    What happened to the JohnBlue JB3's?

    If anyone cares, I contacted JohnBlue Audio to see if they could assist me with finding a US or North American Dealer or Distributor. They told me they did not have a NA distributor at this time and they offered to sell me a pair direct for a decent price. I passed the info off to the wife and...

    What happened to the JohnBlue JB3's?

    DigitalGuy,   Did you get (receive) a pair of JB3s from obadimports or did you just order the pair from them and have not yet received them?   I've e-mailed obad in the past asking if they had the speakers in stock, but I did not get any reply.   I would really like to buy a pair of...

    What happened to the JohnBlue JB3's?

    What happened to the JohnBlue JB3's? I don't see them on your website and I can't find them available anywhere else in North America. Did the company go out of business or did the N.A. Distributor drop them? If ALO isn't going to get them back into stock, do you know of any other vendor that may...

    Got HD650s need recommendations for a desktop DAC/AMP to replace NuForce Icon Integrated

    Quote: ph,   No reason why you can't use the Arcam A38 to power your headphones. It has a built-in headphone jack and in it's specs it says headphones between 8 and 2K ohms are supported. If I were still interested in having a conventional audio system in my room, I would probably be...

    Got HD650s need recommendations for a desktop DAC/AMP to replace NuForce Icon Integrated

    Quote: Awesome! Thanks for the reply. The HeadRoom at $850 is not out of the question. So far, my choices in the various price ranges are NuForce Icon HDP @ $450, Headroom Amp/DAC @ $850 and Burson HA-160D @ $1100. I've still got about $3K worth of audio gear that I'm going to be selling...

    Got HD650s need recommendations for a desktop DAC/AMP to replace NuForce Icon Integrated

    Quote: Jason, Which version of the HeadRoom Amp/Dac? I see they have one for $850 and a couple for $1600. The $850 is not out of question if it is a great unit for the HD650s. It's a lot less expensive than the Burson HA-160D and it looks like it takes up less real estate on my desk.

    Got HD650s need recommendations for a desktop DAC/AMP to replace NuForce Icon Integrated

    What about a Burson HA-160D? It's a lot more money and takes up more real estate, but is it significantly better sound? Not sure it will fit on my desk, but I would love to hear it...

    Got HD650s need recommendations for a desktop DAC/AMP to replace NuForce Icon Integrated

    Syde, thanks for the link to your post/review. I now remember reading it a couple of weeks ago when I first starting thinking about upgrading. The HDP sounds like a great choice and I'll definitely put it on my list. I like the folks at NuForce. I've had very good support from them in the past...

    Got HD650s need recommendations for a desktop DAC/AMP to replace NuForce Icon Integrated

    Hey All,   I'm new to HeadPhones after being into audio/music for 30 years. I recently moved to a new home and I couldn't get my audio system to sound good in the available space, so I'm moving to HeadPhones as my primary music transducers. Got a pair of Sennheiser HD650s for Christmas and I...

    Review by 'reallybigair' on item 'NuForce Icon (Integrated Desktop Audio Amplifier, Silver Color).'

    Nice "do everything" pre-amp, USB DAC, amplifier, headphone amp, in a tiny package. Excellent for a small desktop system running computer/iTunes out via USB, powering a set a desktop monitors and headphones.   It's also a nice little component to have around for backup to your he-man rig for...
