I know the DCM-370 has the Bur-Brown 20bit DAC's, HDCD Decoding, MultiBit D/A Converters and all but how is the DCD-1520? I'm not sure how old it is (really like to know); when it was introduced, but I heard it was quite a nice player in it's day (whenever that was?). I know that Denon's build...

I bought a y-adapter (mini-RCA) Gemini cable when I bought my Denon DR-M10 cassette deck to connect to my SL-CT470. I paid probably less than $10 for them so I'm thinking I'll need to upgrade them to par with my HD-580s and my sources. I'm thinking about those detailed Kimbers because I listen...

I own a Denon Cassette Deck (model DR-M10), and I don't have a dedicated amplifier for the HD580s that I've ordered. I have heard that some home systems power the HD580s well, but I was wondering if I would be missing a lot without a dedicated amp, like the JMT Cmoy that I have been interested...

In addition to the better suited sound of the SR60s for your musical taste - the grados are much more bright, bouncy, quick and just more exciting than the Sennheiser HD580s and most other Sennheisers. The HD580s are great headphones in themselves, but for reproducing a different category of...

For dance and other kinds of music requiring an extra amount of snap, bang, and excitement, but enough natural ambience and reproduction, the Grados are unparalleled price/performance wise. The widely trusted Grado Sr-60s are a very fine fit for your bill with about half of the price of the...

I thank you all very much for your very helpful replies. I will be forgeting about those Senns (they were just selling so cheap), and keeping my grado, and I'll be purchasing a cmoy, and, now, definitely with crossfeed. I wish I can someday be so generous as to give my time writing these sort...

I've heard some negative views on the HD570s, but I wonder if they were listening to an orchestra rather than a rock group. Well I've never heard the HD570s but the phones seem to have made it good with the headroom people, cause their review recommends them: "the HD 570 deliver a radiant...

I've decided to get a pair of Senn HD570s and ditch the SR60s, because I listen to classical. What kind of configured amp (from JMT) will go well with the HD570s - some configure CMoy or configured CHA-47, since my budget is restricted to about $80. How about the TA?

I'm stuck on what to get. I will be asking JMT to build either one but I can't decide on a few features one or the other lack. I listen to Classical (a lot of old recordings), own SR-60s and have a Denon DR-M10 cassette deck. Since I would want the seperation of a crossfeed, because I am most...

I own a Denon DR-M10 cassette deck and SR-60s with Pan. SLCT-470 to record cds to cassette. I listen to classical and so clarity, detail, seperation and honest reproduction is important. I currently own a cheap Gemini RCA-Mini Y-adapter and really want to upgrade. I heard the Kimbers were...

I'm ready to purchase my first amplifier for my Sr-60s, and I have a few things which I'd really appreciate if someone can tell me. The Sr-60s have the earmuffs cut out and I listen to classical music so clarity, detail, seperation and honest reproduction are important (a lot of old recordings)...

As he said in his Don Giovanni: "Those who have tasted the food of heaven do not eat mortal viands. Other, weightier concerns, another aim has brought me hither!" Thus spoke Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in his greatest (well be the greatest written) opera with his music; -Oh and what music...
