How about ask shops like STEREO who shamelessly posts ads without paying a cent. They have been leeching long enough. It's high time they do their little bit for this community.

i managed to find some headphone amps in china (zhongshan and guangzhou) firstly listened to consonance cyber 20 (headphone only), 10 (pre-amp), 30 (pre-amp). i think it was the 30 which sounded the best, or it could have been the 10, but one of them had hum. the 30 bests the 20 by providing the same sound as the 20, but with more body to the sound given it's more powerful. quite a wide soundstage to the other amps i listened to at the shop. though at that time i didn't think it was great synergy. i also listened to the korsun u5 and bada ph-1. the former is too slow for my liking, and the latter is quite crap compared to the cyber 20. i listened to those in zhongshan. i went to guangzhou a couple days ago. took quite a lot of time finding the audio place as my mum's friend's daughter who studies in guangzhou doesn't know the area that well since its so large.. but we did find one area which sells audio products, though not the largest area which is HaiPi or something like that but yeah i had a listen to a mingda pre-amp, the headphone amp wasn't in stock. it sounded alright too, not that much synergy. then went to another shop and had a listen to the cayin spark ha-1a. it sounded better than the mingda. i was tempted to buy it given we were running late.. though i perserved and found the g&w amp it was in the sennheiser shop across the road! there they had the g&w t2.6f, g&w t2.1A(?), feel hp-100, and feel hp-200. i only listened to the first and last amps in the list. the former has more forward midrange which i prefer and is faster than the feel. also the g&w had more vocal body than the cayin. i can't remember how the cyber sounded, but i think it has a wider soundstage. as it was getting late and we went so far out, i bought the g&w t2.6f for 2380 yuan. all were listened to with different sources using the flaming lip's yoshimi album. now gotta roll some tubes, my relative in zhongshan is a sound engineer i think (i have bad chinese, and he doesn't speak english) gave me some 70s beijing tubes, they don't have as much impact as the stock russian tubes.. but i will leave it to chris (fishball79) to have a closer listen!

hi i'm currently in zhongshan in china.. i might be going to guangzhou in the coming days. does anyone know where the building full of audiophile goods are? hopefully i'll be bringing back the g&w for chris to listen to

thanks for the suggestion, now to have a listen does anyone own the amp? haha i have taken my recommendation for the g&w from this post: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showpost.ph...70&postcount=14

hi rameish thanks for the suggestion. i am thinking of buying the ra-1 clone in the classified section, you don't suggest a tube amplifier?

hi there i have recently purchased a grado rs-1. i currently have a dtpa amp: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=91987 i feel this isn't driving the rs-1 to its potential. i am after suggestions or even demos of amplifiers that are best suited to the rs-1. adhoc has an eddie current amp which i would love to listen to, though he is quite busy with the military i will be in singapore from nov 9-16, currently in australia, so hopefully we can have a little meet i am thinking of buying a g&w t2.6f amp for the rs-1. i'll be in china (guangdong province) after nov 16 for 3 weeks. does anyone have suggestions for where to purchase the g&w? thanks, peter

meeting between november 9 and november 16! that's when i will be in singapore!

if i may ask where did you get this amp from? i am looking to get an earmax or a clone.. thanks!

i will arrive in singapore jan 17, can we hold another meet?

rameish, which sacds would you say are excellect quality? i have, beck - seachange ryan adams - gold charles mingus - mingus ah um bob dylan - blonde on blodone pink floyd - dsotm miles davis - kind of blue carole king - tapestry sort of what to get a reference. i really like the ryan adams sacd.

so what car do you have evo? you can't just read magazines and make those assumptions, you have to drive them first and then put forward your opinion. like my car it's a girls one, no power
