TOTL Headphone Amps
I agree, the Rupert Neve is a great amp.   Worth every penny.   I have had one for about 2 years.   It makes any phones sound great.   Unlikely a better amp than the Neve at it's price.  I would say it has the lowest noise floor of any component I... 
Free To A Good Home, McIntosh Power Meter
Now that’s paying it forward!!! 
Quicksilver Headphone Amp
HiSources are NAD M51 DAC , OPP0 103d,  Bluesound Vault 2i,  tuner. TurntableThe Neve is a fine amp... it really is clean and detailed.   If you are looking for precision, studio quality it's there.   It sounds great don't get me wrong but the Qui... 
Quicksilver Headphone Amp
I spent a few hours listening to this amp last night and it is so transparent.  While listening I kept thinking of the best way to sum up the sound....clarity.   It is so natural sounding.  My Neve RNHP is a great amp, but this is in another leagu...

Best Amp With Some Warmth and Midrange Magic To Pair With The RAAL Requsite SR1a's?
I just ordered a Quicksilver Audio headphone amp.  I expect in a week or so.  It is a single ended triode using EL84 output and 12AX7 input.    I will post my impressions.   
McCormack DNA125 or Odyssey Stratos SE
I have gone back and forth between solid state and tube amp for years with a preference for tubes,  the McCormack 125 is one of the few pieces of equipment that I really regret selling.   Great amp to score on the used market. 
Recommended Sennheiser or Bose Headphones
Sennheiser.... all the way.  Did you choose something yet?    Not to derail your thread, but I tried on a pair of those new Bose sunglasses with BT "speakers " in the temples.   HORRIBLE...   they get $300 for those.   Bose is way overpriced in my...

Audible Illusions wait time ?
Personally I would wait,  do you like your current AI? Really like it?  If so the new one won't disappoint you plus you wont be taking a chance on a brand that doesnt mesh well with your gear.  I have put a different pre in my system after selling... 
$3000 stand mounted speakers?
Check out the Revel 126be....  I owned the 106 and they were great with 40 watts of el34 in my medium room 
Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
I once set up a pair of Klipsch kg 1 on a pair of stands for my daughters graduation party.  I put my Revels in another room that was not being used.....good thing I did, I walked in and one of our guests was using it as a table,  he was literally... 
Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions?
If you can do without remote a c-j Classic 2SE is in your price range, this is a seriously good value used....Quicksilver Audio makes 2 preamps in your price range, one is remote the other is not. Quicksilver gear is all point to point wiring. To ...
