| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? I don't even know what kind of tubes it uses.I believe it uses 6CG7 (also 6fq7) - fairly common and not expensive. My preamp uses (only) two of those tubes and I like it very much.No experience with the Stax stuff to comment on.Marco | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Holy guacamole! "only" 240 clams, for a pair of TUBES?? Just how long can these tubes be expected to LAST (I'm reeeaaally hoping you say at LEAST a year or more)?Well, yes, they should last at least a year. I don't know about the Svets, but the WE... | |

| Ideck vs. Computer Speakers I've liked the Swan M200's. Do a Google on them and check out some other comments and reviews and you will understand why. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with your other choices so couldn't compare.Marco | |
| Tube Playback for Apple iPod... Definitely check out the Musical Fidelity X-10v3 tube output buffer to put a definitive end to this thread. Tube playback for ipod is easy, cheap & necessary. Hooked up in between your ipod and your preamp it makes ipod sound like a multi thou... | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners Blue is a classic for sure, and I'd agree, find the LP if you have a rig. I made a comment similar to yours about the CD in another thread and had several folks jump down my throat saying that the CD was an outstanding one on their players. I thin... | |

| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Ah, sorry I missed that you might be rolling 300B's. WhooHaaa, then you are talking some bucks.

| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Duane sounds like a good friend to have. I had a B&K EX140 which is the dual-mono version of yours. It is most definitely a kinder gentler version of SS with a softness that many folks like to call "tube-like" while still delivering the SS goo... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? My profound ignorance regarding tubes is becoming increasingly apparent to me. No call for embarrasment at all. That's pretty much where most of us started. If you've read the responses so far, then at least you know SOMETHING. Besides, with much ... |
