Sarcastic and honest. Rockhopper does make some pretty stuff. Nice warm M# might sound great with a neutral sounding pico.

That's the idea.

I'm told the M3 works well with Grados as well as Sennheisers; and you can't beat the price, so why not? The AMB DIY seem to be well-regarded as GREAT bang for the buck. I'll probably end up springing for the B22 once I get the space. Right now, however, it's not something I have the luxury of having.

Any DIY is great bang for the buck. That's basically by definition.

You can get another builder to make one for you.

That's what I'm planning on doing. My technical skills leave a LOT to be desired, so it's the only option. The B22's simply TOO BIG for my area; not to mention would require a lot more saving time. The M3, on the other hand, fits quite nicely where this useless lamp sits on my desk... a PICO DAC can be hooked in behind it and VOILA~!

Now, if I could do something with this useless printer; THAT would be the spot for a B22! Except for the whole, reaching six feet to adjust the volume thing; but I guess it would be worth it for audio bliss...

DNA Sonet, it even has an impedance switch for this type of situation, more voltage or more current.

Nah, I'd rather go the DIY route on this one. I'll wait for Rockhopper to pop out another or commission YBM or Mister X to build one.
