No problems Rick, I know you werent, but I felt obliged to say something, since people are accusing me (correctly) of having severe upgraditis, but my point is, that if there were a good selection of cans and amps to listen to at hifi shops, this situation may never have had arisen for me. Even when I do audition at shops, I am in the main shop area and its impossible to hear what the cans are really like with all that noise. I know I am close. I am going to try the Solo soon, but if that doesnt work out, then I am going to try the PPA, as several users have had great success with that and the CD3000. The PPA is a high end DIY headphone amp BTW.
