When choosing an amp, is the idea to find an amp whose output Ω matches the headphone's Ω?
Resistance doesn't change if it is AC or DC. It is just pure resistance. Thus the term "DC Resistance" is a bit of a misnomer. Resistance just doesn't change with frequency, the definition of Resistance. When it changes with frequency, it is Impedance. Impedance is the combination of...- Head-Case

Information overload... Help needed with choosing DAP
Get an iPod Classic for the capacity and the UI, and use Apple Lossless for the sound quality. If you check back frequently, you may find a 160 GB iPod Classic in the refurbished lists on the Apple Store web site.- Head-Case

120GB+ & nice SQ?
I noticed that when Apple "updated" the iPod Classic, the old choice between the 80 GB and 160 GB was gone -- replaced with only a 120 GB drive. I quickly went to the Apple On-Line store, and bought a "refurbished" 160 GB iPod Classic. I should have bought two. I have a still very nice Gen...- Head-Case

Are mobile phone going to replace DAP's eventually??
I admit that when I was using my AT&T Nokia 6340i, it would run five or six days at home (DC suburbs) without being recharged, and seven to TEN days when I was working in Dallas or Las Vegas, and that was nice. Of course, when I was in rural areas, it might burn through two batteries a day, like...- Head-Case

I need a new mp3 player
I have to tell you, I have owned many, and finally bought an iPod. Say what you will, but the iPod wins, hands down, in almost every way. AAC encoding, long battery life, the iTunes store (where I have bought a mind blowing SIX songs I couldn't find on CDs), a user interface that means no one...- Head-Case

The Grado HF2--It's For Real
I JUST found out about these. I missed the HF1s because I don't check in often enough. I went right to TTVJ's web site and ordered them. I have never owned Grado phones, but I sure love the phono cartridges. I like my Decca cartridges more, but the cost difference is really so much it...- Head-Case

Recommendations on DJ Headphones
Well, I'm both an audiophile for longer than a broadcaster, and a radio broadcaster for over 26 years. The "classic" DJ headphones are Koss Pro-4AA (pronounced pro four double a). They seal well, and play loud. They don't sound bad, are inexpensive, and are built like a tank. The downside is...- Head-Case
