Which phono pre-amp?
Thanks sfo! So you recommend the mk II? The comparable thing currently seems to be the Phono Box S for $199. You would recommend that over the schiit mani? Looking at your thread, you mentioned ground hum, cartridge hum, and lack of bass. Those seem like pretty big deal breakers... were...- Poor

Which phono pre-amp?

I'm now looking to get a new preamp and I've narrowed my list to the poll items... which do you feel would be the best bang for my buck? Any thoughts from personal experience would...- Poor

What's your preferred amplification for the AKG K/Q7xzy family of cans?

Now that I've accumulated some goodies over the years, I'm looking for some sage guidance/opinion on how to move forward. Here's what I've got: Grado 325is, AKG Q701, Westone UM2, and ATH-M50's. Brace yourself, no Amp or DAC... hence low impedance headphones. I do have a macbook pro retina...- Poor

AIAIAI TMA-1
Would these require a portable amp? Being compared to the HD25, would it be a major upgrade in SQ? (Worth the trouble?)- Poor
