I'll start by saying that it's been a while since I've been back here. Suffice to say that as I get older, high fidelity doesn't matter nearly as much as I once thought it did. Deteriorating hearing will do that. As does persistent visits to the local shooting ranges, often shooting a LOT of...

It's been a while since I've shopped for a portable headphone amp so I'm not really versed on what's available these days. I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive amp that has auto shutdown capability. Ultra thin would be nice but not mandatory. Really like the form factor of the Headstage(?)...

I've found the connectors that I want to use--though still negotiating the minimal quantity that I'll be forced to...

Anyone tried them yet? Noticed that both Amazon and CNET show on their sites that J&R has them in stock.

***NEWBIE ALERT*** (whew) Now that that's over with... I've been an occasional visitor here at headfi.org who's often gleaned much fascinating info from the opinions and posts here. I can't thank many of you enough for the bits of 411. I've got a set of HD600s with Equinox cables, and...
