Drop AAA 789 died...
So I guess I'm in the market for a new headphone amp. I'd prefer solid state but would consider a tube or hybrid amp. Source is a Topping D90. Headphones are mainly Beyer 1770/1990. I'd spend up to 600. Please let me know if you have any thoughts. Would like it to be balanced.- acs236

HD player recommendation
I've been away for a while, and it seems the portable market has gotten a little bit wacky. Could someone let me know if anything fits the following description? I wanted an HD player (30 gig at least) with a line out. I will not be using video at all, so I don't care about that. I'd prefer...- acs236

Pearl Jam: Avacado Album
I picked this up today. As an initial matter, I don't think you get to release an eponymous studio album this far into your career, Pearl Jam -- so I dub this the Avocado Album. Don't like it? Well, you should have spent 5 minutes to come up with a name then. I've only listend a couple of... -

I was really impressed. Their performance was effortless. They played a good mix of music, too. And despite the general crapiness of the venue, they sounded really good. -

XM Tuner
