Hello Goners! I have been here for a bit, but never posted. I’d like to thank all of you for the last 4 days tossing an turning trying to figure out wtf I should use to drive my "High End furniture" with. It’s has been an, interesting trip, I finally gave up on page 50 something. A special thanks to all those that put in their hart and soul here. Chaz and Grinny? I have been looking at all the TJ dictum’s :), but could never get my mind around 1 or 20W when I was driving my DI with SS many times that and still not getting what "I" needed from them in terms balls to bone, forget the meat. lol :)
As the FNG, I have, very much appreciated all the ears here, but at as a lay person, at times I felt like I was watching a tennis match of the ultimate have to have... wait, this is better, or is it "Butter" answer.
In the end, or beginning, I’m going to try the Lyngdorf 2170 full boat. I have many tube amps and headphones HD 800, Utopia, HD 650 (my fav) ICAN KTE, WA7, LD stuff, but was driving my DI with a Cambridge CXA 80 mixing in the aforementioned as preamps here and there. The bottom line is that the CXA, is a bright amp, "to my ears" this via Tonnoy’s, Fluance and my upgraded DI’s.
I finally got to the point where it wasn’t about $$ or what was the best, I just wanted something great and something simple. "Clear the mechanism!" (Anyone?)
Anyway, the Lyngdorf 2170 is on the way and I shall go from there. No extra cables, no tube rolling, no 1940’s round special edition coffee pots, just music.
I think, at some point, we lose sight of what this is all about in the quest for something you can never attain.... perfection.
Glad to meet ya’ll
