Reading this forum too long created a bad case of upgraditis for me and I am now looking to upgrade my little Go-Vibe petite DAC/Amp for a desktop amp and really enjoy the USB DAC but want to try a Tube amp. Are there any units in the $200-$300 range? I would like to buy a 1 unit does all type...

Anyone know where I can find a QUALITY LOD for ~$30? Any builders out there that can make me one in this price range? I am using a great mini-mini right now and the sounds seems fine to me although I have read that a good LOD can make a huge difference but I don't want to sink $75 into a LOD for...

I have heard of some fake headphones out there. Are there certain fake brands out there I should be aware of? I was reading about fake AT ES7's. How about AKG, Sennheiser or Denon fakes? Some deals on Ebay seem great but I often worry.

I recently received my Denon 1001's to potentially replace my Senn 555's and initially I was still not impressed until I AMP'd the Denons. Now they blow away the Senn 555! Can I expect a similar sound from the Denon 2000 if I upgrade?

I am in the market for my first headphone amp. (My Boostaroo sounds like crap) There are so many different choices in the <$100 market and I am confused which one to buy or will it matter because I have that "Gotta upgrade" behavior. I am leaning towards the BSG CMOY but there are many others...

I really love my Sennheiser 555's but the wife complains she can hear my music so i want a closed set with zero sound leakage with a similar sound to my 555's. I listen to mostly rock/metal/acoustic so Bass is not that important. I like a clean crisp sound. Senn 280pro? ATH A700? Beyer...

Right now I am using a set of Sennheiser 555's and I am happy with them but my wife still complains she can hear my music so I need a nice set of closed headphones that will provide very little sound leakage. I really like the Senn's velour pads and would prefer a similar feel. Leather gets...
