Why do head-fiers ignore the Preamp?
Agree. People clamoring for a pre-amp, are unconsciously unhappy with the sound of the base system and want to 'improve' the sound by coloring it with a preamp.- coburn

Which *single* CD would you take...
I,d take Oregon's Distant Hills 1973. Complex enough for multiple listening without boredom but sweet enough not to annoy. -

What is your reference recording?
This recording is piano, bass and drums. I listen for the brush work on the cymbals. How well I can distinguish those and the placement in the sound stage- coburn

HD600 vs HD800
I borrowed an 800 to compare to my 600. I found the 800 gave more detail but not enough to justify the cost. I stayed with the 600- coburn

FLAC ? ALAC ? AIFF ? or... WAV ?
I did a lot of A/B listening to various formats 10 years ago using a CAP computer as a source. I did not hear any difference between lossless formats but I did hear a distinct difference between compressed and uncompressed FLAC. Now I have all of my files in uncompressed FLAC.- coburn

Recommend an over the ear headphone for Sony WM-A1M1
Recommend an over the ear headphone for Sony WM-A1M1 I have been disappointed with my old AKG702 that I have used with the WM-1A. The WM-1A does not drive the headphones well. Around $500.00 US- coburn
