    An interesting find.

    SO I found this today in the classifieds not knowing exactly what it was for about 10 secs. Then it hit me. If I not mistaken, is this box essentially a safer way to listen to headphones of all impedances on a speaker amp? Or am I misinterpreting this things use cases?

    Oldies but goldies: looking for a decent amp for B&W P6. Schiit an option?

    Hi there, Hope this is the right place to ask such a question, as said in title. Since my Marantz pre-amp is failing on me, I'm on the lookout for a new pre-amp, later on perhaps a speaker amp as well. My installation is second hand and, apart from the P6 speakers, quite budget oriented. No...

    Hello! I intend on purchasing a DAC amplifier soon to plug my Sony MDR-1AM2 and other Hi-Resolution sets into in the future.

    Not sure where else to post this, but my SRM-1 Mk2 Pro has developed an infernal left-channel hum/buzz (sounds like a very quiet 60hz sawtooth wave) that is dependent on position of the volume potentiometer. I Thought it was a problem with a filter cap at first (electrolytic, installed a few...
