    SS Amp/Preamp for $500 to $1K (already looking at FET-A and GS-1)

    I will be receiving my Cullen IV Mods DL III on Friday. Now assuming that I much prefer the sound of it (I'm feeling pretty good here) to my HR Max Dac, I will be in the market for a new SS Amp/Preamp to compliment my Raptor. I'm looking for all of the good SS qualities: transparency, great...

    My RS-1 vs. RS-2 experience

    Back in December, I decided to upgrade my Grado experience from the 325i's. I always like to keep at least one Grado can in the family since they have a pretty unique sound sig, and they are really the only top notch full size can made in the US. Heck, call me a homer. Let me state that my...

    Recabled Grado Questions

    I've been trialing out some Grados, and I have a few questions on some of the recabled Grado's you carry. Which one of your cables do you recommend with the RS-1. With this particular cable, what type of differences can I expect in the sound. I know this a preference based, but I would love...

    6.5G 120 GB Ipod Classic Owners: Same issues with skipping using ALAC as with 6G Classic Models?

    I am getting a pair of UE-11 Pros, and since reading much about these IEM's and how much you can really hear everything with them, I am considering ripping everything to ALAC on my IPOD (I currently use 256 AAC for good recordings, 320 AAC for non mastered recordings). I currently have a 5.5g...

    RSA Raptor vs LD MKIII

    I have recently come into an extra few bucks and I was thinking about upgrading from the LD MKIII to the RSA Raptor. I wanted to see if anyone out there, and I'm guessing there should be a few, have listened to both, and what their impressions were. I have no issues spending the $1175 for the...

    Cold Feet...Did I make the right choice with the Voyager?

    I ordered my Voyager on Monday from Audio Affair. It's backordered until this Monday. I have been at peace all week with the decision. Great SQ, big bass, will mate well with IEM's. All sounds perfect since I will be using it with my Ipod->325i's, but mainly Ipod->SE530's. Plus listening to...

    Looking To Upgrade Portable Amp from Total Airhead

    I am still very new to the headphone scene, roughly 4 months. My ears and head have been loving every minute of it, my wife and wallet not so much. I have been using the total airhead as my portable, but after spending far too much time reading here, I am looking to upgrade. I listen to...

    Noobie Help Needed: Deciding between NAD C542, Marantz CD5001, or Oppo DV-980H

    I'm new to the audiophile world. I am trying to finish setting up my headphone listening station in my home office. I am going to be using the Headroom Desktop Amp with Home Electronics and Home DAC with HD 650's. I am now trying to decide on which CDP to get. I've read reviews on all...
