    Looking for the right sounding tube amp for 750-1000 for HD600s

    I wanted to ask for a short list of amps that people think I should consider and read more about, or try to listen to, as my next amp purchase. I'll be using HD600s with the hope of eventually switching over to an 800 s ref at some point. I was about to buy a La Figaro 339 as I read nothing...

    Best IEMs for the budget?

    I'm willing to buy used.  I just need to pick up a pair of IEMs (the deeper/snugger they get into my ears, the better - I am someone who honestly can't get normal ear 'buds' to stay in my ears.  I am not kidding.) for being able to listen to music while at work.  But I've been away from the hifi...

    Music that is at home with the scenery of a masquerade ball, mystery, and devious late night back-alley assassination?

    This is simple - I am looking for any music that comes to your mind for any of these words. Preferably instrumental, though - looking for mood, not something with feeling sustained by lyrical content - just not appropriate for my application / needs - But! If you have something with lyrical...

    Ideas for a CD give-away? I've got some to give away, but I want to make something out of it..

    Anyone have some ideas? I've been tossing around just asserting some requirements to make sure they go to a home they will be enjoyed at (ie the tastes should be on par with the recipient, and they actually care about having CDs) Or mailing a bundle around and necessitating reviews? But the...

    Upgrading my Oppo 981HD being used as transport - worth putting a good clock in?

    So I already have the oppo and am using it currently - I'm not sure how much difference I'll really see in upgading the clock in one of these, and whether I'll feel that it's worth the money. I've been told it may cost $200-500 to make the big jump to a reasonable upgrade. I'd love to...
