    Charter Oak SP-1: I'm Impressed!

    IME,   D100 Amp did not sound that great, in fact the cheap FiiO E9 did better with these cans,   Currently using the Bryston BHA-1.  Substantially better than either of the above and adds some weight to the sound without giving up any of the PRaT.  One of these days I will actually recable...

    Most overrated headphones?

        I should re-phrase.   Z1000 seems to be the peak for their build quality IMO. (edit = the unicorn that is the R1 aside)   The MDR-1R is still well built, I agree.   And many older Sony cans are money well spent

    Most overrated headphones?

      The last high build quality Sony that sounded good was the MDR-Z1000.  At least of the Sony cans I have seen lately.   If you ever get a chance.... portable, well built, easy to drive and isolate (in both directions) very well.  Very much miss my pair.   We always let one get away....

    New headphone amplifier from Bryston

    Moon Audio as a whole recommends it.   Would like an HE-6 someday... part of the reason I went with this amp.   Unfortunately I do not have the specific links of the reviews I read, but they are out there

    So I see you went with them Deviltooth ;)  -- Great input, I haven't compared them too closely but considering the main shortfall of the SE215 is treble extension to my ears, I am not surprised by your impression.

    The versatility is very nice, especially now that more valves exist for this unit.  I have yet to try the new valves (may attempt to re-establish contact with Torque and see if I can get a sample to review).  I do wish they were a little better for me ergonomically as they do not physically fit...

    New headphone amplifier from Bryston

    This might be the most outstanding feature of the amp--   Different strokes I guess...

    Portland Area Head-fi Meet: Echo Audio - 03/02/13

    Hi Guys,   I'm sure Echo would be more than happy to host us again.  Plate is a bit full at the moment but I can try to get the ball rolling at some point the following week.  Will keep you all posted! This area could use another meet.  The last one was a success...

    To me, "value" is used to describe worth. The level of sound quality that you get for the price paid is about on par and the ability to switch to a better suited sound to the type of music you're listening to is valuable. In other words, this is a cheap option when comparing the...

    Review by 'R-Audiohead' on item 'Torque Audio t103z'

    For anyone who has read any of my previous reviews on the KRK-KNS 8400, Shure SRH-940, Sennheiser HD448 or Sennheiser PX360, this beginning piece may seem redundant to you.  However, I think it is important to include.  I like to start off by giving the reader a tidbit about my previous audio...

    DAC for $500

    Quote: This will be tough to beat, and it gives you balanced operation if/when you decide to upgrade to an amp that can utilize it.   And you'll get an amp with it that isn't half bad

    Charter Oak SP-1: I'm Impressed!

    Quote: It's kind of a long story--   But they are very subtly different according to the literature.  I haven't heard a GMP450PRO or QP450PRO to confirm.  My guess is that they are somewhere in the middle, seeing as they are advertised as a "custom QP450 PRO" but have the GMP cable...
