Cowon D2 with/o amps?

RS-2 impresses
I went through a similar search for headphones (SR-80, SR-225, K340, DT770, K340 again, K81DJ) until I got the RS-2's. And yes, they absolutely rule. I probably will never get rid of them even if I get some higher end headphones. Definitely have left me satisfied for about a year, and I don't...- braker218

The Allman Brothers Live at the Atlanta International Pop Festival 1970
All of them. LOL But seriously, my favorites are everything with Duane Allman in it (everything up to Eat a Peach), and Eat A Peach. All magnificent music. -

Meizu M6 vs Sansa
The only issue I would have with choosing the M6 over the D2 is that with the D2 you can expand the memory with a SDHC card while the M6 is not expandable from my understanding.- braker218

The UE-11 has been confirmed!
It means it has one driver for the bass, mids, and treble. The difference between that, and say the E500 "triple driver" IEM's are that the Shure's have two bass drivers, and the other driver does the other things.- braker218

Wood Grado Audition Day
RS-2 owner hear. And yes I'm happy with the 2's and I do not wish I had gone for the RS-1's. Will I get them eventually, probably, but they are great and I don't see me upgrading very soon. And also, some people actually like the RS-2's better than the RS-1's, but those are the minority for...- braker218

Favorite Live Albums?
^Early Fleetwood Mac is awesome! I will definitely have to get that live album. -
Your favorite Steely Dan album
For me, Can't Buy a Thrill. Brings back great memories from my childhood, plus it is just damn good music. After that would be Katy Lied and Pretzel Logic. I really love all the albums though, as Steely Dan is one of my favorite handfull of bands ever. -

Guitar players best songs? Not Glorious.
Robin Trower rocks, IMO one of the most underrated guitarists ever. "Bridge of Sighs" is simply amazing.
