"Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question)
@desktopguy ah thanks man. I read your previous post too fast. appreciate the reply though. I just ordered a set of Rothwell attenuators, so hopefully they'll do the trick.

Atma-Sphere MP3 or something else?

@tubegeek1950 oh i most definitely agree.. i love the sound a tube amplifier brings to the table. i do have a tube headphone amp with pre capability; it is in my other system, but am able to move it around to hook it up into the intended Raal chai...

I think, if you get the chance, you really have to try the Raal SR1a ribbon headphones for yourself to understand what I'm trying to achieve.That thing is accurate, sharp, precise, like a surgical scalpel. Some blunting would actually be good lol!
