One way is with aTV Flash -- The Ultimate AppleTV Enhancement

I was reading to my son at night and we had just finished the Peter and the Starcatchcers series of books, when switching to Tolkein was a shock/big leap in terms of being very hard to read out loud if you are a person with lung disease and are not able to go for long periods without taking a breath, as I always pause at a comma for a breath at the wrong place, and have to read the sentence/paragraph over for it to make sense. ^ try reading that out loud in one breath.

Blutarsky's Melos SHA Gold sounded fantastic (as good as a Zana Deux, maybe slightly better) with the Siemens tubes. I haven't heard it with any of the others, so I can't comment. This was listening with my APS V3 cabled RS-1 which are much more detailed than stock ones, and with flats my recabled RS-1 sound very similar to my old HP-1000 (HP-2) that I sold Blutarsky. Not only did this Melos sound good with these two, but also good with HP-1000 (HP-1) with SAA Equinox cable, HF-1 Jenna Labs cable/wood cups, stock PS-1, and PS-1 in an HF-1 wood body and SR-325 metal cups with Silver Dragon Cable.

I wish I was this guy:

Too bad it's fake.

Not new - Blutarsky had one for a while and we listened to it - the sound was not bad, nothing special but on par with other $150 amps. I posted some blurb about it on the other forum a few months ago, and I recall it sounded better with some phones than others. I think I liked the CTH, EF1 and Travagans amps a little better. If I recall it also didn't like to drive two low impedance phones at the same time, like my Sq Wave (but the Amphora can do it no problem).

I've had my mini-DAC since Peter (Iron_Dreamer) sold it to me in Feb 2008, and I am still pretty happy with it. So, I hope you get many years of happiness from yours. However, the O2 Mk2 are a good example of a phone that sounded better with plaidplatypus's DA10 than it did with my Mini-DAC (using maxed Woo GES). They were just too forward and rolled off sounding with the Apogee, even after rolling in some brighter tubes. My PS Audio DLIII and Pico DAC-only also work better with the Stax O2 rig than the mini-DAC. For everything else I have been very pleased with the Apogee as my source.

They've been modded once by RK 15 yr ago, which helps nearsightedness but not presbyopia.

I read that as 1,800 ma using 47 year old eyes in a dark room.

Mine will be here tomorrow.

I thought the Cute Beyond was a better match with the Grados than the Meier Headfive (which I suppose is like an Arietta), and you could change the opamps to tune the sound if needed. A good PSU will help as well. They are decent low end amps, but I think you would still like a Cavalli CTH, or Millett, or other tube hybrid with the Grados better. I just don't understand the aversion to amps with tubes. REVIEW: Firestone Audio Amps - Cute Beyond and Fubar III - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio

Yah, my ancestors came from the Ukraine and Austria. That was one of those videos that I had to download and covert for iTunes and my iPod.

I got a 3400ma pack similar to that from Amazon for less. It was $39 March 2008, now up to $49 18 month later.

When I was looking for a low cost amp Skylab recommended the Dark Voice 336i over the Meier Cantate (he had both and is a big Meier fan) because he knew that I wanted to use it for HD600. Although the 336i is not the best for low impedance cans it will do okay with them if you tune it with different tubes; but the synergy with HD600 was great and it kicked butt on my Meier Headfive. So you might consider skipping the SR-60/80 or other low end cans that you mentioned and consider the HD600 with something like the 336i or 336SE. You can get a great sounding set of tubes for the 336i for about $100 (Sylvania VT-231 or an RCA Grey glass VT-231 + a Tung Sol 5998) and be very pleased with the sound. That would fit right in your budget and sound great assuming you have a decent source, and I assume the Oppo would be good enough. My only complaint was finding half my NOS 6SN7 tubes had hum and needed to be burned-in to improve the hum, but a few tubes never got totally quiet. I did the "fitz" mod myself (bypass caps) and that fixed the issue completely. PS: Naamanf's DIY M3 was better than the 336i with everything but the HD600, where they were then on a similar level if I recall.

I recognize vicky - is that Justin on the far right?

At the old price nobody was buying them - I had the page flagged in my catalog, but never bought one. The sale price is more enticing. I wonder if I could install my old HE60 drivers in these...

Beat me to it.

Okay, I see. I apologize for my misunderstanding. This one is too rich for my blood. I can't do it. Please count me out.

Dr. Gilmore - I would like to go in for a complete kit, using DACT and plain aluminum knob. In regards to the $1500 estimate for parts, I know that doesn't including shipping or the DACT, but does that estimate include the case, front and back? Thanks! (I guess I need to start selling stuff. RS-1 with APS V3 cable might be first to go. At some point I'll need to hire a builder.)

Somehow I thought I'd see you in here.

I think that's a normal sized sammich and they simply got the "tiny-hands" guy from the BK commercial to pose with it.

Bummer - missed out on the watch, but I could get a pedi-paws pet nail trimmer instead.

I said the same thing about them after the CO meet.
