I'm a relatively new 325is owner.  I got them about a month ago and was blown away.  since then, I haven't had time to listen to them at all.  they maybe have 5 hours on them.  I feel a little pang of guilt whenever I see them sitting there unused.  Please tell me to resist the temptation to...

thanks for the warm welcome!  I'm super excited and feel privileged to own this treasure.

# 6541 reporting for duty.  Just got them yesterday and am loving them right out of the box.  I expected them to be uncomfortable based on all the comments...but they are not uncomfortable at all.  They actually fit perfectly and I dont feel any excess pressure on my ears.  Very nice.  I look...

Quote: Well thank God we all have you to set everyone straight, friend.  

Quote: Yes- I started this thread with hopes that I could get some help and insight from other Head-Fiers with more experience with the amp.  Apparently, this is beneath you.

Just wanted to update this thread becasue i actually spent some time with the SR-71a and have come to appreciate it's ability to work well with my HD580s.  It turns out I was searching for volume, when I really should have been listening for the impact that the amp has on the phones.  Ray also...

I use my minidisc regularly on two computers that have vista and windows 7 with no problems.

This should answer all your questions: http://www.minidisc.org/equipment_browser.html 

i am a huge minidisc proponent...but if you're gonna go minidisc make sure its one of the later HiMd models,like the MZ-RH1.

Quote:  I would say that the 600 ohm headphones would definitiely suffer with the pa2v2 and would benefit from the SR-71A...but for phones that are 300ohm or less, I dont see how there is any difference from the two.  I think I might see if I can sell my SR-71A (or trade it in for some...

Quote: I am using the line-out on my HiMD Sony Mindisc player which is playing lossless vinyl recordings.  You cant get much better than that with a portable device.

...actually meant to say 3:00...the same position as on a clock.

The SR-71A outperforms the PA2V2 only at extreme high volumes (past 9:00) - and since I dont plan on listening at those dangerous levels, I consider there to be virtually no difference.

Ray told me that the only amp that will properly drive my HD580s is the SR-71A.

then why did I pay almost $400 more for a headphone that does basically the same thing?

I am testing my new SR-71A amp side-by-side with my old PA2V2 amp using the same source and Sennheiser HD-580 headphones.  I am really surprised to hear virtually no difference between the two amps.  Am I deaf?

The exact same thing happened to me today. When I called NuForce (very good cudtomer service), they first sent me a new one. When the same thing happend with the second pair, they told me I needed to get a 4 pin to 3 pin adapter. FYI...in addition to my Zen Stone, it also doesn't work with my...

I keep trying to clear my PM folder, but it doesn't work. ...what's up? Quote: Originally Posted by boomana alrose321, clear your pms or send me an email!

Just got this reply from the retailer: "Hi sorry about that and thanks for your email, OK you received a great deal keep them on us, but please remove your negative feedback as that would be appropriate at this time, Thanks and enjoy" ...so, all is good and right in the world.

I just emailed the retailer: Hello - I ordered the K81 DJ, but you sent me the K181 (which is the higher model). Would you like to send me the K81s and then I'll send the K181s back to you (all shipping at your cost)? It's totally up to you (I can keep the K181s if you want to avoid the...

Guys, I probably WILL end up calling the retailer and letting them know what happened...but not out of any moral/ethical obligations...I simply wanted the K81s and I'm not really happy with the K181s. Believe it or not, I was actually pissed off when I opened the box. and to the poster with the...
