    NAD C525BEE Compact Disc Player

    The C 525BEE disc player is good sounding by a tad rough ergonomically. This isn't a serious criticism, but an observation that the right decisions were made about where to cut costs to bring the machine to market at under $300. The drawer is undamped and makes some noise as it slides in and...

Then You'd be doubling Your budget which I know is not what You are looking to do. Whereas the AKGs are good-to-go straight out of the box & at two & a half...

    REVIEW: Purity Audio K.I.C.A.S. Caliente home headphone amp - updated with comments on regular KICAS

    FWIR, I'd say these impressions are spot on. I can definitely see the Caliente being a bit too much in the lower registers w/certain HP combos. Prior to purchasing a Caliente the only FS HP I owned at the time were AD900s, which are quite "lean" in the bass department. My Bedside Rig consists of...

    Whch headphones have best vocal balance?

    http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f10/fs...01-box-451247/ For Your setup, I would go for these. I also own K240M/AD900, both which have nice mids & are very good with vocals. But the K501s are really something special in this regard & would definitely describe them as having a very natural...

    NAD C521BEE vs Arcam Alpha 7SE

    I have a NAD C525BEE & Arcam Alpha 7. I purchased the NAD from a fellow Head-Fier for $150 shipped & the Arcam I purchased back in '99 for $649 new. Both are excellent players w/similar sound signatures. I would definitely lean towards the newer model, as both units incorporate a drawer...
