I have some thin leather descent gloves I use when I need dexterity and warmth Mostly tho, it doesn't get cold down here, so gloves aren't necessary.

Apogee Duet Kicks Ass
I have been listening to the pico as source with the m3 and hd600s/hhf1s all morning. I can't hear any flaws in the presentation. I could easily live with this as my only source from a sound quality perspective. I will say that I absolutely can't stand minijacks for this application tho. But since I only had to deal with that for about 2 minutes while getting everything set up, that's probably ok. Justin's got a real winner here.

When I was active in a gun group in dc, there were lots of couples like that One woman had a silenced 308, a mac10, and an m16. Her husband had a thompson and an m60 and a silenced 45.

At this point, there's less difference between them driving the hhf1s.

The dacs are very comparable. I couldn't say I have a favorite. I'll spend tomorrow doing a more direct comparison, but doing that will be a huge pain in the ass.

Ok, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the pico is a better match with the hd600 than the duet. I've been listening to the pico most of the day, switched to the apogee for a bit, then switched back. It's fairly striking.

I'd say bradshaw will always be the king of QBs. He called his own offense, and could pull off amazing comebacks when needed.

It's professional football, not midgets. No such thing as "running up the points." You play to win. Anyone who watched the steelers in the 70s knows that there's no safe margin of victory, so you keep scoring until the game is over.

As a passive observer, I'd say there is only one stat that matters for quarterbacks, and is what should be used to rank them: Wins. I'd say superbowl wins should count more than playoff wins which should count more than regular season wins, but however you count em, football isn't a sport about statistics. It's a team sport where there's a winner and a loser.

Ok, I'm listening to the pico with my new to me HD600s with stock cable. It works very well, and I'd say it's a good option. I'm not the most critical of listeners, but listening to dire straits, it's got good imaging and depth, the dynamics and PRaT seem appropriate, and the sound is clear and forceful. I remain impressed by this amazing little device. So I'll stand by what I said earlier, that I'd recommend the duet for fixed location or transportable use with a mac if you have use for full sized line outs or will use the line ins. Using the built in headphone amps, my preference is slightly towards the pico. I haven't done any level matching at this point, although I will later. I'll also feed the m3 with both and do a comparison. But really, you can't go wrong with either, so the obvious choice is high end IN and OUT vs OMG SMALL. Both sound great.

I really like the odysseys. But any bike battery I leave on a trickle charger when not being ridden for more than a couple days.

The Headcase pico Lovefest: Post your impressions here
duet: needle drop, full sized connections, bus powered pico: tiny, even with the power supply They both sound great with grados and etys. but if you dn't have a use for the adc, and mostly want portability, the pico wins. The power supply doesn't make anywhere near enough difference compared to the size of the duet.

Boils down to IC is the only real way to find out what current market conditions are. No matter what people paid in the past, it was for gear in the past. Most of that stuff doesn't sell every day, so you have to figure out what the buyers shopping now are looking for. If you come to a price agreement, then you sell. Otherwise, you don't.
