| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Great Bill. Post your results once you get them. I'm sure it may be helpful to others with the Stax amp you have. I'll be curious to hear how they stack up to. Did the seller have any input on the subject? Have fun rolling!Marco | |
| Best 845 amp? Great thread Dean! Thanks for pointing that out. There's some excellent points made there. I heard a BelCanto SET 40, albeit briefly, and was impressed with what I heard. Not long enough to wax poetic on the experience though. Next time I'm in L.A... | |
| Analog point of entry... 2. I like the "hand on" ideaThere are numerous other websites for just that purpose...or so I'm told ;-) Marco | |
| What is an Audiophile? Jax2, I think put up a link to a series of definitionsActually, I just put up the very simple Merriam-Webster definition, but praised Slikric3000 for the link: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=audiophileLooks like a few good addition... | |
| Who woulda thought? Thanks Marco. I am using KR KT88s.Whoops, I'm thinking of a different amp (not the amp Howard had, though it was an Audion). Didn't know they made a KT88 SET. Cool beans. Never tried any KT88 SET amps so no recommendations there. I've only had tha... | |
| Who woulda thought? You are THERE my friend! You've succumbed to the call of the Sirens, and now you're having your way with them! I don't know your amp...actually Boa2 (Howard) had one of those amps and did some tube rolling - you might ask what his experience was. ... | |
| how much to $pend to claim i am an audiophile? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=audiophileGreat link Slikric3000! Marco | |
| how much to $pend to claim i am an audiophile? Don't let these scam artists con you out of your coin dude. Without the secret handshake you'll be laughed right out of the next meeting. The membership cards, and decoder rings are as easily faked as an E88CCa! But the secret handshake is the one... | |
| Miss your audio when traveling? I bring my Berning headphone amp, my 60GB ipod (WAV and Apple lossless files), and cans-of-choice. Last trip I had a pair of Swan M200 speakers too. Better than cable! There are smaller head amps than the Berning.Marco | |
| Paintings, Artwork, Poster's let's hear it. My current listening room (not the one posted as my "system" room which is in need of an update at this point), has two abstract paintings on the wall. The one I face directly when listening is an encaustic that shows a dark, monlolithic shape...c... | |
| Katie Melua, has anyone else bought her new LP? I didn't even know she was looking for me! Did you happen to see her video of "I Cried for You"? I think Hannibal Lechter directed it. You can access it from her homepageMarco | |
| New SET Amp Yes, it was the Caravelles I was thinking of. Aging man brain fart. I got the speaker wrong, but definitely the right Warren. Cool beans on the SET + zu...sounds like a nice combo. What made you give up the Caravelles and go SET?Marco | |
| New SET Amp Mike Sanders (Quicksilver) is working on putting the 300B SET amps, that I have a prototype pair of, into production. Rumor I heard was that he may have something by later this year. Not sure where he's aiming to put the pricepoint. That would be ... | |
| Tubes and microphonics Just one clarification Pablo - The Siemens I liked best were the E88CCa. They are not the same as the E88CC. You can see the entire range of various brands and pricing here to give you some idea of the relative price range. I never heard the Valvo... | |
