    Stick a fork in me, I'm done. Dr. says "No more Headphones".... : (

    I just watched my brand new Fostex Th-900s  go back to the store where I bought them. Ironically, they were supposed to be my "end game" and I guess they were. My Signature DJs and my Amp are gone too.I've been told in no uncertain terms by the Doctor that my Headphone days are over.   In...

    Are there any negatives to Planar Magnetics such as the HE500?

    A friend of mine just listened to my HE500s and really liked them. She wanted to know what the "downsides" to Planar Magnetics are versus Dynamic drivers. Can anyone articulate that for me?  I know they sound very different, but I'm not sure how to describe the differences.   What do you get...

    All-In-One Comparison: CEntrance DACMini vs. Benchmark DAC1 vs. Grace Designs m903

    Is the Benchmark DAC1 still a viable investment?

    The DAC1 is $500.00 cheaper than the DAC2. I realize the DAC2 is superior in many ways, that's not in question... What I'm wondering is, given the (much) better price of the DAC1, is it still a viable investment? Is it going to be obsolete in next year or two or is the DAC2 just way ahead of the...

    Most POWERFUL DAC/Amp all-in-one?

    Looking for the most powerful DAC/Amp "all-in-one". Any suggestions? So far it's looking like the Burson Conductor but that bad boy costs $1,850.00.... Hopefully something as powerful but not as expensive? Under $1200.00?

    How do you store all your headphones?

    Just wondering. Some of you guys have ten or fifteen pairs of Headphones. Where do you keep them all when they aren't on your head? Pics are welcome of course.

    Which open back Headphone has the best Bass?

    As a reference, my current fave is the Ultrasone 900. Great Bass (almost too much), decent soundstage, good separation.   I'm wanting to try an open backed Headphone to see what all the fuss is about, but I don't want to give up the great Bass I get from the HD 900s. What open backed...
