great, I'll keep an eye on this.

I'll be sure to do this to my D5000s

$2500-3000, I'd be interested in hearing how this amp compares to the Beta22, or even the Headline2.

Gilmore Lite

well you let us know how it goes, because if there is a chance of getting it done, that'd be great

I'm also interested in a DIY blue hawaii, it'd be nice if there were members that did this, kinda like the beta22

I'll probably be modding my D5000s next week, I'll take some pictures and get the driver number

might this go well with that upcoming BHSE?

any pictures/impressions of those 'new' Singlepower amps?

well there are, but I don't think they are in the price range for someone getting into stats, unless you're a rich man that is... they're *might* be some others, I'm sure if there are some another member might post which one it is

so am I regarding headphones, they go new for around $700, sometimes cheaper... converted to GBP that's around ~360, so I think you're still OK for an introductory stats setup.

Well yes you're right, they're not really nice looking headphones, but they have their 'charm'. The only 'nice' looking stats I know are the OII, which are ~$1800. I think you should really try them, right now in the FS forum there's someone selling them for real cheap, so I think that's a...

not sure, I don't think so, I think Koss has something, but I still think you should just get a 2050II, you'll get a good idea of what stats are and maybe the next thing you know you'll be buying OII and other high-end gear...

I have a Gilmore Lite LE, with D5000 with Silver Dragon recable, and I can tell you that on a lot of songs a basic Stax 2050II setup beats them. The stax has that so called "musicality", the soundstage is better, and the mids and highs are better presented. Now bear in mind that in no way...

Great stuff Asr. The BHSE looks gorgeous, be sure to listen to it!
