Here you go! August sees the launch of the incredible new X-Can V3 tube headphone amp. It has less distortion , wider bandwidth, lower noise and better stereo separation. It also provides better load driving ability, due to the lower output impedance. All of this means that is quite a step...

How would you describe it's sound character? Some say it sounds bright other balanced... Guess the final result will depend a lot from the source and headphones used. Anyway - shot!

Look! Sennheiser HD525 without the cord! =) Got them cheap S/H, but I’ll better fix that cord Think they retailed for $100 some years ago. They are very comfortable and the padas cover the whole ear. Sadly I haven’t been able to hear them yet. Anyone here that has? If so, what did you think of...

How high would you rate these phones?

This is a Swedish made amp that has received great reviews. Can be had with balanced inputs as well . Price around $450-500.

Philips $80 Grado $100 How would these compare to one another? The 890s look rather nice, but I know that the Grados have great sound too. Anyone that has heard both?

I'm searching for new headphones to use with my Sharp MD. The ones I have nailed down is the Grado SR60 and Beyerdynamic, both can be had for the same price. I prefer a warm sound with deep bass and preferably not harsh highs. Which one would fit me best? can't hear them where I live, have to order.
