headphone amp question
I have the Woo WA6SE and it's a great amp. It might be overkill for the OP's Senn which is why I recommended the Little Dot MKII. I'll add the MKIII. Which is the one I had and is really nice for the money, is a nice upgrade to the MKII and does n... 
Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
I have a standard commercial USB cable, a Belden Gold and a Nordost Blue Heaven (on loan). While I believe the Belden Gold is an improvement over the commercial cable I haven't heard a difference between the Belden and Nordost USB cables. I have a... 
headphone amp question
I think a good solid state amp with your headphones sound good. I think finding a Gilmore Lite is an excellent amp. If you must go tubes then the Little Dot MKIII does a terrific job. Subjectively I prefer the Gilmore Lite but the LDMKIII is hardl... 
Band with highest success/talent ratio?
I don't care that he's not a group but Justin Beiber has least talent I've seen in a long time. I could go on a rant but I think it's self evident. The Monkeys are deserving of mention. 
Outlaw RR2150 - Is there a better receiver?
@ Kabarkamian. It's an interesting question. In what ways is the NAD 725BEE, in your opinion, better than the Outlaw receiver? I've listened to the Outlaw driving Maggies and was impressed overall. So what does the NAD at half the wattage (50 vs 1... 
"What's Your Best Price?"
I have to add that on Head-Fi (and on other hobbyist sites) they do not have an eBay-like system that AudioGon has. So there is no way to "bid" on those items.I take exception to suggestiong only the buyer gets to dictate pricing. I have not only ... 
"What's Your Best Price?"
I just joined AgoN but have 47 transactions at Head-Fi. All perfect. I'd come up with a different retort if I were you. 
"What's Your Best Price?"
Then I'm the exception. I only ask if I intend to buy. 
HiFiMAN HM-602 Portable music player
Hi. Try asking on Head-Fi. I know there are several people that have some experience with it and it's older brother the 801 there. 
"My Dad has a system like that", she said....
Something the younger iPod generation would appreciate would be a dock like the Fatman iTube that was available a few years back. Add quality desktop passive speakers and they, themselves, can experience the magic of tubes. With an iPod!! 
"What's Your Best Price?"
@Mrtennis... If the sellers only replied with "the listed price" there would be many unsold items. Negotiations are part of the process. That's how items get sold. 
koss portapro vs grado iphones
Are IEMs an option? How important is portability? Aesthetics? I use thr HiFi Man RE0 and Shure 840 for iPod use. Both are excellent and, to me, an improvement over the PortaPro and iGrado in terms of overall sound quality. The RE0 is an IEM and th... 
"My Dad has a system like that", she said....
Is she THAT much younger than you? ;) Seems like there several facets to this. lol 
"What's Your Best Price?"
I have asked that question. Guess what? In many cases we've made a deal. I've been asked that question. Guess what? In many cases we've made a deal. If it's OBO the price is negotiable. When I ask a question, I'm serious about buying. Plus I have ...

Just think of Stereophile and TAS as audio porn. :) Who cares about the articles?
