I use Norton at home and on 20 computers at work. Very pleased. Never had a virus get through. Nick

My 570 drives Senns 497s, Grado SR80s and Koss Porta Pros with plenty of volume. Now if your using HD600s with your 570, (which I have not tried) I suspect you would have trouble. Nick

Quote: Originally posted by BoardC3 Hey im finally about to buy my first headphone setup complete with amp. Ive decided to buy the Grado SR-325's after owning the Grado SR-60's and Senn 580s. Now I was wondering what to do about an amp for this. I want something that will be good from the...

Quote: Originally posted by daycart1 I got the same result from the dvd composite video RCA out, and I have no a/v receiver. I'll try the forum DA suggested. Thanks for the suggestions. I might simply need to get a new TV--my clunker is 5 years old. Some older TVs need an adapter...

Bookshelf plus a powered sub will almost always sound better than floor standers. A couple of reasons for this. One, the powered sub will reproduce the low frequencies better than the floor standers. Two, since your amp and speakers are relieved of the low frequency duties the mids and highs...

Quote: Originally posted by Xander You must've wondered this at one point, and I still can't figure it out. Short of lack of popularity, which could explain it. Somehow, we're able to buy complicated CD playing units, surround sound receivers, power amplifiers, preamps, all at relatively...

Quote: Originally posted by Tuberoller I checked and the savings is only $35.00 after shipping.. Just curious, can you do the math for me? Jan sells the HD600 for $220 including shipping while Headroom sells for $299 plus shipping. Even if you dont get the $20 rebate from Jan it...

Quote: Originally posted by malcolmcrowe thanks for all your comments ya, i was wondering if i would need to get a couple or a few pair of phones. what amp would you guys recomend for the type of uses i would be dealing with? I have a Corda Headamp. Works great with both Senns and...

Quote: Originally posted by .tt First good pair of headphones ever. Wow, I'm loving this so much. I have a pair that I use with my portable. Great sound and very easy to drive. Enjoy. Nick

The thing we all need remember is that the enjoyment and appriciation of the sound coming from a loud speaker or headphone is completely subjective. What sounds good to me may very well not sound good to you. Every speaker and headphone is a compromise in design. There is no perfect headphone...

Quote: Originally posted by crezyelmo I was wondering how bad the headphone out on my Denon AVR-2801 receiver is. It sounds great to me, but how much better could a seperate "headphone amp" be. My source is a Pioneer DVR-333 DVD/CD player connected to it through digital coax. This setup...
