Hi Group,   I didn't know where to post this, so but the it is a comment on my Woo Audio 6SE   It's pretty new, about 1.5 months old.  I'm hearing static lately, it sounds like crumpling paper.  I've looked online, I could only find this 'sound' to be linked with resistors going bad...

I'd like to attend, please count me in.   Thanks, Andre

Yes I'm going to be there... at least I hope so! I'm not sure what to expect... should I wait to buy my DAC , get one at the meet?? Also, someone take a look at this Yamaha that I have, lots of specs on this page, it sounds good with my Grados SR80s... but is this any good for a headphone...

Well , let's say this entire project is 'good' quality for as little as possible I think the headphones are a good deal for under a hundred The Amp was under a hundred How about we find a tube preamp under a hundred? Possible? Can't be a DIY Kit, although I'd buy one assembled...

Forgot to mention, this is my first setup where I'm trying to get actual quality! Headphones, amp, cabling, MP3s, etc thanks Andre

First post here, great forum. I've done some reading, but I realize there's way too much to digest so here goes... I decided to purchase some Grado SR80's for my first headphones. This was more or less the headphone budget. Modding taking place currently (quarter mod, flats off replaced with...
