My 21-year-old son has been spending a lot of time doing music production during the last year and a half. He records his own vocals and beats. He has a pair of JBL LSR 305s, but prefers to use his headphones, Sony MDR-1A. I want to get him a new pair of headphones as a gift. So I thought I...

I've decided I want an amp that has a more substantial footprint and weight than my JDS Labs Atom, one that doesn't want to move so much when I plug in headphones. I miss my Schiit Asgard 2 and Audio-GD NFB-11 in that regard. I also liked the size of their volume knobs better. Atom is very wide...

Remember that regardless of your political party, you are an objectivist. Good objectivist researchers don't speculate about results until all the data is in. So go for a walk, have a beer, listen to some music, and especially avoid all of the media analysts throwing out their ideas. Do...
