More money than good sense. There's a picture of the setup here: http://www.head-case.org/forums/tv/7898-nbcs-total-late-night-meltdown-2.html#post315840 The 1100 is especially nice since its in basically mint condition. Seriously, it must have just been sitting in a box somewhere. I haven't bought into the whole balanced thing, so Rockhoppers uncoming line of balanced DIY amps isn't on my short list. I will email RH about building a single-ended B22. I've never heard one, but my understanding is that it is better than the m3.

Maybe. Turns out there are no Stax dealers in Utah. This is what I get for moving to a sparsely populated state. Can you recommend a reputable online dealer?

Why the D7000 hatred? My NIN albums sound amazing in them. There is a Massive Attack song called "Angel" off of their Mezzanine album that is killer in these phones. Sounds better than on my Joe Grados.

I currently have a EHHA amp built by dBel, and I love it. But I worry that if something ever went wrong with it I'd have no clue how to fix it, and would have to go back to Donald with hat in hand. Maybe I should just be happy with what I have, but I'd like to know that I am getting the most out of the Denons. I actually think they a nice sounding headphones. Not near as good as my HP1s, but damn comfortable and better than average sounding. I'm considereing the ZD. That amp is highly regarded, and should sound good with my HP1s and the D7000s.

The charm of this forum is that folks tell the truth, and we can be assholes with each other. I'm not upset at all. I still see SP amps in some folks signatures over at HF, and assume that they are still using them. I guess they rent.

I've never listened to Stax. We are organzing a meetup here in Salt Lake City, so hopefully someone will have a setup for me to hear. I'll look into the models you suggested. Yeah, figured the SP suggestion was a friendly FU to the new guy. No problems.

BTW, I'm not interested in any more DIY amps. I'd rather have a fixed person I can go to for repairs. Since I can do them, DIY amps won't work.

Any truth to the HF stance that SP amps will burn my house down?

Why the need for the price range if you are just going to tell me to sell them? Strange. I'll reveal my ignorance: What are the O2s and 717?

Less than $2K. But don't let the high price ceiling fool you; I'd still like to hit a nice cost-to-performance ratio. As a consideration, I currently have the HR Balanced Desktop amp and don't like it. I use it in single-ended mode only, and in that configuration the sound is flat, with little seperation of instruments and insufficient detail.

Can anyone recommend a good amp to go with my D7000. My source is a Parasound D/AC 1100HD.

For those of you who do follow late night television, this should provide ample evidence of my true identity:

Um, fellas, we start taping the show at 5 PST. I'm going to need to offline for about an hour. . .

Some of us just have to learn the hard way.

I'm not very creative, interesting or intelligent, and it's better to get that out there in the open at the very beginning. Given that as my goal, I think I hit it out of the park.
