Don't you just love quality customer service!

I can’t choose just one, so I am breaking the rules. There are many more albums that I believe to be the equal of these 5, but no other albums have ever shocked me like the first time I listened to these: Metallica – Metallica (Black Album) Marilyn Manson – Antichrist Superstar Tool – Aenima White Zombie – La Sexorcisto Devil Music Vol. #1 System of a Down - Toxicity

If you knew ahead of time that you were going to buy a nice CD player, and power cord in the future go ahead, and buy the Sudgen now, so you are getting the amp you really want. Just realize though that you certainly will not be using your power amp, and phones to their maximum potential until you upgrade your source, and power cord.

Hall & Oates - The Very Best of

I chose option #2. I would probably look into some lower impedance phones though.

Thanks Jason, this looks like a mighty nice forum indeed.

Neil Diamond's 12 Greatest Hits - America

I have heard quite a few amps with the HD-600s, but I can’t say I have heard one that was outright better than the RKV, maybe different. The RKV with its super high damping factor, strong voltage swing, outright power at almost 3 watts per channel, and OTL designed seems to me almost like a match made in heaven for the HD-600s. Many other OTL amps I have heard have that magic midrange on up, but just don’t cut it in the bass control department. I think the RKV signifies a very good balance of what’s great about solid-state designs, and tubes all in one package. A product that has definitely stood the test of time.
