I like them, they look heavy duty and over the top.

Seriously! This is rad! Plus i used to have a UD01 good choice for budget DAC imo.

  I hope its temporary.  Looks like your netbook is getting jump started.  12V?  You know you can do 18 with two 9v.  Why such a huge battery?

 My netbook is running on it's internal 6-cell battery

 
The Kingrex and the QED runs on 12V DC and when I was in the store the price difference between 2,5ah and 5ah gel battery was only 3USD and since my rig never is going to be ultra-portable I went for the largest battery.

How do you like the bi-metals?  What genres were you listening to?  I am waiting on a pair coming in from the UK.

Listening to a CD that I picked up at the library.

I'm at a Starbucks right now, going back and forth between two different portable rigs (to see a larger version of a photo, click on it):
 

 
(above) This is TTVJ's Slim Portable Headphone Amp with digitally-controlled stepped volume control.  The source is a Cypher Labs Algorhythm Solo (portable DAC for iDevices), with an Apple iPod 160GB.  The headphone is the beyerdyamic DT1350.
 
 

 
(above) The Fostex HP-P1 headphone amp and DAC (for iDevices) and a custom-colored (by Colorware) Sennheiser HD 25-1 II.

Must get some odd looks with all that in a Starbucks

Hey, Jude, how do you like the Fostex HP-P1?

We're regulars at this particular Starbucks, so they're used to us and all the stuff we drag in here.  When we show up here, it's usually for at least a few hours, so we bring our office-on-the-go setups--it looks like we're moving in.

The Fostex HP-P1 is very good.  It's still very new for me (just started using it a couple of days ago), so I haven't done much in terms of direct comparisons to the Cyper Labs Algorhythm Solo (paired up with various amps).  I'm curious to know how the Fostex HP-P1 will compare to the Solo, when used like the Solo, to feed other headphone amps from its line out (as opposed to using the Fostex's built-in amp).  Again, I haven't gotten to that yet.  Still, though, I've used it enough to know it's very good when directly driving the DT 1350 and the HD 25-1 II (haven't tried any IEMs with it yet).

Damn Jude, nice rigs.

Oh okay, that would make you look less ridiculous, at least some people won't give odd looks other than customers who haven't seen you

People enter Starbucks? On purpose? Without being forced?
 
Guess I'm a dying breed, doing things at home, the way they're supposed to be.
