    Headphones for Flight?

    Another vote for Etymotic IEMs.  ER-6i user.  If these ever die, will get the HF-5 or ER-4P.

    Portable Headphone Amp Upgrade for iPod Classic

     I recently bought ALO's The National to use with my iPod classic.  It is still breaking in, but I am impressed with the sound and build quality.    I purchased it blindly (never ideal), but did so after research here.  And so far I am not disappointed.      Regards, Pat

    Just got my HeadRoom Total BitHead! A mini-review...

    Mine should be here tomorrow.  Also a Christmas gift to me.  First DAC/amp; great to hear the positive impressions.

    My headphone collection featured in Steve Guttenberg's blog

    Nice writeup.  I used to be one of those 'speakers only' guys.  But I use headphones a lot more now and really enjoy them.  This site has been an invaluable resource.    Btw, that is great you get to travel so much.

    Cable for K702

    Drew recabled my K701 (cat snack incident). Since I did not split the cable to both drivers directly, he had recommended Blue Dragon. I have been pleased with the results. And Drew did a nice, clean termination.

    Total Bithead/Airhead to power HD600's ?

    I'm using an Airhead with HD580s at work. I echo Assorted's comments and it is a good combo for me. Pat

    Nice amp for 580s? + a stupid question

    I like the Channel Island Audio VHP-1 with my HD-580s. There is a version 2 now. It is $350. http://www.ciaudio.com/ I bought direct from CI Audio last year.

    Channel Islands Audio VHP-2/VAC-1 combo vs Heed Canamp?

    I have the VHP-1/VAC-1 combo as well. I have not compared the two amps, but I do like the Channel Island with my HD580s. Have to agree it does well with many different genres. I've listened primarily to classical, jazz, and rock with this combination. Source is Naim CD5i.

    K701's and Amp Choices

    Thanks for the replies. I am using the power supply as well. Maybe I should remain blissfully ignorant, or try other amps.

    K701's and Amp Choices

    I use my 701s with the Channel Island amp, and enjoy it. But I have not compared it to others. What amp(s) do you prefer over the CI Audio? And are you using it with the walwart or the additional power supply? Thanks! pat

    Any FM fans left?

    You can check with Mapleshade regarding reconditioned vintage tubed receivers/tuners. http://www.mapleshaderecords.com/aud...onics_main.php As mentioned previously, Magnum Dynalab offers a few tube tuners, but pricey. Jolida has a PLL tubed tuner, that may be more affordable...

    Any FM fans left?

    Love listening to FM. Even though I am in a small market, I am fortunate to have a good variety of stations. Perhaps more fortunate that I am able to pick up the stations on the low end of the band - full time classical, jazz, and then variety of rock/music programs from the remaining college...

    Need recommendation for portable listening in a cubicle

    I'ved tried both at work - Grado SR-60s and KSC75s. The KSCs leak less in my opinion. I prefer using the KSCs from a "don't bother the neighbors" perspective and I find them more comfortable.

    PRaT: 650 v 990 v 701?

    Hmmm ... and I thought I was done looking at headphones! Mitch, the RS-1s are out of my price range. Have you tried the RS-2s? If so, do they provide the same toe tappin' experience? Thanks, Pat

    PRaT: 650 v 990 v 701?

    No experience with the 650 or 990. Have the 701. And PRAT is something that is important to me. And I would say the 701s definitely get my foot tapping. I only compared them to the 555s (I know, not a fair comparison). Not sure this helps any. I'm sure others have been able to try all three...

    beyer compliment to senn hd650

    Maybe everyone is afraid his HD-650s will be upset by another headphone in the house. In that case, the newcomer needs to be able to praise the ruler of the roost.

    Please recommend niec RCA cables

    Another vote for Chord cable (I also use Siren in my setup) or Kimber for use with Rega CD. Rega also makes their own cables if you want to check them out.

    HELP...I want to buy the best Amp for AKG 701 under $600

    I was looking at the same models for my K701s. I am currenlty using a CI Audio VHP-1 and I like the comibination. And, like the X-Can, you can add a power supply. It falls into the same price range as the others on your list.

    Dynaudio Audience 52 SE and NAD 320BEE?

    If you like the Epos sound, you could step up to the M5. Not sure about the M12.2, but that may be a possibility too. As for B&W, I was using DM602s with my NAD. Until my neighbor went to tubes, he was using the NAD320BEE with his 705s. I would think you have access to a lot of brands in...

    Dynaudio Audience 52 SE and NAD 320BEE?

    What are your current speakers? Are you looking soley for bookshelf speakers? I agree with the other posters. Yes, the NAD will power the Dyn's but you will not hear what they can do. What other lines are available in your area that you can home demo with the NAD? Myself and a friend have...
