The cheapest I can find them for is $329.95 at amazon , while the (nearly) identical 271 mkII's are selling for ~ $150.00. If memory serves, last year the 272's were selling for about $150 as well... has anyone seen that price recently? I was more interested in the 272's because they...

Do you all find that your favorite headphones have a 'sweet spot?' Is there a volume where they just seem to open up and come alive? Let's hear about it!

Well, I don't know if anyone cares, since this amp is no longer being made. but I thought I'd put down these impressions anyway. I'm just going to cut and paste from a mesage I sent to james3toe, the previous owner. If any MothEddie fanboys are interested, I can add more... My first...

Even though I'm happy with my HD 650s, the 600s are so cheap now I'm seriously considering picking up a pair. Seemed sort of redundant to me before, but for around 200 bucks, what the hell. . .

Who makes the best? C & K, NKK, Cutler Hammer, Carling.... So many choices...

Hey all, I'm building an enclosure for a DIY amp, and I want to use nice round-head, black screws. The box is going to be a simple powder-coated or painted black aluminum/steel. The screws are important aesthetically in this design. So, where do I find nice screws? I've already been to...

Bottlehead kits are very well regarded over at AudioAsylum. The Seduction phono stage especially gets a lot of talk in the VinylAsylum. What do you guys think of the S.E.X. headphone amp?

I've read quite a few posts complaining about prices for American-made gear in the UK (e.g. Grado phones)... Does this work both ways? Do we here in the states pay a premium for UK gear? Anyway, I'm shopping for a new TT... How much is Rega, SME, Nottingham Analogue, etc in England...

Hmmm. I was just browsing Sennheiser's website and saw this (rather odd) description of the 650s. "Can be directly connected to stationary hi-fi components of the highest quality, in particular SACD, DVD-A and CD players" [italics added] What does this mean? Is this just meaningless...

(no I don't mean the DVP-NS900v... ) This is one of Sony's new upscaling DVD players. I needed a new DVD and picked this one up for ~175$, mainly because this model also plays SACDs. I'm curious, does anyone use this as a source... anyone heard, reviewed, tested? and I don't want to...

I just started considering the possibility of putting together a phono preamp kit. I was looking at the AES PH-1 and the Bottlehead Seduction, among others. However, I noticed that they all seem only capable of supporting MM (or maybe high output MC?) cartridges. Are there any MM/MC kits out...

Before joining this forum, I had (pretty much) decided on the... X-LPS v3 X-CAN v3 Sennheiser HD 650 with my Thorens TD 160 MK II for a headphone-only setup (I also considered saving a lot of cash and getting the new Bellari VP129) Anyway, I had the impression that the X-CAN/...
