    Headphone amplifier overload!

    So... I've read 3 or 4 reviews that specifically say the Woo amps aren't a good match for the LCD-3s. Not that the amps aren't good (they all pretty much said they were great,) but that there's some specific design element in them and/or the headphones that just don't pair well.   Fairly...

    IEM / Amp combo

    Hi All,        I'll skip on how long I've lurked and how few times I've posted to get to the point of this post quicker.          I'm slightly overwhelmed with the selection us consumers have and would like some guidance.     I'm thinking of getting the JH16 or the UE 18, or maybe the...
