The hard part is not sourcing it (which, in itself, would be hard) -- the hard part is proving it's real -- doesn't exactly come with a COA. Leave the fast-talking to non-suckitalo companies.

Batten down the hatches!

Melikey.

Beyer DT880? It's sorta closed.

Is that through the dock, or straight out of the iPhone? Pics of the cable? Is it this one?

Are you looking here: MINI-REVIEW of Single Power Square Wave XL Balanced (vs Melos SHA Gold and Zana Deux) - Page 2 - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio ...?

AKG K501. Its strength is its midrange.

Which means you got to, too. Jeez, nice way to spend a Monday!

Sounds like a party.

They're probably burning in. Or maybe your listening "center of balance" is drifting into alignment. Try turning them around and see if the center goes the other way.

Is it possible it could be an OEM type thing, like the ICE amps?

I have been buying a lot of imports lately. After you find the item on another site, look for it again on the domestic site -- there are lots of places like Caiman and importcd's that sell the disk through the amazon shops, albeit still new. And I've had nothing but the best of luck with them.

Was it not a public domain design? Practically all circuits already exist at this point, the trick with any amp manufacturer is to put your own flavor on it (without violating intellectual property rights, of course). Which is what I thought everyone -- including Mikhail -- does.

I think it looks hot, in a spectacular sci-fi chick wearing a foil cape as an extra on Dr. Who kind of way. I haven't heard any reviews that said sound alone makes it worth the price without modding and/or tuberolling. But I still intend to get one when I win the lottery -- I think it will go with my O'Heocha D2 speakers.

There's a school for that?

What amp are you using, again?

apparently there're some problems with the new 3G chip

Dude, you really need to discover some Kylie Minogue. The album Body Language is a particular favorite of mine. The video for the song, "Slow" cracks me up: Also Pink, her first album, Can't Take Me Home -- check out the track, Hell Wit Ya: Annie, Anniemal -- "Chewing Gum":

Yes, and quite possibly. (The two not being mutually exclusive.)

Gold knobs are hot.

Also, he left out the unusual things like eating pavement -- so he didn't do that today.
