If you love your Senns, so much, how come you took my Denons again?  I can't even tell these folks what model they are.

I'm sure you can enjoy Pink Floyd on SACD without five M80's.

I was doing some comparisons with the Senns v Denons (AHD-950). The Denon's are a little smoother overall, but the midbass is very bloated in comparison to the Senns, plus the soundstage is very cramped. But they do have a little more impact for rock, so I can tolerate their shortcomings every now and then.
Chrono - do you frequent the head-fi forums? The PPA does look pretty interesting, though I'm not a diy-er. I've got a Gilmore v2, and it keeps me happy (though I'd like to try a tube amp sometime).

Well I go to head-fi every once in a while. I used to go there alot more.
The cmoy was my first diy project, and even though I had no idea what on earth I was doing, I was able to make it work. and it actually sounds pretty good. There are a few problems though, it only runs on battery, its not very transportable, no volume knob, and the bass starts to distort when I really turn up the source.
If I do decide to make a PPA I will be relying heavily on the support of the diy board there.

Hmmm. It shouldn't be too hard to retrofit your cmoy to run off wall power. Just find a brick transformer with the same power output as the current battery provides and solder the corresponding DC input in place of the battery terminals.

Walt, AKG 501s here, plugged directly into my receivers. Usually prefer speaker sound, even with all the room problems, to the clarity of the phones, but when I'm in the mood for some high-powered Rachmaninoff while I'm doing something in the middle of the night I'll use the 501s.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
