ok, so from the reaction, I am going to assume that the M-Stage is not viable competitor to Schitt amps.

Not to derail the thread, but what is your guy's opinion on the Matrix M-Stage (another discrete amp). Matrix M-Stage amp review: simple, cheap, and excellent. - Head-Fi.org Community I know I shouldn't trust head fi but this was a convincing review. Seems like it could be an alternative and I haven;t read about noise/heat issues for it either.

would be hilarious if ALO actually made them worse headphones. Then they would be expensive way to degrade your headphones.

It's going to be a very tough decision weather or not to go jh3a and give up portability or not... I like using jh13 straight of my iphone....

Actually my comment "check out what they own" was a direct refrence to Darth Beyers. He has sold alll of his Darth Beyers. I've heard him makes comments to the effect that he likes less bass then he used to. I think he likes more refined headphones then he used. We should probably get back to the topic now, sorry guys.

He recently gave a very negative review to the Bowers and Wilkins P5. Also to know what any reviewer really likes just check out what they own.

You are probably right but I was wondering how many people actually buy a 1000 $ headphone without doing any research and research would inevitably lead them to HF. You are right that made no sense... I feel stupid now. Head fi had the beginnings of hype occurring when the hike occurred I think...

I find it particularly ironic that the price hike coincided with the massive hype surrounding the LCD-2. Of course, I am sure Beyer did not take the tiny American company seriously enough.
