Great news. I've put off buying one for nearly a year thinking a new version might come along. Was about to go ahead and grab the Magni 2 as a birthday present to myself. Fantastic timing. I notice there is no "3" on the front of the amp in the product images. Does this reflect a new direction...

You mean the Pioneer and not the ELAC, right?   If so, that's generally a problem with the Andrew Jones Pioneer flootstanders (the whole series to an extent). To open up they really like a lot of power and pretty loud volumes. They're the most laid back in that Pioneer line and as you may have...

Awesome man.

Have you tried disabling all power saving features in Power Management? Specifically Power Options > Advanced Settings > USB > USB Selective Suspend There may be some other settings specific to your configuration. It sounds like a power state problem.   Also, if you can you might want to go...

Double post

Quote: Gemini is a DJ equipment company, similar to Stanton or Numark. They've been around a long time, 30 years or so, and have products on both ends of the price spectrum. Unlike say Pioneer they are solely focused on DJ equipment and these should fit in that category, closed with good...

Just looking for a quick answer. Or a general idea I'm buying my dad some headphones for his ham radio (ICOM ic-756pro) and am unsure of what sensitivity/ohm rating I should be looking for based on the specs of his radio.   I've read up on the subject of ohms/sensitivity before but...

I gotta agree. I never use my 280s because I find them unbearably uncomfortable. I don't generally like a heavy ear clamp but that isn't even my biggest issue with them. Out of all my headphones they are the only ones that apply pressure to the top of my head making my head tender/sensitive...

Quote: Very tempting.   I hate the way Shoreline emphasizes their no return/as-is closeout policy. That aside, for what it is worth I've never heard of anyone getting anything they would want to return from Shoreline

Not sure if this has been posted yet. Checked back a few pages   Brainwavz HM3 On-Ear Headphones $23.00 shipped with Amazon Prime. Sold by MP4 Nation   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067GNWB0/ref=ox_ya_os_product

Those are pretty different headphones.   The 701 would be the logical progression from the 272, if you like them and just want an upgrade. Of course, then you have to ask how much are you really upgrading going from 272 to 701. I'd say enough if you know you like the higher end AKG sound.  ...
