Best headphones you've ever heard/used
Walkman, I do browse headfi every once in awhile. I am pretty knowledgeable on the regular headphones and headphone amps. I use Grado RS-1 with RA-1 and Senn hd600 with ASL MGhead Amp.But I have been traveling more lately and I bought the Shure e3... 
Phono cable, are they really different?
I would assume that VPI wants people to use their cable which is made by Discovery Cable (I think). Just like Dell selling their monitors, but not wanting you to know that they are just Sony monitors with the Dell name. That would be my guess.

What time do you wear?
my clock on my cell phone. How's that for presumptuous?

Walkman, Given that the E4 would require the cost of an amp to go with it. Would you say that there is no reason to get an e4 at all unless you already own a portible amp given that after the amp purchase the cost would be close to the same?

Another sign SACD is dying
I just bought another SACD today at Fry's electronics. Pure DSD. I love it. I'll enjoy the price drops if it does die - just like the $1 lp's from second had stores. Ultimately though, I'll keep getting LPs and SACD/Redbook will still be batter up... 
seperates over integrated. Why?
"not condescending just being factual" - "Perhaps you'll understand it with more experience in the hobby"Maybe you should look condescending up in the dictionary. I'm not even arguing with you. My experience has been that seperates sound better as... 
seperates over integrated. Why?
Matti, I probably couldn't show all of that, but at least you’re hinting at some actual facts as to why separates may be better. I appreciate you not taking the condescending approach - "it's better cuz I said its better, indisputably" Rob 
Another sign SACD is dying
Stanhifi, "8 tracks, beta, audio cassettes, VHS" they've been extinct for a long time but they can still be purchased. You can get 8 tracks on the internet or at second hand stores on the cheap, audio cassettes are still in some record stores, vhs...
