I saw in another thread that you can get them here http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/ATH-M50s for 110 after an instant rebate.

Quote: Ah, well I got the preamp so I could have something to get the turntable playing, and it was recommended to me. I gotta see if my dad still uses his receiver, otherwise I could just use that and worry about cans/cartridge. The M50s are going for 110 right now, and that's pretty...

Quote:   So you're recommending something like the Behringer for my headphone amp? Don't mean to be negative about it being cheap, but shouldn't I be going for something a little nicer? And what about diy amps? I don't mind soldering.   Also, this...

My preamp does not have volume control; it's rather basic. Here's what I use http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-PP400-Ultra-Compact-Phono-Preamp/dp/B000H2BC4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309071338&sr=8-1   Also, the m50 and 840s sound like more desirable sound signatures to me. I wouldn't mind a...

Quote: U shaped as in an uneven frequency response favoring bass and highs? Isn't a flat response most desirable? In that case, M50s and 840s sound more appealing. And the preamp has a 1/4" jack, so I use a 1/4" to miniplug adapter. But what I really need is volume control. Sorry if I'm...

Quote: Cool, thanks! What would be the difference between the 4? And since I just have the turntable and preamp, what's the best way to get volume control? Would I need to get a headphone amp, and would any of these benefit from an amp more than others?

How are the M50s? They seem pretty well recommended around here. I'm looking for an amp and cans for my turntable (SL-Q2) and was looking to spend around 200, maybe 250 for the combo. I mainly listen to rock, indie, or hardcore.

My preamp has a 1/4" jack, so I've just been using a converter to use miniplug with it. Also, the preamp has no volume control, so I figured a headphone amp would help me out with that. And perhaps I should've clarified, I have a set of Sennheiser EH150s that I use with my computer right now. I...

So I've recently started collecting vinyl, and I've been using my dad's Technics SL-Q2 turntable with a Behringer PP400. But right now it's just hooked up to a set of computer speakers, so I'm looking to upgrade to something that sounds nicer. First off, I'm guessing I probably need a headphone...

So I've been getting into Tortoise lately (only album I have is TNT), and I wanted to broaden my collection, It seems like A Lazarus Taxon is a real gem, but is out of print. Does anybody know a good place to get a hold of a copy? The only place I see a reasonable price is on ebay.

I found a pair of these because my brother used to use them a lot. They were annoying because they're open, and thus leaked a lot of sound. Now that I've taken a dive into the world of headphones, I'd like to know more about these cans. A search turns up relatively little information about...

Do you guys know of any good stores in San Diego?
