X-CanV3 Powers speakers really well!
So I always leave my V3 on 24/7 and today I thought, How would it sound running a pair of old NS-10 monitors. It sounds great! So now I feel better about leaving it on since it will be running the monitors(at my computer) when I'm not in the mood for cans.- BennyBoy

New Nano sound better than the old Nano!
Hi All, I bought a 8 gb Nano today and I've noticed the SQ is better than my last 2gb model. Does not distort with the loudness on like the 2 gb did! I guess Apple makes minor improvments from timt to time.- BennyBoy

My X-Can has a big hole in it!!
Got bored and tierd of pulling the covers every time I wanted to try different tubes. My friend was going to help me with (he's a machinist) but has been to busy lately. I did a 20 minute Blow&Go job with a grinder and a can of undercoating paint. I hope this wont void my warranty!- BennyBoy

Can a Amp have to much detail?
I know some of you have had enough of me spouting off about how great the X-CanV3 is, but today my X-CanV3 hit a new high! I received some more Russian tubes and raised the level of this already stunning amp to new levels. I still cant get over the huge sonic changes made by different brands...- BennyBoy

ThankYou PinkFloyd!
Hi All, I wanted to thank Pink for planting the upgrade bug in me! Not sure if I would have done it if I had not read his post. Also Sorry I did not buy your kit.

To much time on my hands? RED 650's!
I liked the way those limited 555/595's looked. So I did my 650's up in red! at least the grills are red. It's a dark red as not to clash with the overall apperance of the cans. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...4706250&size=o and a slightly over exposed shot...- BennyBoy
