    Wondering how the latest Mini would be for a server, the $499 one. I know you can't upgrade memory , but I feel better buying new when it comes to computers. Right now I'm using an old 13" MacBook, Airport Express, AppleTV, Tidal or Marantaz CD. I am running Audivarna on the laptop. Very...

    Do You Use An Amp With IEMs?

    Grado SR-225=Poor Mans Sweetspot?

    So i've just been listening to some SR-225s and am impressed.  My very, first headphones were SR-60s.  I've owned SR-125s which I thought were an improvement over the 60s.  Tried a pair of RS-2s and sold them quick.  For some reason I just did not like them.  Ended up with some RS-1s years ago...

    Moon-Audio Blue Dragon

    Built a Blue Dragon for my HD600s.  Really, like the sound with the Schiit Valhalla.  Very smooth sounding and seperation detail.  I think the seperation is the most noticable.  High quality cable.  Anybody use this on e Grados?
