I'm looking to upgrade my channel island VHP-2 to another solid state amp under $1000.  Here are the contenders that I can think of.  Let me know if you have compared any of these directly, which is the best in your opinion, or is there another you would suggest.  If this helps I'm using it with...

I have been enjoying the Burson HA-160 amp a lot lately. But I'm a little confused about the voltage option, located on the back. The manual says that the option is between 120 or 240 volts. On the actual switch, however, the option is between 115 and 230. Is this a concern? Or is it about the...

Hey guys   Sorry abt my bad english   Recently I am thinking about buying a proper full size amp (under $1000) to drive my T1, ultrasone edition 8 & Denon 500.   So that means I am looking for a amp can drive both high and low impedance headphones.   I prefer my headphones to...

I own a ATH-W1000X connected to an amp. Rega Ear and I want to make a better amp. for a warmer sound.   I have understood that the best options within my budget range would be a Woo Audio 6, an HP 8 MKII Audio Icon or Burson HA160.   Please tell me which you think best for the type of...

I have just resided in Japan for my graduated study.  I plan to set up a small set of full size for using in front of my PC.   Normally I spend around 8hrs a day in a computer sci research laboratory. I have several limitations which are following   I) There are a plenty of...

  Hey guy's, I just joined here about 5 minutes ago and am looking some advice. I'm sorry first of all if this is some highly established community, because I admittedly don't know a THING about any of this yet.   I just bought a pair of Sennheiser 558 headphones, and am reading about how...

So I'm looking to buy my first standalone amplifier to break out from the one built into my Yulong D100. My goal is to purchase the most transparent and detailed amp I can for under $1000. Some of the options I've compiled after doing a lot of lurking around here are Yulong A100, AMB M^3...

Any recommendations on a good source for the burson HA-160. I'm thinking of the following options: a) Get the HA-160D instead of the HA-160. b) Get the Arcam rDac. c) Cambridge Magic (or something like that).   Any opinions?   It'll be the same money for the most part. I expect DAC...

So I'm buying a new amplifier withing couple of weeks. I'm planning to go with the M1HPA, would suit my desk with the M1DAC I own and from what I've read, it's a clear upgrade from X-Can V8P also. But I see Burson having quite a bit of users, someone even driving HD800 with it, so it must have...

I am deciding to get an amp for my DT990 600ohm. I don't think I want to get a tube amp therefore the two amps that came top of my lists are HA160 and Auditor.   I am wondering if anyone has compared the two, head to head?   Also what does each amp do to the overall tonity if I am going...

http://www.smarthouse.com.au/Real_Sound/Industry/J2D9B6W6   I guess its an extension of the Apple Store concept, albeit a little narrower. I know A-T make a lot more than headphones, but they are very much the focus of the listening stations:   Part of Audio-Technica's vision in opening...

So I'm going to use the great amount of knowledge and experience of head-fi to help me pick out a new amp/dac primarily for my HF-1s, secondarily for my ER-4Ps.  :)   I'm currently using a total bithead which I find a bit bright with the HF-1 and Ety ER-4S.  My fubar and mintish amp are at...

I have been looking at different headphone amplifiers, and the Burson Audio Headphone Amp 160 has caught my eye.  I would appreciate any comments from owners, and previous owners of this headphone amp.  I would use the amp with HD600's.    

well...what are they?

Anyone have any recommendations for which would be better for driving k702s? The Burson's build quality will of course be better and also more expensive, but how would the M3 amp sound compared to it? Would it be enough to drive the k702s? I can have someone in my family build me an M3 if I...

Greetings Head-fiers,   I understand that im picking an old subject that keeps coming back on these forums quite frequently.   I got a problem with my AKG's, I know that decent headphones need equally decent amp but when it comes to these they need a powerplant...   Im using Project...

So as the title says, I'm looking to broaden my horizon after having the K701 for a year and would be particularly interested in fellow K701 owners whom had upgraded/side-graded to something different.     Before full-size headphones I've mainly been using earbuds and IEM, started with cheap...

i currently have both the Grado RS1i and Audeze LCD-2 which are both top of the line headphones, but i now also want something for hip hop that is just as irreplaceable as my other headphones. what would you guys recommend?   P.S. im using the HA-160D amp+dac.

Have been using the AKG K240MkII for a while but I have recently purchased a pair of AKG K702 headphones........... first impression, even before burning in, they are awesome.............. I am currently using the headphone output of my Marantz PM 66SE.... which is pretty good.......... but this...

Im looking into buying one of these amps.  If i get the Woo Audio WA6SE, i would be connecting it to my NuForce uDAC2.  I've seen many threads about the WA6SE, and some about the HA-160D, but I havent seen a comparison between the two.    Has anybody had the opportunity to compare these two...

My current set up is Laptop usb to Super pro 707 dac- Atlas Navigator interconnects - Creek OBH21 - Denon D2000 or HD650   Ive had my Creek amp for about 7yrs now and it has served me well, but I think it may be the weakest link in my set up. I like the detailed refined sound but it has...
