Are there any similar products to this, and if not, why not ? Surely there are enough of us H140 owners who want a digital out on a new machine ? I don't care about it being portable but DO want digital out and ideally lots of storage. Is there nothing else made ?

Ha - Fantastic ! That'll teach me to ask such a big question ! I'll sit tight and wade my way through as much as I can then go buy the first 2 amps I like the name of and start listening so I can work out what sort of sound I like, and what I want or need. Thanks bryanbhu !

So, how about a list of what YOU, as the owner and user think are the best amps in the various listed price points... I have some Sennheiser HD650's arriving soon, which will be driven by what is clearly a very unpopular (on this forum) DAC/amp - the Beresford Caiman. I ordered this long before...

One of my first posts here was to ask a question that could have been answered by doing a search, but in that post I also explained that my internet access is very very slow (often only 4-12Kb/sec ). As a result, I do not know much about using the internet, and tend to rely on help from others -...

Hey Clark - thanks again, but even that is over my head - please can you or anyone else explain what balanced, single ended etc mean to me. Sorry if this is something I ought to know, but I am new to this, clearly ! Cheers Steve - learning fast, but maybe not fast enough !

Happy Camper - can you explain what your last sentence means ? Not being funny, but I don't understand - the Beta 22 is an amp, I know that much, so assume the SE and ZD are too..? Clark - good reply. I am getting phones as I have some decent speakers but volume limitations in the evenings...

My point is that how does one know when to post here or in the 'normal' forums ? My turntable set-up cost me almost £7000 - that for turntable, arm, cart, phono stage and interconnect (Michel Orbe, SME 1V, Kiatora Rua, Tom Evans Groove and some cable I cannot remember the name of) To me, it is...

OK, so as a newcomer to all this, can anyoen give me some idea of where the cut-off line is in terms of products. I am getting my first proper set of phones soon (Sennheiser HD650) which to me are expensive. What sort of products are the most affordable in terms being 'High End' - ie just how...

So, what amp would make the K702 sing then ? Clearly this is objective, but what do you have, and what works..?

Hmm - I think I'll find out more about that one too !

chris ah1 Now that's the sort of reply I was hoping for - a list of stuff to check out and look into. I have emailed Lucky Frog audio, am going to keep my eyes open in the for sale sections, but will also contact Graham Slee and Dr Meier and look at the others you mention. Many thanks ! I've...

ical - I apologize too. I'll look at the link you posted. alvin sawdust - great name, and thanks - I've not heard of Darkvoice before, and will take a look at LuckyFrog audio and Dr Meier.

Thanks uncle Erik - I'll do just that. ical - my internet access works at speeds of up to 30Kbits/sec, at best. Normally it takes me 10 seconds or so just to get to a page, thus making it hard to search much, and as I don't really know where to start, I was hoping to get some pointers - uncle...

I am new to all this, and my internet access is very limited, so I hope this doesn't sound like I am lazy... I have just got me some s/h Sennheiser HD650 phones and will be running them through a certain DAC that is not popular here, so I'll keep it anonymous for now. The phones ought to be...

My first post here was to buy a used pair, which will be arriving soon - me too in the club ! I paid £140, which also sounds good to me !
