now, i've done my research. i've heard a pair of shure 750dj's...not sure how i felt about them...dont think they were what i'm looking for. what i've read about the ath-m50's suggests they have less accurate bass so i'm not really lookin at those. the hfi-780's are cheaper right now but i read...

So i got the circuit lookin all fancy n such, then i powered it up (no chips in place) and then the issues started. In its current state, without chips, the positive rail voltage starts at around 18V and slowly makes it way down to about 11.8V and the negative rail starts at about -5V and slowly...

So i've been lookin around at building my next amp. So far i've built a cmoy and it sounds pretty good...but needs a few tweaks and i need a dac. there are some other solid state amps that i've considered building, but now i'm lookin at the SOHA because i want to hear the 'tube sound'. i guess...
