Well after owning the "better than any dac ever under $5,000" Beresford since October and now the Pico I must say I'm a bit confused. I was led to believe my Beresford would destroy any dac sound unheard costings several thousands more. Imagine my dismay when I connected the Pico and realized...

I'll be resurrecting one of my old Technics 1200 M3D's soon and am looking for some advice from some of the vinyl junkies on here. I've had my tables in storage in DC for the last few years as there was no space for them here in my NYC apt, but now I think I can squeeze one of them into my...

Just curious to know if anyone has been able to compare the two. I've used the transit as a transport for a long while now with notebook but bringing home a G5 from work and wanted to know if I'm better off without the conversion from usb via transit or straight out of the optical out from the...

Anyone who's heard both care to share some impressions?

looking to build a second bedroom system with powered monitors. Currently looking at NAD 1130, Adcom GFP-555II, Adcom GTP-500, and the T Preamp TCC TC-754. Not looking to spend more than $220 on audiogon/ebay. anyone with vintage preamp experience care to share? thanks!

I've been relying on my um1's amped from my pint for the last few months with no complaints. I liked the discrete looks and perfect comfort with the biflanges but the left channel is dead and I want a new sound. I also already received a replacement pair once so don't know how the warranty will...

While I do love my laidback 650s for most listening and film editing jobs, I'm looking for it's evil twin. I realize Grados would probably be a natural foil for Senns but want to know what other headphones I should consider. Looking at AKG701's, Alessandro MS2i's, SA5000s, and SR225s. Anyone...

http://pacificvalve.us/LTDACAM.html Anyone with any info/impressions on this unit? I had my heart set on a zhalou but have given up trying to keep up with which mods do what and I've vowed to take a break from soldering after my bad SMD experience . My limit is $350, looking to split use...

anyone heard both? interested to hear your impressions....

I know this question has been asked before but I'm hoping for some clarification with using headphone amps as volume control/preamps for a speaker setup. I have powered studio monitors connected to my mac through a soon to be replaced m-audio transit. My monitors are discontinued NHTPro A-10s...

Hi all, I've been slowly ascending the ladder to audio satisfaction with my 650's and need to move on to the next rung. I'm currently driving them with a headphile woodied Headsave Classic w/627 opamps and am suffering from too much lushness and not enough detail. I expected this as I've read...

I'm in the market for new portable closed/semi-closed headphones to help me battle my morning commute here in nyc. I currently own a half-dead e2c which had it's definite drawbacks but served me well as far as isolation is concerned. I eventually got fed up with the congested sound and right...
