Where can I order this from? Having trouble finding it for sale on a trustworthy sight.

Anybody have a pair of these that they want to sell?

Midland as well.

I've been offline for a while because my video card in my computer died on friday. I went out to a bar thursday night with a few friends and had a pretty good time. Thank you all for the birthday wishes.

I seriously doubt having preamp outs would have much (if any) effect on the SQ of the amp.

Unfortunately due to some things that have come up (no longer working, enrolled in college full time) I no longer can attend the meet. Sorry guys.

Stay away from Logitech. Their speakers are overrated pieces of crap. I would try to find a 5.1 Klipsch Promedia system. Its to bad Klipsch discontinued all the Promedia sets except for the 2 channel systems. I am pretty happy with my Promedia 2.1s. They certainly are not audiophile speakers but...

Yeah I'd say try different tubes. My limited experience with EH tubes has not left me with a very good opinion of them.

Another question for ya, what type of sound signature do you prefer? Bright and detailed, Aggressive and forward, Warm and laidback, etc.? The chaintech would be a good choice if you want to use an external dac. The chaintech drives suck but just get the latest ones from VIA.

What type of budget are you working with?

About $5000.

There are only two headphone amps I know of that can properly drive the K1000s. That is the Singlepower Extreme and the Dynahi. Unfortunately the Dynahi's sound signature is IMO not a good match for the K1000s at all. The Extreme's sound signature IMO complements the K1000s very well.

The Sony MDR-R10 is the most comfortable headphone I've ever put on my head.

I had the chance to hear both at the December South Florida meet last year. Comparisons done mostly with HD650 w/Equinox and Sony MDR-R10. The Extreme was the stock version with Tung-Sol 5998s as outputs and a Ken-Rad Vt-231 as input. Let me start off by saying that both are excellent amps from...

Happy Birthday!
