Buying twice is more expensive than once right?

SQ wise the Twisted Pear should be superior.

Price range? www.Meier-Audio.com Cantate or Opera

Its a great deal, find out how to RockBox that sucker and you can run FLAC. As a matter of fact, because the 5.5 can be rockboxed I was looking at new/old stock units on the internet and they want 350 for them because it can be rockboxed,,,,,thats the same price as the new version.

Thats what I have been doing, its ok though, I have my cans on and im happy.

I just bought some from J&R as well, 329,,,,,I was happy with that price. Wish I had known about the 329 at Headroom, would have liked to give them my money instead. Opppps,,,,looks like its 350 at Headroom,,,,oh well.

Whats wrong with the PK-2s? They sound better than the PK-3s and they are within your budget. I got the PK-1s for my Dad for x-mas to go with a Bithead and they were fantastic! PK-2s are similar but the impedance is different and they don't require amping. They also have the Y cord and not the...

I like Media Monkey but I cant for the life of me figure out how to run ASIO with MM. I got it working with FooBar and it works great but Foobar is not a very friendly program.

I know this is a green pea question but here goes. You need a balanced source to derive any benefit from driving your headphones in a balanced configuration?

I wasn't trying to attack anyone here, I don't know anyone here personally, I was just trying to knock apple and I have a sense of humor like Red Foxx and I get carried away sometimes! I even have a Red Foxx concert on VHS and I have all the Sanford and Son episodes on DVD, I even have All in...

I had to ask because everytime I see it I picture my fingers slipping off and hitting the wrong key. Its all in my mind,,,LOL

The Wi-Fi deal is awesome, streaming and syncing with no cables. now you are making me want one. It was something I came across in the forums, I don't even remember the specifics.
