Looks like it was just a typo on a popular headphone website... it has been fixed since my initial post.

What is the 'Denon' that you guys are talking about? I plan on using the Game Theater XP. For those not familiar, it is essentially a dummy card that attaches to an EXTERNAL box. That should hopefully help eliminate noises from my PC.

Quote: If that's the case, then get the Creek, since the RA-1 is overkill for a soundcard. I don't understand what you mean by 'overkill'. I can get both amps for the same price.

I'm getting the grado 225s. I don't see the need for crossfeed in my situation (3D games, Dolby Headphone, I like the 'in my head' sound). I've narrowed my selection down to the RA-1 and Creek OBH (the less expensive one). I do realize that one is portable and the other is not; this does not...

It sounds like I can't go wrong with the Creek unit. I really like the price range. Last chance for someone to convince me otherwise..

The Grado SR-80s were my initial gateway to the world of high-end headphones. I've sold my 80s with the idea of going to something better. I'm pretty confident that my next set of headphones will be the Grado 225/325s or Sennheiser 580/600s (with an inclination towards the Grados). I figure that...
