Oooh compact.. oooh nice casing... $250 for everything VERY sounds good...

Actually the HP890s aren't that comfy... heat buildup is definitely an issue

Aren't the 240s difficult to drive? Saw a pair at Cash Converters for $10 a long time ago

*legit question* Eh nvr show picture of ur bridge reg and voltage regulators... they ought to be heatsinked too...

Personally I'm fine with grados... more i use them for prolongue period longer i can 'tahan' them. On average now i can keep em on for 2-3hours no problem.

Well not wanting a headphone amp really limits your selection to only grados. Everything else you mentioned will benefit alot from the headamp. Another choice would be Sony MDR-CD3000 but thats $600+ There are portable ones available, some even fit into tin candy cases like the old strepsils'! They would cost an extra $50 to 100++ depending if your making it yourself or buying off someone.

Must dui zhen gxia yao mar...

So sorry I replied late. Did you feel u hear more after the first few days immediately after cleaning your ears? ok i need to know 1) your room layout with the furniture ... draw it out if possible 2) musical tastes

Mackie, Must've been the lovely avatar u have

Congrats Oakie! That's a pretty healthy baby!

Open it up and see whats different from the older one!!!!!!!!!!

Huangyong, Do you mean this grado amp of yours more source dependant than other amps u tried?

Am not a smoker but yeah zippo for me... *check out new signature!*

huangyong, Well even if the female members haven't such threads of yours, they now know they exist.

Welcome to the forum! By the way, women do have better hearing than men!

Maybe still burning in?

Personally I would only use Grado amp on headphones as easy to drive as grados. Earphones comes to mind... don't think any cans are easier than grados. One main reason is cos the original design uses ONE abysmal opamp to drive both channels. As seen in Gilmore and PPA, they use like half a dozen or more. That means the grado amp can only drive really easy cans well... anything else would be underdriven and the brightness mychew experienced could be due to the lack of power.

Interesting review. Any pics of the amp?

Never ever send before receiving the money from a stranger you never dealt with.

I'd suggest the one that is closed, i.e. there are no holes on the back of the cans.

ablaze, admit it, you could'n't help come in ... the channel is your offspring... your hellspawn... it calls to you... Buahahahaha!

ablaze, so whats going on in your mind? *oh let's go find some new videos to watch... oh why not pop by the chat channel i created and denounce it... maybe later one more time during dinner... after i finish watching the videos... *
