ECP Audio - DSHA-1, L-2, Black Diamond
Ah! Finally, an ECP thread! Thanks Radio_head! I've been a happy DSHA-1 owner for over a year now and I use it to drive the Grado HP-1 and LCD-2 rev1. Agree w/ the op statement that Doug's customers are very happy but very quiet. I love this amp, and thought about starting a thread ... but I...- jvlgato

RSA * Dark Star * SE and balanced, dual chassis amp designed to drive most any HP . .
I also look forward to skylab's review. But I also very much value spritzer's input. Both are valued head-fi members, and both should be given a chance to say what they need to say. It's not like spritzer is a newb with no demonstrated technical knowledge. I've read many of his posts and have...- jvlgato

I'm already starting to regret my purchase...
Wasn't Chinese NY right around then? iirc, everything shuts down. I doubt they'd just rip you off.- jvlgato

Keeping ears clean
Q tips can push wax in deeper, plus you can damage your tympanic membrane if you go in too deeply. I like this much better: http://www.ototekloop.com/ It is thin so it can get to the side of or behind the wax, plus it has a protective block to prevent you from inflicting serious...- jvlgato

Ouch. Sorry, Rob! You just got those Epos speakers, didn't you? I was up a lot that night from the rain and lightning. Two thunder claps were so loud, I was sure it hit my block. My dogs were freaking out - one hid in the closet all night, and the other jumped up in my bed, to huddle up with me...- jvlgato

iPad-Fi
I totally agree w/ Mercuttio. I use it primarily for productivity (although my wife laughs at that statement, because at home, all she sees is me listening to music and surfing the web). I use it all day as a calendar and contact manager, which is synced to my office computer, healthcare apps...- jvlgato

Maybe I should just quit headphone and go Loudspeaker?
I never understood that argument. Doesn't EVERY sound in nature/real life hit both ears, and each with a slight time delay? To me, this makes speaker listening MORE accurate and natural, when it comes to localization and spatial accuracy.- jvlgato

Recommendations for a good used CD player, $2-$3K budget
Todd R's Marantz currently on sale on head fi, and $1000 worth of music. Seriously, that's a great player at a great price. If you MUST spend over $2000, you can send the balance to me! ;-)- jvlgato

I just ordered a Cary Audio SLP-05...
The Cary makes perfect sense too me! I love Krell in general, but always wondered about that preamp in your particular system, esp with that fabulous collection of tubes begging to be used! Are you set on a dac, or maybe an upgraded player? Too bad you missed Canjam - both the Ayre dac (...- jvlgato

Maybe I should just quit headphone and go Loudspeaker?
I like both cans and speakers. Each has its advantages. But given enough space, proper and careful set up and equipment (much, much harder and more expensive w/ speakers), sure, I prefer speakers. If the goal is a life-like musical experience, you need the size, space, distance, and perspective...- jvlgato
