I just ordered Steely Dan Aja remastered in Nov 23, 1999. Anyone have experience with that one? I hope it is good. I must admit to automatically assuming that the remasters were typically improved upon vs. original versions. Maybe I should start another thread for people's opinions on specific...

I have the Monitor 02 and Crack combo which I love with the HD 650's. I hear the HRT Music Streamer 2 has a better sounding dac than what I have so if I were in your position I would try that combo out (music streamer + Crack). The Crack sounds unbelievable for the price and it gives you a nice...

In my research on amps I see that people like the Crack with their T1's. I have the Crack for my 650's. In that price range you could do the Crack + Speedball and nicer tubes.

I have the Musiland Monitor 02 and I like that combo but I have not compared it to anything else. If I had your budget then I would consider the Schiit Bitfrost. I like the modular concept. 

Lextek I see we share another hobby, RC heli's if that drop cloth is any indication. I'm not advanced enough for the Align T-Rex stuff yet though... 

Got it, thanks!

I'm on WIN 7 and using the latest drivers for the Monitor 02 and Foobar v1.1.10 (the latest stable ver.). This works but on the Monitor Control Panel it shows the output as Wave and not ASIO. I have the Monitor 02 (speakers) device selected in the Components > Playback > Output in Foobar. I also...

WelL I got my crack the other day and it sounds so good with the HD650's. Not only that but further confirmation that I made the right choice is that there is a particular tube combination that really makes a difference for me. Since the Valhalla cannot be tube rolled then you'd better like the...

Does anyone have a source of just a single Tung Sol 5998? I can't find anything below $100. Feel free to pm me if you prefer to do so.   Thanks

Yeah I just bought a Crack so I can at least let you know how that sounds (when it gets here) even though I can't do a comparison vs the Valhalla. I ended up going for the Crack because there are many more reviews and positive feedback regarding it and people even saying it is better than a Woo...

I am currently in between amps and using a Monitor 02 to amp my HD 650's. They sound pretty good. There's a Headphonia review on it too.

Hello all, I am considering my next amp purchase for my Sennheiser HD 650's and the Valhalla and Crack seem to be getting good reviews. Anyone tried both with the 650's? I don't care that the Crack kit is less expensive, I'm just curious to which one might sound better with the 650's.   I...

Just picked this up, great album. It is so rare that I like new music. Thanks for the heads up!

Ok, that actually makes perfect sense. I just had to verify to make sure I wouldn't have to reimport all my CD's at a later time. Thanks for the clarification all.

In iTunes: When going to preferences > Advanced > Importing > Import Using: Apple Lossless Decoder, I get varying rates of 712 kbps to 1158kbps that varies randomly from song to song even on the same CD when importing. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks

If you are worried about the hassle of recharging the batteries then the PA2V2 comes with a recharger. Also, the batteries last a ridiculously long time.

I'm in the market for new headphones, I currently have SR80's and I've enjoyed them but find them too aggressive. The 701's sound like they would be a good fit for me due to my musical tastes (acoustic, female vocals, Pink Floyd, etc.) but I worry about the lack of bass. I read that the bass...

Hey I don't mean to get off topic since this is discussing RS2's but I have SR 80's and wanted to upgrade to AKG 701's, anyone think there is little difference between these two? I would think the AKG's would be a nice upgrade especially at their price and I find the SR 80's a tad bit bright...

Funny a few people chimed in about Pink Floyd: Money Us & Them Shine On You Crazy Diamond but I have one to add: Dogs of War What's best is that you can find all these songs on 1 CD (well a 2 CD set): "Delicate Sound of Thunder"

I want to upgrade from my SR 80's and PA2V2 to something better even though I'm on a budget. I want to go the tube route and would like to try the LD MKIII based on the reviews. My next upgrade would be headphones and I'd like to try AKG 701's if the MK III can power them ok, after that it would...

I am on somewhat of a budget and would like your opinions since I am new and unable to audition any of these components locally. Also, if you have other suggestions then feel free to add them. Which would sound better? OPPO DV-970HD Universal Player $150 Zhaolu 2.5 DAC (no mods) $250 OR...
