| Aleph 3 with Micro Utopia? I haven't heard them with this amp but I assume that monitors definitely benefit from higher power despite being efficient. Their impedance drops to 4 ohms easily. If you're into the chamber music and small band than it migt be OK but for large or... | |
| Headphones-How to Connect? Sennheiser are high impedance ear-phones that might not be handled with CD-player or even preamp headphone jack. In most cases head-phone amplifier is recommended for more pleasure to your ears.Try to get Earmax or visit www.headphone.com to selec... | |
| Aleph 3 with Micro Utopia? certainly, not enough power. might even clip.consider plinius SA100 -- super amp!or vtl MB100 that you can get used for the same price as aleph 3 used. | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Redkiwi,some people do understand it and some people don't and still believe that there is a break-in of electrical components and wires.truly, nothing has to be scientific to prove that break-in crap. | |
| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 I've got it used for $850 but the new price on the receipt was $1889 for the regular version. | |
| Speaker Cable directionality: reversable?? if they're shielded than on the amp's end. technically this helps to avoid an influence of micro-phonics. if the level of micro-phonics or near-by power sub-station is very high the directionality is recommended. otherwise there will be no differe... | |

| Speaker Cable directionality: reversable?? they may be shielded but for speaker cables in most cases it's all crap. | |
| Aleph 3 with Micro Utopia? probably none, he...he! | |
| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 sorry, you're right the input is MOSFET. whattadumbami, I messed up everything in my head... probably I did loading experiments too long time ago and forgot. I don't know if it's possible to find PH3 for 1,5k brand new... I took mine from the orig... | |
| aurios isolation and espresso ...yep, a real listeners also listen to unplugged music... | |
| Am I nuts or what? almost all vinyls after 80's were digitally mixed and i see nothing wrong in sound on most of them. WATT, ECM labels made out every recording excellent. although i can't just through digital despite not paying too much attention on upgrading my di... | |
