Why so many headphones for sale with less than 10 hours of listening time?
Thanks again tooblue for the feedback on the comfort issue....much appreciated!

Yikes!  I guess disinfecting them before use would be advisable...... 
Why so many headphones for sale with less than 10 hours of listening time?
All good points tooblue.  I get that people purchase them and still listen to their main rig 99% of the time, but I've also read that the Audeze phones are heavy and bulky.  I'm not picking on Audeze, but until I can get to try a pair personally, ... 
What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself?
That there is too much gear and not enough money! 
How Good Are Omega High Efficiency Speakers?
The Omegas (with the Alnico driver) are one of the best single driver speaker on the market.  In fact, the Super Alnico monitor bested a pair of Harbeth Super HL5 pluses and several other well regarded speakers at a fraction of the price.  I agree... 
Please recommend a $1500 SS or Hybrid integrated to pair with Silverline 17.5 monitors
stuartk-I actually own the Elex-R and would never describe it's midrange or overall sonic signature as "lean" or bright.  That may be the case with the Elicit-R, but not the Elex-R.  I've also owned a couple of Creek integrateds in the past and ag...

The Rega Elex-R is a wonderful ss integrated that would have plenty of power, is slightly on the warm side of neutral and a used one would fit into your budget. 
Downsizing Setup Looking for Small 2 Way speakers. Selling my Perfect Storm Vapor Audio.
You would be hard pressed to do better than a pair of Omega Super Alnico monitors.  One of the best monitors I've heard. 
Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp?

Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp?
Lancelock- thank you for your feedback.  I decided to pull the trigger on the microzotl and the zotl40 and am in the process of breaking them in.  I'll give my 2cents worth after some listening time has been logged. 
Anyone in Chicagoland interested in A-B listening our respectively owned speakers?
jb-  I live in Sycamore (next to Dekalb) and would be open to having you stop out and compare.  Let me know if you'd be open to that.Scott 
Proac D48R
Thanks jperry....what a nice system!  If someone were thinking of getting a pair of Proacs, what would be the best way to go....D30R or D48R?  I wonder what the sonic differences would be?  Also, the D48R is the newer version of the D40R correct? 
Proac D48R
Just curious as to room size limitations for the D48r? It doesn’t look like a huge speaker, but I wonder if they will work well in a medium size room. Any insight would be appreciated. 
Proac D48R
Check into the Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP.  It is an absolutely killer amp..... (bested my VAC Sigma 160i) and within your price range. 
Omega, Harbeth, JM Reynaud, ad Skylan
joejoe, I use two different amps, both with great results.  The EAR 869 SET and an Octave V110 integrated.
