Hi,   I am auditioning a GCHA and I think it sounds pretty good.  My question is what is the benefit of the XLR balanced inputs if the headphone out is not balanced?  Honestly I think it is a great sounding amp.  What am I missing?  I have an Esoteric XO3 SE and that deck really needs to use...

Hi,   I have heard great things about both of these units.  For balanced output two channel audio, which of these devices is better?

Hi, Does anyone know if the 6N8Ps on the Bada Ph 12 can be replaced by CV181Zs? I am interested in trying this combination, but cannot get any direction from an amp seller if this swap would work. Thanks!

Hi, I was wondering what recommendations you have for a solid state amp to use with Senn 650s. I listen to all different types of music, but focus primarily on rock and jazz. Thanks!

I figured I start with the experts. If anyone uses a portable amp (like a total airhead) and an MP3 player (I have the Rio Kharma) and has a carry bag solution that can be used while walking about town, please let me know. I will be using the bag for exercise walking as well so I would like to...

Hello, I am new to the message board. I have been asking for recommendations on cans to use while walking my dog. I am looking for the best sound possible and the blocking of noise is not a problem. My current list of possible choices are: Sennheiser HD600 Sennheiser HD580 Grado 125...
