i just got a new 151 mk2. its pretty damn good imo. but im using them with speakers right now. didnt move my hd650s up into my room yet. but since i never used a mk1, i cant comment about it. but would not hesistate to recommend a mk2. so clean, neutral, and wide.

how well does a maxd PPA compare?

i got mine too today. currently just letting it burn a bit playing my entire library lol.

best thing about this. i asked my old man about this. apparently he got this setup for free from a coworker long ago. nice find! woot.

ya man. thats what im diggin about it too.. oOoO o oo o bars of lights going up and down up and down.

nice! i took apart the stereo, removed the FM tuner, and the cassette deck. HOTNESS! now its a amp.. nice.. gotta love old school gear. not to mention it weighs a ton.. what do yall think? >=} honestly after these 3 days of use. the speakers and amp has smoothed out alot. i think...

i find my good ol PPA plays fairly nicely with the hd650

oo.

no ideas??

my advice for you people.. since HDDs are getting so cheap now, if you buy a large drive and install into your system. dont go and immediately copy like 500gb of data into it. let it run and cycle and few days, similar to how we burn in cables and gear. or settle in a new car. people...

so im gonna buy a nice dac.. was wondering how good are these.. but as i read the specs and stuff used inside.. they should be pretty good.. i like how its NOS,, so the signal should be as clean as it should be when it was recorded?? (correct me) i know there are threads on the forums...
