Who are you to call me stupid when all I'm doing is something totally legal in my free country. Get a life and go back to talking on your cell phone while driving.

I'm closing this thread since people can't mind their own business.

Headphones are legal here so I will be using them. Crescendopower: I need separate volume controls. if you don't have an answer to the original question please don't cramp my thread.

Does anyone have an answer to the original question?

I'm planning an install for a 2 month driving vacation this summer. I plan to go with 2 pairs of HD600's with amps and subwoofers w/amps. Can I adapt car amps or should I get a headphone specific amps? Budget $750 for my headphone amp(s) - able to drive 2 pair of HD600's to very high volumes -...

Mailboxes ETC. will receive your gear for a 5$ fee and will forward to your address overseas. Just find an MBE location and call to arrange. www.mbe.com regards craig.

I have the 2 box version so I'm thinking I could just build another box of batteries to replace the power supply box? any ideas anyone? Antness( you are the builder of my unit - I bought it from ablaze via Singapore)? How fast would it eat batteries? thanks craig

I have a Telefunken integrated amp with headphone jacks which are 5 pin in a cross pattern - one in the middle then one at 0,90,180,270 degrees. Do any of you European members know where I can get an adaptor cable so I may use my 1/4" plug of my Senn? thanks craig in ottawa.

Hi: Anyone have comments on this amp? The guys seems to have sold > 100 of these averaging $100 a pop. regards craig Ebay headphone amp link

Thanks Zanth for hosting and enjoy the wine...too bad you wife can't have any. I'm really tempted to move up to the HD600's from my HD540's now that I've listened to both side by side. The 650's were really nice also. And boy is that Shanling CD T-100 beautiful! definitely passed the WAF...

hey some other Ottawans! I'd be interested in bringing my gilmore v2 over with my old hd540's. thanks everyone craig.

Seeing as they connect to the amp directly as a set of speakers - would n't it be easy to blow them with the volume control or do they take enough power that they're more like a speaker rated for 50W or so IS this a stupid question? thanks craig.

Would the HD580 or HD600 be a BIG step up from these? thanks everyone. Soon to be driven by my Gilmore v2 amp( waiting on it ! ).
