    Sennheiser Baby O HEV-70

    I just saw this on the bay and find it unusual. Is this Naim iSupply meant to be an upgrade to the stock power supply? Thanks! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300883387305&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

    Anyone into Audio Note transport/dac?

    I've heard the AN house sound is very musical and highly addictive if that's your cup of tea. Are their entry level gear like DAC Zero, 1X, etc. any good?

    Spanking new AKG K702 burn-in and bass

    I'm pairing it with Cary 300SEI tube amp. There's not much bass to speak of as if everything below 60Hz is rolled off. Is this normal? How much time do I need to put on it to get some bass? Right now the tonal balance seems to emphasize the highs.

    I find headphones sound more interesting when you crank them up a little but I'm concerned about the impact on my hearing. Is there any cheap way to measure your listening level so you know whether you are listening at healthy or unhealthy SPL?
