I'll put in another vote for the 840c, I'm glad to see that you are going to audition one. Make sure you bring some music with a good bit of bass to make sure it handles it to your liking with the R10's. I personally think it has a great bottom end, but I am certainly not a basshead.

Thanks for the props on the vehicle, I'm just happy I have been able to stave off becoming "Mini-van Man" for another 5 years Vicky: Did you make it into the first build group for the BHSE?

Thanks. Can you elaborate on the initial problem. I have read about a few problems on the slimdevices forums but they all seem fairly unique with no common problem, which is probably good.

Well hell has frozen over, the cubs have won the world series, George Bush has said something clever, I will be buying an iMac. All patently unlikely a few short months ago but I will most likely be buying an iMac to do multipurpose duty in our kitchen dining area. One of its duties will be to act as the server for squeezcenter. I am currently running squeezcenter 7.0 on my laptop but it will need to be out and about most of the summer so I need a more permanent solution. Is anyone running squeezcenter on a MAC? Any glitches or problems? Thanks.

The actual background here is slightly flatter.

I also don't think the prices are out of line at all. You really have to see the headroom amps in person and listen to them to appreciate their quality. I have always considered them underappreciated, especially on HF. I am also very interested in the amp stands, especially now that my new desktop speakers have arrived and are awaiting set-up.

Happy Birthday You's Guys

The set-up guy never gets any credit

I want to see if they live up to the hype and I need something nearfield for my desk, so we'll see. Were you looking at the ones on HF? If so then I'm sorry ... well actually I'm not since I will get to listen to them

I believe it is saved in Alex's reply to Markl a couple of posts down from his now edited post.

Somehow the name seems to fit ...

True, but there are many inconsistencies between what Jena said on their website (which is likely to be changed or deleted) and what was said in the email to Morph201. The other statements by Alex and the R10's owner are consistent internally and between the two. Although not irrefutable proof, looking at the balance of evidence I will not be using JL's services. My take on it is they are basically pleading demonic intrusion. Damn Voltron you are a machine .. Err I guess that is stating the obvious

Slim Devices Duet. OK I admit it the Duet remote is much better than the Nokia N800 I was using.

Very nice all around. I am especially interested to hear your impressions on the headphone output of the icon. I have been pondering buying one for my work system.

You and my son, except he doesn't use virtual sticks ouch!! Giving an exam gives you so much free time ....

Or he is being used by them to get their "message" out but if it backfires they can always say that was not their official statement. Plausible deniability. Oh, and by the way, I am the real (non Ass-hat) Morph !!!

That's not quite fair, I for one enjoyed the comic relief.

I listened to the 780's last weekend, even Jena Labs is not enough punishment for those piles of warthog excrement (Can you guess my sons current favorite movie?)

Oh yeah, that's what I'm talkin about ...

Well I'll just have to be contrary and suggest a GSX also, especially if you primarily want to use it balanced. This amp simply gets out of the way and lets you here your source and transducers better than any other headphone amp I have used or heard. It also has plenty of power as it drives K340's very well.

It may or may not, but I don't see why it would always be better. The best way to tell I suppose would be to compare them based upon how they sound not how the specifications read, but hey, that's just me.

I second the headroom micro portable with DAC. New it will set you back about $600. The headroom then gives you the option of connecting your PC either optically or via USB so you will be able tyo compare for yourself and decide which you prefer. This still leaves you $200 which should be able to get a used HD580, 600 or even a 650. If you want closed I would suggest a Senn HD-25-1 II (but take off the stock cord, flip the earcups around and replace it with a stock 650 cord). Not as comfy as some phones but still my favorite relatively easy to drive closed phone, and it is one tough little phone also.
