested in a good portable amp. I've spent about $195 for ALO's higher end cables and they truly make a huge difference in performance. This one for $110 is a steal

    This may be a little known secret but I called Westone to have custom tips made for my UM3X and asked if those tips woud fit my Etys.  They responded telling me that while the tips would not fit the Etys they could make customs specifically for the Ety as well.  The lady said it was not...
