My first impressions of my Portal Panache
Oh and I just wanted to comment on the remote thing. I was a remote man myself, constantly changing the volume from my chair. I thought I would never be able to live without it. But now that I am, I can honestly say I do not miss the remote. Not b... 
New Cambridge 540 vs. Used Music Hall CD25
Or you could buy the Onix and save even more money! The onix 88 is basically the same exact player as the music hall with a different face plate. Look it up. I have one and think it is a great player, and could not tell the difference between my d... 
My first impressions of my Portal Panache
I can honestly agree with all the remarks about the Portal Panache. I just love it more and more everytime I listen to it. And you are right about the Buzz, IT effects the sound in now way, and cannot be heard when you are not putting your ear rig...

I like my Portal Audio Panache headphone amp the best out of anything I have heard with my Senn 580s.But mind you I have never heard a dedicated headphone amp. 
Unplugging amp while it is still on, damage?
I should have specified that this is a integrated amp, a portal Panache to be exact. This amp does make a loud thump when turned on, which is normal. I guess unplugging it while on and plugging back in would be essentially the same as turning it o... 
Classe Cap-101 vs. Plinius 8100
I recieved my second Panache and the buzzing is about 100 times better than before, but still there. I can't hear it from my listening seat though, and the buzz can only be heard from about 1-1.5 feet from the speakers. It can be heard slightly th...
