What exactly is different about these two portable amps? Why would you want one or the other?- drummerben04

MrSpeakers Alpha PRIME: Impressions and Discussion Thread
Thanks for sharing Dan! It blew me away how much you got out those fostex drivers. I'm glad you've decided to revisit planar magnetic technology. So a different technology is used on your alpha dogs?- drummerben04

Did Dan say his preferred cables to use on the Alpha Primes are the norne vanquish? Could be mistaken.- drummerben04

MrSpeakers Alpha PRIME: Impressions and Discussion Thread
This question might of already been brought up but too lazy to look through 66 pages. Can anyone recommend a portable amp that would bring out the Prime's full potential. Now the Alpha Primes are in no mean a portable headphone so to speak but I don't care at all. As long as they don't fall off...- drummerben04

$1000 budget, should I go open or closed?
I was wondering that question too. If the loss of imaging between a closed and opened is a huge difference. To answer that question now that I think about it, closed headphones have come a long way over the past decade. I'm more concerned about the sound quality than the build quality. Of coarse...- drummerben04

$1000 budget, should I go open or closed?
Thanks for replying Boffy! Wow, people can really hear open phones. It makes much more sense now that I think about it to get a closed back headphone. A lot of my music enjoyment is on the go, traveling. Ratio makes a good point that it's a lot better to hear the music than the 12 liter diesel...- drummerben04

$1000 budget, should I go open or closed?
Oh, haha, meant the LCD-2. My preferred sound signature is slightly warm, slightly recessed bass. I do not like the HD800's. From what I heard their colder headphones. A little to accurate for my cup of tea. One headphone that I've heard a lot of hype about though is the Alpha Prime's...- drummerben04

Haha, that's what he's doing duh! You think the Alpha Prime is a lot better than the Alpha Dog. Is it a right away notice the difference or subtle? From what I'm hearing people didn't think it could get any better and it just did.- drummerben04

MrSpeakers Alpha PRIME: Impressions and Discussion Thread
Thanks Matt! haha, I think I'm going to spend an extra $400 :) It'd be interesting to do a comparison of some of the other high end headphones. What I'm looking for is the most opened sounded closed headphones. I think the alpha primes are definitely on top of the list. Another ones the...- drummerben04
