Most important power cable.
I also go for the source. When ever I try out a new power cord I always try it out with the source to get a feel of how it sounds with my system. =) -

Studio Monitors self powered? Please help on decision.
WOW! Those things are really cheap. I visited Amazon to get an idea. Unfortunately I cannot comment on the SQ as I haven't seen any Samson's here in SG. =( But I also saw in amazon M-audio which should have a fair bit of reviews. Also the Mackie MR5s have a special price. Those I have tried... -

The best cable for Senn HD800, Grado PS1000, Denon AH-D7000, AKG 701/2

Best Headphone of the past year (2009ish)
I voted for the HD800. As I was lucky to be able to try out the PS1000, ED8, and for a while the D7000. But when I heard the PS1K, ED8 and HD800 side by side at a friend who owned all four (he sold the D7000 before the 3 came in). I really like the HD800 that I bought a pair. I haven't tried...- jojo_b2

RSA Apache Impressions (with nice pic)
The Stock single ended HD800 has a very deep bottom end on the Apache. I have a Revision C. The highs are what you would expect on a solid state amp. but the apache still has a warm over all presentation. On a personal note, I don't get tired listening to it. I can listen around 2-4 hours...- jojo_b2

Audiotrak DR. DAC2 DX
I can't really chime in on op-amp characteristics. But I have tried a DX 2 here in SG by a local retailer. For the price and size of this amp DAC. It's very good. Still cannot buy due to recent big ticket purchases. =( I tried it with a HD800, ultrasone Pro 750 and my ESW10. It sounded...- jojo_b2
