Do you have any comparison to a desktop amplifier?  The 650s don't seem to do that well underpowered.

How is the C5 with the HD650's?  Has anyone tried that yet?

The Sunrise is miles ahead of the bravo.  I modded my bravo, and it still does not compare to the Sunrise ii.  The bravo really struggles when faced with headphones that are hard to drive, like the fostex t50rp or AKG k702s.  The sunrise is putting out almost a watt in that range, and drives...

1. Modded Fostex t50rp (bmf's DBV #3) 2. Denon D2000 3. Grado SR125i with L-Cush Tape mod

How does the V3 compare to desktop tube amps?  Like the Wa6, Ming Da MC 84C07 MKII or Project Sunrise II.

Would the WA6 work well with modded Fostex t50rps?

Nope.  It seems to have gone away now.  

I was going to the tape input on the receiver because that was what I used with my other turntable.  I switched it to phono and It sounds much better.  However, the RCA to Phono cable that I am using only has 5 pins instead of the 7 that are supposed to go into it.  Will that make a difference...

I have had my fiio e7 for 7 months now, and today I am experiencing a problem when using it undocked with the e9.  There is static in the right ear no matter if it is plugged in to a source or not.  The static also almost cuts over the signal as well, but the left ear is  just fine.  This is...

I recently upgraded my turntable from a sony one, to the Pro-ject essential turntable.  The receiver that I am using is a Beomaster 2400. I set the turntable up, have everything connected and grounded correctly.  For some reason I am getting a really weak and somewhat distorted sound.  It is all...

Thanks.  I will look into Technics.

Ah ok.  Are there a lot of maintenance issues when it comes to turntables?  I have not really had to do anything to my Sony one, but I have not really used it much.

I was thinking something below $200.  I am also new to vinyl.  How exactly does the drive type change the soundstage?  I thought that was pretty much determined by the headphones.  I have a bunch of older vinyl albums from the 70s, but also bought some more recent vinyl, like American Football...

As of right now I have a Sony PS-LX250H turntable and am looking to upgrade.  I am using an old B&O set from the 70s as the output.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated :)   This may be in the wrong place, but there are no other categories that fit well.     Edit:The price range...

I really like my Audio Technica A700s, though they are not the most different when it comes to sound quality.  What type of sound are you looking for exactly?
