Ipod Touch vs Cowon j3
Don't mean to highjack, but my Rockboxed 5.5g is dying, and I need a new source. It's been a while since I've been in the market, and it seems things have changed. So if I get a 64 gb touch I can play all my .flac files and get a digital out or use a LOD and bypass the headphone amp?- JimSmiley

Headphones for Rock and Jazz
I'm in the same boat. I love my Grados for rock, but I either need a seperate headphone for small combo jazz or I need to bite the bullet and get the RS-1. Recently, I've been looking at the K701s or the HD600. I don't know much about the Beyers, Ultrasone, or Audio Technica. I love my...- JimSmiley

Little Dot MKIII Tube Rolling
Is anyone rolling either of these tubes? GE JAN 5654W Sylvania JAN 5654 I can't decide which to buy. Anyone have any impressions or opinions? They look almost identical. Both have black plates and halo getters with green labeling. TIA- JimSmiley
