Cheapest you're going to get is probably to DIY a balanced CMOY.
Balanced amps aren't really known for being cheap.

I guess smaller = better?
Thats not what yer maw said.

Arctic Explorers use Gin, thus it must be super duper.

If I had an HE60 I'd pay that 70 quid to be able to use my stax amp. If you don't have a better amp than the HEV70 though, then the motivation is lessened, but from the other side, would you put down for a better amp that you couldnt actually plug the headphones into? Bit of a catch-22. If you have a stax amp waiting though, then sell off a rare LP, a piece of furniture or a child and have alex work his magic.
Or you could do it yourself of course...

Use the space to put down your most played discs.

For improving the listening experience there is nothing better than Hendricks Gin & Britvic Crown Cap Tonic, double measured and with cucumber. I find that other drinks have their place though. I like scotch when I'm on the jazz and red wine when I'm in a classical mood.

Not all of us here are are banned from head-fi. Some of us are 2xbanned from head-fi and on our 3rd account. We've all got to sell our mistakes at inflated prices to newbies somewhere.
I say! Expertly played that man.

i just found this place b/c head-fi is down.
what is head-case. is it where all the banned head-fiers go.
\Not entirely, well, not yet is another way of saying it. The head-fi downtime has given me the pause to see this place as as good as it is though.

I use these:
And they do a pretty good job, I certainly prefer the total 16pence solution to the "clamp the mofo spikes into the carpet and down into the floorboards" solution. Maybe its just me believing in something because I've spent money on...

That seems highly unlikely, doesn't it? No current production dynamic uses a 5 pin jack and the only out-of-production that comes to mind is the K340.
I think that the various semi-vintage phones in the Euro market that used a 4 or 5 pin connector used DIN donnectors rather than XLR ones anyway.

I've always use my own webspace for photos because I didn't like the idea of trusting the hosting to a 3rd party and then having to pay to continue using it to keep links running. The other advantage is that because a mate of mine runs the hosting company if anythign goes wrong hes about 1 text or IRC pm away.

I've been looking for a decent multi-way speaker switch. Something with at least a half substantial casing, binding post terminals instead of screw clamps or spring clips. Good internal construction too. Its so that I can easily switch between the AMT, the H2 and my speakers rather than having to duck behind the rack and change plugs around.
QED make a few boxes, but they look cheap and plasticy and use screw clamps, theres also some even crappier looking products on eBay and Maplin.
Anyone have any suggestions?

How does a Lambda (or Lambda Pro) compare to an L3000, assuming both are properly amped?
I heard the L3000 from a Meridian G08 (not, ultimately a factor) and a Singlepower extreme at the UK meet.
I'd sooner listen to the Stax 2020 (SR-202 & SRM-212) given the choice. The general reaction from almost everyone at the meet was a sense of unimpressedness regarding the L3K. Rich and delicious sounding for sure, but sound per pound in that configuration, not a patch on the Stax.

Based on personal preference and Ignoring wider and more specific issues (amplification, etc). And listing headphones I've owned (or been loaned a long time) only.
1) Stax SR-007 > TakeT H2 > Precide Ergo AMT
2) Jecklin Float Electrostatic PS2 > Stax SR-202 > Stax SR-3N > Precide Ergo 2 > Jecklin Float Model 2* > Sennheiser HD650 > JVC DX1000
3) Yamaha HP-50A (recabled) > B&O A8 > AKG K340 > Grado HF-1 > Jecklin Float Model 1
4) Sennheiser PX100 > Sennheiser HD545 > Sennheiser HD280 Pro
999) Sennheiser CX300
Everything else isnt worth bothering to classify (fake PX100, iBuds) or doesn't fit. (the Surrounder).
*Not one single person in their right mind would put these here. Its inexplicable why I like them so much.

Balanced amp on the cheap - suggestions anyone?

For the K340 on that budget you would almost certainly be far better off getting as powerful a single ended amp as possible rather than trying to go balanced.
