    Burson HA160D or wait for Violectric V282 (balanced amp)

    I'm looking for a 2nd rig (my first is a Woo WA22 with w4s DAC).  Current headphones are HD800 and D7000 both balanced and planning on getting LCD2 with balanced cable.  I like the fact that the Burson has a built in DAC that is supposedly pretty good but I do have a modded PS Audio DL3 that I...

    Decent Portable Speakers for iPod

    Does anyone know of some PORTABLE speakers that would sound good with an iPod. I have a couple of trips with my wife this year and would like to have some decent-quality music around the hotel room, pool, beach, etc. Battery powered might be a nice option if they are powered speakers. Does the...

    PreHead vs. HR-2?

    I'm trying to decide between these 2 amps as an uprgrade to my Corda HA1 MKII. I've done lots of reading on the forum and was curious if anyone has gone down a similar path and compared the HR-2 to the PreHead. One reason I want an amp is for watching movies late at night while my wife is...

    Which OpAmps with PreHead?

    Which OpAmps should I get for the PreHead - LM6171 or AD8610. My main headphone usage NOW is Beyer DT880 but I also have Senn HD25 and Shure E5 that get used sometimes. I may go for some Senn HD650s in the future also.

    Just got the E5s

    These may replace my HD25s altogether. I used them with my iPod for about 2 hours at the healthclub immediately after purchasing and I was quite impressed. This was with the yellow foamies. Do these things improve much with burn-in? And if so, how long to reach full burn-in. I may have to get...

    Good extension cable for Beyer DT880

    Has anyone tried any extension cables with the Beyer DT880s besides what comes with them? I couldn't find any reviews. I've read good things about DiMarzio Big Red and Sonic Horizon Hurricane extension cables. Just wondering if either of these or some other cable would mate well with the Beyers.

    Echo Indigo vs. iPod

    Anyone compared the sound of the Indigo and the iPod. I recently acquired the Indigo and the sound is quite good with both my DT880 and HD25. I could use the space on my laptop for work though so I'm pondering the iPod (kinda waiting to see what happens this week). If the iPod sound is as good...

    SACD with Phones

    Maybe a stupid question. I've been purposefully staying away from Audio magazines and forums for a couple of years now, but couldn't last any longer.
