I had the HD600...- warpdriver

scratchy volume controls, how to avoid?
I notice that some volume controls get scratchy after a while and need cleaning/servicing. Is this preventable? I am running my Micro Amp on most of the time. Should I turn down the volume after I finish using it, or keep it in the same position most of the time? BTW I just received my...- warpdriver

I really wanted to keep things as small as possible so I picked the Velodyne Microvee which adds just a *touch* more output in the 35-50 Hz range where this speaker starts to roll off.

Q: Headphone amp as preamp?
I remember reading that Tyll said that a headphone amp can be safely used as a high quality preamp. I want to do exactly that, feeding some high quality active ($1300) monitors I just bought.

Rank your headphones on a *value* scale
There was another thread about ranking the headphones you own, but what I'd really like to see is how people rank their headphones on a subjective value scale. That is, perceived performance AND enjoyment of the headphone per dollar spent. Basically, the same scale that Headroom uses. Unlike...- warpdriver
