| Can't Stop Grinning... Very nice.Enjoy! | |
| Can't Stop Grinning... I have a $40 Philips stereo CD/radio alarm clock that really doesn't sound bad...it competes with a Bose Wave radio...honestly. It really sounds quite good with a pair of Realistic Nova 45 headphones (a classic great value in their own right) that... | |
| Class A Amp I remember drawing similar conclusions as Tvad regarding driving low impedance loads when researching the Moscode. | |
