help compiling a short list
Hi guys, Long-time audiophile here, who occasionally reads a headphone review, but it's my weakest spot. Ask me anything you like about valve amps etc - more my thing. Anyway, decided ''time for some better cans''. Weirdly, I have lots of decent headphone amplifiers. Right now, I'm sitting...- chrisjsmith11

missing link, a better amp?
Hi All, My first post hello ! 2 things before I start, just to fill in some background. 1) I am an out and out audio-nut (hate the word audiophile), but to date - not a headphone kind of guy. That is beginning to change. I mention this, to put the perspective that I have heard Grados...- chrisjsmith11
