Some power amps prefer an active pre-amp in front of them and some don't
care...you need to find what works in your system. There is NO rule that
says passive level control always sounds better than active...it doesn't

I've owned a pair of SR-80s for 3 or 4 years now and they are excellent
headphones. I also own Sennheiser HD-650s. The HD-650s are better

wrong the the Grados. I agree that they are worth the extra over the
SR-60s, but in out

Although it's worth noting that the HD-580s are available (at Amazon at

I don't know how many of you folks are aware of it, but not all linear
regulators are created equal. An ideal regulated power supply should
look to the load like an ideal voltage source. That means it should
supply any amount of current required to maintain the constant voltage,
regardless of

Sorry you are correct - it was a typo. 100x it is.

I have the HD650s, and my iPod drives them fine. Not ear-blisteringly
loud, but then you shouldn't be listening that loud anyway.

Did you plug in a USB thumb drive?
I find that doing so causes linux to change the path to the external
HDD with my music library and it stops working. One of these days I'll
go in and fix it so that the OS doesn't change the path like that...

No, nothing new. The computer went to bed with everything working fine
last night. This morning Slim Server is somehow different.

If USB / firewire, can you plug something else in and

Your issue sounds similar to one I had. I fixed it by changing the

occasional interference, proably from one of my neighbors wireless

I am not an engineer so I hesitate to make this statement, but I think
that you may have a mismatch between the gain that is being applied by
the SB3 and the gain of your amp. Even very high end pre-amps that
are very high gain will match poorly with high-gain and high sensitity
power amps.

Wouldn't you need 3, one externally and one each for 5v and 9v analog,

A single super regulator will get you most of the way there. The DAC's

I seem to recall a post many months ago when Sean Adams stated that the

about how when the display is off or dimmed the input to the DC-DC

approaches its minimum

As I said, most pop/rock (and some jazz/choral - even a bit of

Often this will have come from a very expensive Lexicon digital unit
