It would be great if the audio drops could be more clearly labeled. "Amp" to most people means a power amp or an integrated amp for loudspeakers. "Headphone amp" means the kind for listening to FLACs of your favorite anime music alone, surrounded by empties of monster energy drink and Evangelion figurines.
Sometimes you can make some inferences, like, if it's $200 it's probably the anime kind and if it's $749.99 it's probably the regular kind. But sometimes you click and it's something else. Yeah, I typed all this out when I could have clicked "back", I recognize the irony of this.

sockpuppyI'm not comfortable with the prejudice you clearly have against people who use headphones, watch anime or even listen to anime music. If you had just said these are not clearly labelled, I'd agree with you, but all these negative inferences you seem to bring up just aren't healthy. There's enough going on in the world without being prejudiced against people just for the sort of music/tv/movies they like.
Also, your "if it's $200 it's probably the anime kind and if it's $749.99 it's probably the regular kind" statement makes zero sense, if you had any idea what top of the line headphone amplifiers go for. Here's a hint: it's wayy more than $749.

echinekoIt's just a joke, sorry I accidentally described you so accurately. I like headphones. I have several headphone amps. Enjoy your Yoko Kanno binaural recordings :)

sockpuppyI don't even know who that is, not that it matters. Try not being so closed minded and bitter, eh?

echinekoClosed minded, you mean. And if you don't know who that is, then there is no need to get upset on behalf of a community you're not a part of. Try to be less of a busybody and look after yourself before others.

sockpuppyI don't like smug condescending comments directed at anyone, not in real life, and not behind the safe anonymity of a keyboard. I'll keep my own counsel, sunshine.
PS. Thanks for catching the typo, fixed

sockpuppyThe Era of Men returns! I am bi-audio-sexual, some evenings enjoying languid moments with my cans, others, a good, overall 25 hz throbbing from the Martin Logans. More importantly, after many years of trying to find the proper Wife Acceptance Factor, I now nail 'em and discard them in Tinder like microseconds. Anime is OK, but they always censor the naughty bits.

sockpuppyI realize that this is an old blog, but I think people need to lighten up a bit. I get your point and that you your joking a little. I diffenatly would not pay this much for just a heaphone amp, but different strokes for different folks. On another note. Some of that anime can be quite philosophical. My Son likes me to watch it with him sometimes. I also have a puppy that likes socks. Cheers!

bschec7I bet all you can nail, is a crappy amp with a 1/4 inch output.(One of your most prized belongings). Just joking! Anime with a right hand? And all the girls look like their 10 years old dressed like hookers. I really can't understand why you cant find someone to love you. Just kidding! I'm sure your Mother loves you. We all need love and respect and a good amp. Sometimes you get what you give. Not joking.
