I’m considering running two headphone amps from one source. Is it going to degrade the signal If I split it?- richie60

Opinions in a decent new DAP
What's a good portable digital audio player these days to look for in the region of £100-200? I will only use it for work and I use the etymotic hf5 for isolation, but may be willing to upgrade these although I still need isolation. Currently using an old Sansa Fuse. Thanks Richie- richie60

What amp do you use for your Grados?
Just throwing this one out there - is there any need to replace the Little Dot 1+ (which is modified with another opamp & tubes) with anything else for Grados? I own the ps500e and 325i phones and love the combo but am curious if they would benefit from an upgrade.- richie60

Adding the speedball to the Crack - is it really worth it?
Is adding the speedball to the Crack really only beneficial when using Sennheiser phones? I ask because i'm using both the HD600 and the dt880 600 ohm phones. I have changed tubes for a nicer pair (to my ears) than the stock ones but I don't seem to get the same level of clarity from the HD600...- richie60

Is a BA driver safer than a Dynamic driver?
As titled I've been reading a bit about the SPL of IEM's and how the movement of air in a sealed ear canal could possibly damage hearing. This has me a little worried about further using mine. As a balanced armature moves a lot less air than a Dynamic driver, would you think that they are safer?- richie60

Differences between the comply tip range
Been trying out a few different tips on my Etymotic hf5 iems lately as I fancied a change from the stock triple flange tips. I had a spare pair of comply professional p-100 so I tried these. They sound a lot better than the stock tips preserving both frequency extremes. On that note, I ordered...- richie60

Triple Fi 10 not sounding best from all sources
Recently got the Triple Fi 10 Pro IEM's which sound great both from my Sansa Fuze mp3 player & a Fiio E10 USB amp, but when plugged into my old Sony MZ-RH1 portable minidisc player or full-size integrated amp, they sound a bit dull! i know that when I plug a different pair of headphones...- richie60

AKG K601 - Should I Upgrade?
I've been reading lots of different opinions on the AKG K601's about them being a bit lean in the bass, the specs on these are 12 Hz - 39.500 Hz. I agree that some music sounds a bit lean, other stuff sounds great, depends on the source material. Been thinking about an upgrade to either a...- richie60

Just a quickie, opinions on AV amps
I know many people have said that Marantz include decent headphone outputs on their products, but does this include their A/V amps too? I was thinking about putting my SR4300 back into service! Cheers Richie- richie60

Is it worth buying a dedicated headphone amp over my AV amp?
At the moment, I am using my dell inspiron laptop connected via USB to spdif converter to the internal DAC on my Marantz SR-4300 AV Receiver. I suppose this sounds decent enough having never heard a dedicated headphone amp, but lately have been thinking if things would sound a lot better through...- richie60
