New "high-end" headphone amp from Germany
There is a review of the Black Cube Linear in the new issue of the german audio magazin STEREO. The reviewers seem to like it quite a bit. From the review it seems to bee a quite dynamic and punchy amp with lots of detail. The review also says, that it's quite good as a preamp. Lukas...- Der Wolf

Ray Samuels Audio Wishlist
Ok, ok, forget about the single box version... but still, what about a headphone amp, the size of a normal component? I mean, the Corda HA-1 (despite being a nice pice of equipment) really looks a bit silly in a rack between an Arcam CD-23 T and a Gryphon Callisto. Maybe a Gilmore V2...- Der Wolf

Ray Samuels Audio Wishlist
I would like to see a single box version of the HR-2. Maybe even upgraded... And the single box should have the same width as a normal component. It just looks better in a rack with normal components.- Der Wolf

Grado HP-1
Hehe... I can see, why that might have been a bad move... But I was pretty sure, that one of you fanatics (counting me in... ), was going to find that auction anyway. So I thought, that being so honest could stop you guys for a few more seconds before you started to drive the price up like...- Der Wolf

Whats out there besides the Reag Planet 2000 thats worth considering?
Hi elnero, the associated equipment was a Musical Fidelity a308 integrated and BC Acoustic loudspeakers. And I auditioned it against the NAD, the Cyrus and the Arcam CD 72T.

Sophie Zelmani?
Hi Riordan, good suggestions, but unfortunately (or fortunately in this case? ) I allready own all of the albums metioned by you. I'm listening to "Siren" as I type. And you are right, Heather doesn't belong to "on and on". But, well, you can't remember everything... But I still find...
