Thanks Ultra!
 
The new Taboo MK III is 4.6 W into 8 ohms for speakers. I need to find the HP output chart.

 
I was planning on getting a Taboo as well for my orthos and speakers but then I finally ended up ordering a custom build from Glenn with 8W/channel. Can't wait to receive it (ordered it 4 months ago, will probably take 2 more months)

Thanks ! The table is very strong, no problem with this

The amps are design to use with speakers, but work very well with headphone !! Much better than my previous GD-Audio Phénix, which was good, but do not sing like the 2A3 !!
I just order other tubes to try

At the bookstore with the Apple iPod 160GB, Sony PHA-1 iDevice DAC/amp, and Sony MDR-1R (in silver).


My vote for this Month's Most Metrosexual rig.
Very intrigued to know how the PHA-1 performs.

Flip a coin on which is better. Glenn and Steve are both fantastic engineers.

I may have to pick up a pair of LCD-2's just because Steve made the amp specifically with them in mind. I am spending time playing with the Lucid mode's and it is quite a difference in sound characteristics. Steve said depending on the track Lucid on or off would be more enjoyable. So true. On the right tune it is incredible. On the wrong one you are in a tunnel. It is fun having the options close at hand.
 
Then there is the whole balanced cable issue....Right now I only have SE so that is another part on the list to acquire.
 
Always something around here!

Yeah its a marble chopping board! 
 
You need a lot of isolation when your bed moves as much as mine :wink: I like to wear headphones when I'm on the job.

Very nice! Audio GD NFB-12 with the HD800's? And what CD player is that?

(Sorry, I'm on my phone, it's very difficult to remove the quoted pics)

I bought HD202s a few months ago and i wasnt impressed at all with the build quality / comfort.  They sounded ok, but didnt hold up at all.  I have to recable them if i want to ever use them again and its tough to justify $20 in cables and connectors for headphones i didnt much care for to begin with.

I think monoprice MEP-839 are the best headphones in that price point.  


Cool, because I'll never purchase a Monoprice product as long as I live.

 
Ok I'll bite... why not?
