    McIntosh MHA50 Portable Decoding Amplifier Preview

    Okay. I know this is crazy. But I'm probably going to get this at some point. And yes, it's strictly for the brand. I mean, this is the cheapest McIntosh product I've ever seen, lol.

    Study Shows No Correlation Between Price and Sound Quality in Headphones

    I'm getting the Massdrop 6XX in December, otherwise I haven't heard a 650 in almost 10 years. But I could represent a headphone forum and lecture about headphone's I've never heard... :)

    Thanks: I found that after I posted, but too busy (lazy) to update. Thanks for the heads up though!

    Monoprice Monolith Unveils 10", 12" and 15" THX Ported Subwoofers

    Hey Gene, any updates on official pricing or availability? The subs and headphones seem like they're pretty big news....

    Study Shows No Correlation Between Price and Sound Quality in Headphones

    Wow. I thought I was the only one skeptical about the assumptions, hypotheses, and methodology of Sean Olive. Glad to see other people share similar concerns...

    Planar Dynamic headphones, good or bad?

    It depends totally on the quality and design of the headphone more than the technology, IME.

    What are your picks on best loudspeakers ever made?

    Oh, the F's had multiple problems, but the ringing wasn't common to all of the drivers. At any rate, the design was so problematic that they dropped it, and Ohm moved on to another technology. There is a guy in Ohio, Dale Harder, who actually has refined the Walsh driver and builds them in his...

    What are your picks on best loudspeakers ever made?

    The best I have ever heard are the Ohm F's. Once you go Omni with a set like these, it's hard to go back, regardless of price.

    OPPO HA-1 Headphone Amplifier Preview

    I haven't heard it at all, which I kinda regret. Even with the new cans, a lot of people are holding on to them- that much I do know. The other model I owned was the HE-5LE.

    Where do you find new music?

    Tidal is looking like a pretty good resource. Not sure I'm totally on-board for $20 a month, but I'm giving it a chance.

    OPPO HA-1 Headphone Amplifier Preview

    Too many to list. I have the Mr. Speakers Alpha Primes shipping to me in about 2 weeks, and I also own the Hifiman HE-400i's. Amazing headphones, almost as easy to drive as the Oppo's, and go for $499. Then there's the HE-560's, for $899. I went with the Hifiman over the Oppo, mostly based...

    Once again: what are you listening to now?

    I am totally in shock over how good the latest Uriah Heep album is. This is far from the best track, but it gives a taste...

    Headphones For Christmas!

    I've never heard them, but they seem to be highly regarded. Good choice!

    Headphones For Christmas!

    No link possible. That was an editorial comment on the sound quality and value of an un-modded Fostex driver. I thought sarcasm was your first language... :p

    Emotiva UMC-200 Preamp / Processor Review

    That is really weird! If the darn thing didn't sound so good, I would be all freaked out by the weird, strange things it does, and doesn't do.

    Headphones For Christmas!

    And the T50rp's are almost worth $50. But they have been modified by various people to be quite excellent drivers, but for significantly more. I really have to recommend trying something at a low price-point. If you're interested in the HD600/650, there's always the closed-back HD-280 for...

    Headphones For Christmas!

    Wow. Then the $899 Hifiman HE-560 would make it hard to stand. Of all of the top-tier headphones, they may be the best at price-to performance. Also, Oppo estimates that the final MSRP for the PM-3 closed-back planar will be $399. That is a compelling price, as long as the sonics are there...

    Hsu Research VTF-15H MK2 & VTF-3 MK5 HP Subwoofer Preview

    These subs seriously have my attention. Price to performance seems almost too good to be true...

    Emotiva's Fusion 8100 AVR

    What feedback? You asked about Emotiva, and got answers about Denon and Marantz. From guys who like Denon and Marantz. I have the UMC-200, which I run in a 2.1 set-up. The only reason I have this pre-amp is because of the 11 bands of parametric EQ per channel. It makes it very, very useful...

    HiFiMAN HE-560 Planar Magnetic Headphones: An Audioholics First Look

    I got to spend a few days with the HE-560's a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, my entire system took a dive at the same time, and I ended up replacing my receiver, headphone amp, and other gear, so my time was limited. In short, the 560's are the most speaker-like sounding headphone I have...
