Thanks for your reply, I guess I should clarify a little more. I'm glad you responded because without I wouldn't have.   I also have the Power Supply, which is able to turn on and the green light is fine. The amp itself runs off of that power so it doesn't have a fuse in it does it?

I would really appreciate some help. I have had the headroom desktop amp for many years now since 2005.  They discontinued it in 2008 I believe... It is way out of warranty and I know if I ship it back its 100 dollars an hour for repair. Basically when I flip the switch to On it doesn't turn...

I'm looking to purchase a small LOD interconnect for a portable rig, looking for either female or male 3.5mm connection for usage with portable amp. Thank you, send me a PM with details!

Well turns out, its not the fuse...so for now its a big paper weight. BUT! Plugged it into my Pioneer VSX-9500S And well, theres more bass. Could use some more. But yeah a lot better.

Ok to start, huge music fan, have had er-6is and the older version of shure iems... I also have a pair of Sennheiser HD650s (which im sorta dissapointed with)... My budget is max $300 I listen to everything, trance, dub, electro, indie, metal, rap, country, trip-hop, industrial, medieval...

Been awhile since I've been here on the forums. Haven't been able to purchase anymore equipment lately, I currently have HD650s with custom cables (forgot manufac). My Headroom Desktop Amp won't turn on, I think its a fuse problem... Anyway my problem is, the HD650s just dont pack enough...

Ok yeah, I used analog input on it, its clearly lacking power. So im going to be patient and use my CD rig instead... To the guy about why they shipped it, I think its because I ordered cables and such and they just shipped what they had most likely.. anyway.. sorry to kinda make a...

First of all I'm new to the whole scene. I ordered a headroom desktop amp fully pimped out as they call it. I just literally received the amp itself but the external power supply they say you need is back ordered another 2 weeks. I really want to use this little sucker, I've never experienced an...

Have you tried sticking your computer speakers into the DAC? If so how did that sound?

Alright, thank you guys for your help!!!

Hello, I have a Mac Pro and a external/DAC on the way. The Mac Pro has a toslink optical out that I could use and the DAC can also be used with a USB. My question is what would have better sound clarity? I know that toslink is still digital so if I used the toslink then the DAC on the sound...

I plan to use the K701 for live music, acoustics, classical, folk, jazz and the HD650s for electronic music. Does that sound about right?

Thank you everyone for your help, for my needs I ultimately went with: The Serious Audiophile Package So again I thank everyone

I am probably going with the Graham Slee Solo found one for sale at http://www.musicdirect.com/ my only question is if I am using my computer as the source should I go directly from my MacPro soundcard to the amp or can I go from my Klipsch 4.1 computer speakers headphone jack? I'm probably...

How would I go about buying a Graham Slee Solo? It seems so hard to buy amps that are from Europe, I just don't know where to begin.

I chose a budget of $1000 because I cannot really spend more then that. I appreciate all feedback, just hope that you are taking into account my music preferences when naming an amp. Thank you all in advance.

Hello, I'm new to this forum, have been searching it and looking for a proper amp. I recently purchased the HD650s, I have searched and searched this forum, and it seems like every topic for amps and HD650s there are so many choices. And I'm afraid that I will make the wrong choice based...
