Quality iPod audio dock vs Redwine iMod
As part of simplifying my setup (including selling my home setup completely and going strictly portable) I recently sold my MicroDAC + iHP-140 to instead go to iMod. It's funny to me because I originally had iPod, went to MicroDAC for FLAC + better DAC (via MicroDAC) and now back to iPod...- brianknewbie

HORNET (200Hours) VS. HORNET (0 seconds) HORNET OWNERS MUST READ!!!!!!
Hi Ray, I had PM'd you before returning the Hornet, with question of whether I needed more time to evaluate it or whether I was seeing its true signature -- I did not receive response so this is why I returned it. Anyways, now after skimming through this thread, I wonder if I returned it...- brianknewbie

SR-71 vs. Hornet

SR-71 has wider soundstage, voices are much...- brianknewbie

Thoughts about the headamp GP-X balanced amplifier?
Quote: Originally Posted by gpalmer My guess is that it will be a first-rate amplifier though not up to level of the Balanced Reference with Black Gates. Of course, it'll also be considerably cheaper but I still think the upgraded V2-SE I have is better than the GS-1. So you are...- brianknewbie
