I also saw him in 06, and I agree he was amazing... I want so bad to see him again!!!

Thanks for this recommendation... I'll definitely have to check this out!

Dylan hands down.

Yeah, I checked through everything Radioshack had. Penger, I didn't see those on Partsconnexion's website... all they showed were some $40 Furutech fuses. I'll have to check again... thanks.

Nobody has any clue? This fuse is for a tube amp. Please help!!!

Ok, I figured somebody in here would know. I've been looking for a 0.25"x1.25", 440V, 250mA, slo blow fuse... couldn't find anything at Mouser, Digikey or RatShack. Any ideas???

The products I have auditioned from Bose sounded awful. We can't be expected to listen to everything they've ever made before dismissing them.

check this out....

Is there no longer a kit for the ckkiii?

So it seems the suggestions are the M^3, Mini^3, CKKIII, PPAv2... any others? All of these would be able to handle the D2000? From what I understand, they have fairly high current demands despite the low impedance.

The D2000 are huge and kinda flimsy. I would never consider them as a portable option. Have you also considered IEMs?

I actually don't think the D2000 sounds great out of the Ipod (just ok). And it sounds awful out of my laptop's headphone jack. Doesn't make sense to me not to try and get more performance out of this headphone.

Sorry... I'm flexible on the budget. Let's say under $200, but I would stretch if there's a good option above that. As far as size, I'd like to be able to fit it on my desk... so not huge (though that B22 is supposed to be pretty awesome).

I couldn't find anything specifically recommended for a Denon D2000 (25 ohm impedance)... sorry if I missed it somewhere. I'm looking to build a decent amp for the office. I'll probably be using MP3s, so maybe something that's not super revealing? Though I've been considering going lossless...
