True Joel, but the power output from my Phone is a relatively consistent 900mA, which isn't too bad... and would compare favourably with the output from a typical walwart type DC supply... and would be more consistent than from some PC's which can be very variable... and sometimes only supply 350-500mA.

I also think it's fair to say that once we leave our "main" listening rooms, we begin to make listening compromises [in fact, we even make compromises within those critical listening areas].

So all we're trying to do is reduce those compromises and find better ways to listen... even if we recognise that it's never going to sound like an 818v3 feeding D8kSE's.
