Stereophile review of the T-Amp
Just be careful, there are some conversations on headfi that mention electrical issues. One guy fried his AKG K1K (one of the earspeakers). I guess you still get what you paid for. 
Stereophile review of the T-Amp
The T-amp has been around and is legit for the price. It should almost be bought just for that reason, and some people use it and put it in another case and mod it. It just shows what can be done on the cheap. I'm not buying one simply because it ... 
Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
As you can see from this sad display of attempts to PROVE (with evidence) what sounds better is rediculous. So, no more vynil or digital threads please! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 
What spikes for VR-4Jr's ?
Yeah, they screwed up when choosing those spikes for this speaker, but you can use this as an opportunity to get quality spikes and improve the sound. I don't have an opinion, because I went to a Berkeley (music lover's audio) high end shop and th...

DCC vs. SACD/DVD-A
MOFI disks are ok, but doesn't compete with DVD-A or SACD. 
Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
fbhifi, I mentioned the TT and cart. that I used on the front end. The Scout, the dyna cart. Discovery cables, Rogue Audio Stealth Preamp, analysis plus IC, etc. It's a matter of opinion like you said, so how are you going to argue what I like or ... 
The Future: No More Shiny Discs. Who Benefits?
It will be more convenient for us to carry around. I was never one to think an iPod was serious audio. I have an mp3 player and a Shure E3, but just to travel on planes. I don't consider it anything other than a convenient portable thing. I'll sti... 
headphones grado rs1 or sennheiser650 or 600
Simply put:The Grado has a warm "house sound" -Very detailed and sounds the best with strings, etc.(because of the wooden housing. Somewhat agressive, but that can be overcome with flat pads for $30. The Senns have a darker sound. More nuetral - s... 
Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
Fbhifi, Nice try but I'm not going to chase rabbits and type out a laundry list to help you argue for EMM labs digital over analog. And what difference does it make? Vinyl has a different sound than digital. When I heard all the excitement for the... 
Questions about SACD vs.analog for classical music
SACD does not cure the digital sound. It may soften it with the Emm labs set up, but vinyl just sounds different. It's a matter of preference rather than rehash the same old arguments, go listen for yourself. By the way you can better the EMM labs...

great vinyl sound cost as much as great cd sound
I agree with jdaniel - after spending what you did on CD - you might not want to realize that you could have better sound for less.I don’t agree with Fbhifi – an entry level TT’s, cart., and preamp can do amazing things at a fraction of the cost o... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
Other than the VS VR4jr, I'd have to say the AKG K1000 - I can't imagine sound getting better than this as far as headphones go.
