Star Sound Sistrum pltfm? About to pull trigger.
Platform ordered on Wednesday, arrived on Friday. Pretty quick shipping! Impressive (favorably). It's installed, and appears like the will be much more stable than the points. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE POINTS: The origin of the problem was NOT with... 
What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600?
p.s. to all kind and helpful A'gon-izers posting to this thread (which is HIGHLY appreciated, by the way): I didn't hear about this Stax steal "possibility" until today (12/23/05), AFTER starting this thread, and it may or may NOT be true (seeing ... 
What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600?
Rgs92:It's funny that you should mention the Stax line. I MAY have a line on some older but well cared for Stax Lamda Pro's, complete with a Stax vacuum tube amp ON THE CHEAP. Or, maybe not. Not totally sure yet.So..........No remote, but I COULD ... 
What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600?
Thanks for all the responses so far. Checked out all the above links and may make some calls too. Forgot (!) to mention that remote control would be really nice, if at all possible. Any ideas for that? Also, not absolutely locked below 1 K, but no... 
Headphone jack adaptor question.
OK, I hooked up the Ramsey SHA 1 headphone amp to the preamp via the line level tape loop output, and..........it worked!!! (once I figured out that I hadn't turned the headphone amp on and THAT was why at first it sounded so faint and distorted, ... 
Bada PH12 headphone amp review: Tube vs. Solid St.
How much is it? How can one find the company on the internet? Does it have a remote? Is Bada the name of the company? 
What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock?
One point to be made about the laetrile analogy:Laetrile was touted as an anticancer wonder drug. Its effects are unproven. It is much, much worse to lure a potentially curable cancer patient away from standard chemotherapy regimens with an untest... 
Headphone Amp with Remote ? Antique Sound LH-01?
On 09-22-05, Kwnyc said:"Eventually settled on the Headmaster :)"So, what do you think after a couple months? I own a pair of idle for years HD 600's, so that's why I ask. What's the price on the Sugden?

Tom,Looks like the only one guaranteed to fit in the space is the SP 003, which is what I just ordered. To everyone: Thanks for all your help!

Headphone jack adaptor question.
Artizen65,Thanks for the tip. Would it also work to use the line level recording outputs from the tape loop on the preamp, going directly to the headphone amp, which has a volume control?

Tom,The Sp 101 is too big to fit in the space in our entertainment center, which is only 23 inches wide. The added height due to the platform also can be absolutely no more than 3 1/2 inches.So NOW WHAT? 
Decent stereo amp / pre amp on relative budget
I ran the Studio 100 V 3's with a Rotel RC995 preamp and the Odyssey Extreme monoblock amplifiers for between six months and a year. The Odysseys were a huge improvement over the B&K ST140, which itself was fairly decent. Although something li...
