Calling all kind-hearted LCD3 owners who love their vintage integrateds, and are willing to share their experiences.   It would be a wonderful thing to have an 'all in one' that powers both speakers and headphones well. But the LCD3 IMO is a very picky headphone, and takes just the right amp...

Interested in the new RWA offerings, but haven't found anything on the net yet.   Has anyone ventured? I'd hope to hear about the suitability of the Bellina HPA to the LCD3, if possible.

Hi... as the title says, I'm looking for recommendations for a set of wireless headphones under $250. Preferably but not necessarily open phones.   I assume not many will have experience with these things, but figure it's worth asking just in case.   Cheers!

Something strange is happening in iTunes and I wonder if it is a know issue:   Last night my playlists began to change by themselves. I would open one playlist and it would contain a whole stack of songs that never belonged to that playlist. I've looked at most of the playlists and and it is...

I'm keen on buying a portable for work, and wonder if there is any near-consensus about which portable all-in-one DAC/amp is a great match for the JH13.   Any advice would be appreciated.   Cheers,   Dave

Hello,   Recently aquired a Grado HP2, but this morning heard them rattling. It looks like the cap on the back of the left driver has fallen off.   I'm looking for instruction on how to open the enclosure, to see if it's an easy fix.   I hope so!

Noob question here:   Can any current-production 6SN7 tubes run with the NOS champ?   Cheers,   Dave

Which of you buggers bagged this bargain? I thought I couldn't afford 'em, but should have bid.

I've decided to post comparative impressions of two similarly priced headphone systems: the new Beyerdynamic T1 fed by the highly regarded SPL Auditor, versus the Stax Omega 2 Mark 1 fed by a Minivan-built Exstata solid-state amplifier. For the most part, it will not be a systematic comparison...

Hello, I was lucky enough to win an auction for an SR200 with HP1000 drivers. I wonder if there may be suggestions for an appropriate amplifier - budget $600 - 700. Cheers, Dave

Selling off the modest Stax rig and looking for a modest dymanic rig. Need suggestions for an amplifier that is able to get the most out of 600 ohm Beyers and, if possible, Grados too. $700 max. Someone suggested Maple Tree EAR +HD (the lowest model) as a good compliment to Grados, but...

What amps are 'gold for grados'? Cheers, Dave

There's a chance I could pick up an Auditor fairly cheaply, and I'm wondering if it would be overkill for a pair of Grados, or a nice match (Magnum enhanced MS2i - 32 ohm). Auditor/Phonitor owners' opinions highly appreciated. Also, would my TripleFi10's be overwhelmed? ... they seem...

Wondering about suggestions for the best amp possible under $750 that will bring out the best in high impedance phones like the DT880/600 with ease, but also sound great with low impedance cans like Grado. This would be my first foray into desktop amps (non-electrostatic ie). I'm sort of...

I'm coming to the end of my tether in searching for a neutralish all-rounder, and wonder if there are any other suggestions; or if I should settle. Have tried K701 (not amped to potential, lacking a bit in bottom end and fullness), MS-Pro (slight bass-cloud, not altogether neutral, and...

Just wondering if anyone has had success with aftermarket cables on the TripleFi. I've had to replace the stock cable twice in the last 10 months or so. I was hoping for something stronger that will still fit into the TFP box (not sure if this will be possible with a thicker cable), and will...

Can any kind person recommend a protective case for 120g iPod classic that will clip onto a belt? Our local shops have plenty of cases but hardly anthing with a belt clip. Cheers, Dave

Hello, I'm looking for a larger ipod... upgrading from a 4gb nano. Even if I don't intend to get an iMod in the (near) future, is it still worth hunting around for a 4th or 5th generation iPod? That is, is the sound quality of the Wolfson DAC very noticeably superior to that contained in...

I'm wondering if there is anything wrong with my new MS-Pros: they have a very distinct emphasis in the mid-bass: bass guitars and kick drums are loud and somewhat indistinct. A previous pair I heard (through the same amp) seemed more balanced, with tight, deep bass, not overly emphasised...

Which competitor is best in terms of sound quality? Any advice appreciated. Cheers, Dave

Hello, first post here. I wonder if anyone here can tell me whether the Hornet is a good match with Senn HD650. Is it possible to drive these phones well with a sub-$400 amp. All suggestions most welcome. Cheers, Dave
