| THE05: DeVore Fidelity: comments I heard the original Gibbon 8's at In Living Stereo in NYC a couple years back. Great sound for ordinary looking speakers. The new Super's DO look great. WIsh I could have heard them! | |
| any fixes for impedance mismatch Check out BVaudio.com, the Sound Refiner SR-10. Not sure this is the answer, but worth a look. I used one to great succes driving long cables from a passive pre.... | |
| Sonic Impact T-Amp giant killer? Well, I like the flavor a LOT! :-)Been using one of these to drive my AKG K-1000 headphones to some BEAUTIFUL music!!And combined with a tube preamp (good advice on AA), it played some great music. The Teac Tripath amp is even better, a little mor... | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth No further mention of "Toward The Within"? This live set is well-recorded, and gives nothing away in terms of the music IMO.Rakim and Yulunga are standouts there, but all the songs are good.Also, Lisa Gerrard has done some solo music aside from th... | |
| The best headphone amplifier for Senheiser HD-650 Head-Fi is the place to go. To get the energy of Rock music into the 650's for not too much $, probably the Gilmore Lite from www.headamp.com would be the best amp. $299 with P.S. upgrade option for another $175 I believeGood luck. | |

I have a Gilmore Dynahi DIY being built for me now.You may want to check out headphone.com, they apparently have a Cardas cable upgrade for the 595's now :-) I have the 650's with Moon Audio... | |
| What differences betw alpha core python vs. goertz They are the same company. If you want to know the differences between the Goertz "flat ribbon" cables and the Python "twisted ribbon," I have owned the MI-2's and Pyhton MI-2's.The flat MI-2's seemed to be more dynamic, faster sounding, but with ... | |
| Managing stiff PC on lightweight component I have the DV-45, and run into the same problem. I simply put a heavy weight on the front top of the player, as it also helps dampen some vibrations near the drawer/motor.Not sure if this would counteract the other vibration control devices you're... | |
| Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide Excellent and detailed post. I have sold things here that have had the price raised over time, but I always reflect the list price when I bought, sometimes adding that "current list is xxxx" in my ad posting itself.And I echo the comments about th... | |
| Early 90s digital: whatz up? A Badly recorded album on 4AD? Hmmmm, I thought a fair amount of them were pretty limited. Xmal Deutschland, Cocteau Twins (especially earlier ones), some Lush, soem Throwing Muses, etc etc.Ivo and his tech crew were very good, but I often thought... | |
| Anybody else get a Rowland Concerto? Great news, Streetdaddy! I am still enjoying your old Belles, it goes very well with my Gallo Ref 3's. Happy to see you reached your Nirvana point :-)Todd - chams_ukPS - I'd be curious to compare this amp (ICE technology, right?) to some of the ot... | |
| CD/SACD Players with volume control under 4K? Personally, I think you might be better off with a dedicated player, and either use a passive preamp (especially a transformer-based unit), or something like the Ultimate Attenuators from Ric Schultz @ EVS, www.tweakaudio.com.This allows you to ge... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 and Headphones I have heard they work well together. Check out www.head-fi.org, lots of good info and experience there.....Todd - chams_uk | |
| New Krall /Costello/ SACD is very good... Whatjd, you nailed it right on I think. I like EC's writing, so I enjoyed the disc. Actually I think Diana Krall sings the songs well, her voice fits them; it MUST be love :-) | |
