5 months and not a peep...

For an Audio forum, it's a little too quiet around here. Is everyone wearing headphones?

Alright, that's your theme: Headphones, portable amps, etc, Discuss!

A good site to whet your appetite: http://www.head-fi.org/

All I have are a pair of Grado SR80's which I sometimes use with a small portable amp, PA2V2 http://www.electric-avenues.com/audio8.html The Grados seem to change character quite a bit with different ear pads. I replaced the standard ones with a pair from Sennheiser.

I haven't heard the AKG 701's, but they seem to have been the rage for the last couple of years over at headfi.com. I'll be curious as to your impressions.

Though I don't generally listen to music with headphones - just movies on my laptop - the thought of scratch building a tubed headphone amp does intrigue me. Of course I still need to rebuild my main tube amp among a score of other projects...
