Cosmid, the D-NE20 is on amazon for $151 right now. Is this a good model? The panasonic looks good too. Thanks for the help so far. More suggestions are welcome!

I'd like some recommendations for a portable CD player. Currently I use a Sony discman (sports model) but its somewhat larger/thicker than I would like. Here are my requirements: 1) small (slim) 2) rechargable battery 3) decent sound Hunting around on Amazon, I found a Sony discman...

Will the A900's devour my battery? How would they fare without an amp to drive them?

I'm reading in a different thread that these headphones work well with an Ipod, even without an external amplifier. Can anyone confirm?

Same question: are the HD25's the same phone as the HD25-1's that you see outside the US?

Actually, I have a good pair of Shure canal phones. I prefer them for airplanes, walking outdoors, etc. However, I want a pair of cans that I can wear at my desk. (I need to take them on and off alot so I can answer the telephone, and canal phones really won't work for this purpose).

Who can offer a suggestion for a pair of headphones that would work well with an Ipod? These are the considerations: 1) I don't use a headphone amp but I want to be able to get good volume out of the Ipod; 2) my ears can't tolerate canal phones; 3) I prefer some degree of sound isolation...

I am requesting suggestions for an inexpensive headphone amp, with the following specifications: 1) they will be used to drive a pair of Sennheiser 580s 2) the sources will be a laptop computer, a home stereo system, and possibly even a portable CD player. 3) it should be fairly small...

Could the head-vibe match with high impedence phones? I'm looking for a small, cheap amp to use with a pair of 580's.

Great review! I'm considering getting one of these guys. Has anyone heard this amp with HD600s? I believe they would match up well, but I welcome any input...

No, they're not shielded. I've tried $200 Carolina Cables and $50 Monsters and $25 stock cables, and its the same result with each. Actually the stocks are best because I can twist them around until the RF sound disappears. I think shielded cables might be a good way to go. Any recommendations?

OK, I took the amp back to the store, along with the rest of my rig, and tried it there. I experienced no problem with RF. I therefore conclude that my house is located in a place with heavy radio activity. More diagnostic info: 1) this is commercial radio that I'm picking up - I...

Tell me more about tube dampers. Do they get attached to the tubes? Where can they be purchased?

I could use some suggestions: The MG Head was my first tube amp. I thought the sound of this amplifier was great - deep, rich, mellow. I could listen to it for all day without fatiguing my ears. The problem was that I got static and radio noise, esp. when the volume was low. Moving the...
