| Headphones for iPod. I own the Shure E2c and have heard them against the E3c. The E2c has better bass extension while keeping the same great midrange and highs. The fit and style are completely different, though, and will depend on your ears. It appears to me the E3c ... | |
| $5-600 tube preamps:CJ,AR,SF,etc.. I love my Wright Sound WLA12A, which is in that range used. Great detail and bass with just a touch of warmth. I also use SS power, and it transformed my system.I also tried a modded Dynaco PAS, which added way TOO much sugar. I've heard the PV10 ... | |
