I have a budget of around 400 for a home amp and I've been looking at the Heed Canamp and GLite. My concern is that I need a gain switch for use with my etys and beyers, something that doesn't seem to be available on those 2 amps. Would the hornet be comparable in performance with these home...

My LD2+ is too loud. Using the DT990s, I never turn the knob past 8 o'clock. However there's noticeable channel imbalance at low volume levels. The Rothwell 10db attenuators might solve the problem, but I'm concerned that they would degrade sound quality. Has anyone had experience with them or...

I made a trip to the local rega dealer, wanting to audition the apollo. Unfortunately it's out of stock, so I listened to the planet instead. What impressed me was the musicality and cohesiveness of the sound. It was more analog-ish than other digital sources I've heard. Since the apollo is said...

I emailed Snowy Law from cattylink to enquire about their line of Original CDPs twice over the past few weeks, but have not received a reply from him. Has anyone been able to contact him recently?

I've used my mini-3 for a few months and am satisfied with it. However it's getting troublesome to switch it from my ipod to my cdp and vice versa, so I've decided to get an amp for home use, and while I'm at it, I might as well get one that will be a considerable upgrade from the xin. I...

I'm thinking of buying either the Eastsound CD-E5, or the HD650s. Looking at my current setup, I don't know if the E5 will be overkill for my DT990s. It would be really disappointing if I spent so much on the E5 only to find that my cans are the bottleneck. Will I notice better sound out of...

I've got tinnitus in both ears, with the right one being more severe. Reading about hearing loss has got me slightly worried, so I'd like some recommendations on cans that don't need the volume pumped up to sound good. Oh yea I listen to all types of music, mostly pop and rock though.

Argh the anticipation is killing me. Anyone got their new xin amps yet? (I guess not)

Currently running it unamped from my 4g 20gig ipod and sony pcdp. Looking for a more inexpensive amp like the go-vibe, so i wonder if anyone has experience using the 2 together? I considered the pa2v2, but the left-right imbalance issue is something i would really mind. Other cans i have are...

Hi, i currently use a pair of er-4p with my sony pcdp and ipod without amp. I listen to all kinds of music, though mainly pop, rock, and r&b. Auditioned various beyer cans and the senn 650 (which sounded reeaalll awful to me, i finally understand what 'veiled' means). While i like the 880, it...
