I iz belligerent On a more serious note, he's one of my best friend and he's a great person please don't take this too seriously.

how much do you love those? <3

Software Preamp

The burn in is going well at 24 hours ish, I have been listening to A LOT of classical music e.g Max Richter and songs with strings seem to be even more defined with the amp then without, they sound more.. real, tactice, i'm not sure how to describe it, less artificial I suppose. More later.

Was just trying to have some fun, from now on I will restrict my threads to reviews on what I buy and advice, sorry If i caused any offense, imo people have "different" ears your idea of good is partial to no one but yourself, i'm sorry that I offended you with such trivial things. Edit: This wasn't even me flaunting my "gear" which is not too high end anyway, I was mainly poking fun at my friend turning up the PREAMP all the way in software and then declaring his opinion.

Boomana believe me i've read your posts, and you have a huge bias against them, on the opposite spectrum there is Markl, who thinks they are the greatest things ever, who is right? who cares as long as it sounds good to me and it does.

November - Max Richter Wow.. just wow absolutely amazing use of strings leaves me in tears every time. If your just listening to it make sure to listen to the whole thing.. it's a piece as a whole don't judge just by the intro.

You guys ready for this.. he wears a bose triport, he likes that crackly terribly enhanced bass. Edit: And yes i am in the process of building my own cups for the d2000's wooden of course, I own a lathe

I just saw that.. oops

hmmmm that sounds like a great idea mwahahahahha

So a while back even before I got my amp I was excited to own my new headphones and wanted to show them to a friend of mine. He comes over and puts on a song in my itunes, quickly finds the equalizer, turns the Pre-amp setting in iTunes ALL THE WAY up, takes the headphones off and quickly declares that they suck. Being a nice fellow, I just said ok and shrugged it off. My question to you is where does this kind of ignorance spawn from? How can someone be so stupid to assess sound quality when iTunes is clearly distorting it. Also he was using a 128kbps quality audio that he gave me, and I told him before hand that the quality will suck. GrRrRRRRRrRRRrRR Console me fellow head casers.

Also this wasn't just based on HPA's review, it was based on his and numerous other impressions, HPA was the only one to really go indepth with how it sounded with the Denon d2000's which i happen to own. There seems to be some sort of war going on you guys quit that until I burn in my nuforce and give a full review

Thankyou for the advice Headphone Addict. I am only using this out of my macbook pro, so I don't care that it sucks out of the ipod. Also your right in a year I will have a better amp and I'm sure i'll think it's not good but i'll tell you one thing. I am much more pleased with my d2000's out of my amp, then I was out of my Macbook pro straight, and I loved them before, and love them even more now. That counts for something right? Even if it doesn't I'm enjoying my music like never before so I don't care

Haha, I feel like such a little kid, reexperiencing my music again, jumping from song to song saying "Oh! I wonder how this song will sound now"

Ah ok i misunderstood sorry Personally having never owned an amp I expected very little to no change, however I was quiet mistaken, the change in sound is radical. Bass coming out of my d2000 has become much more defined, sibilance in some extremely sibilant songs have reduced, and the sound seems to become more rounded (equal / balanced). Also I am noticing far more sound space? (is the how you say it) I feel more like i'm listening to instruments around me instead of instruments being directed into my head.
