| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Swampwalker and Marco, Thanks for the info. I'll go back to Radio Shack for "round two" pretty soon. Glad to hear that biasing is not that precise. Will look for Cat. #22-810, if available. This (entire thread) has been a great learning experience... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? "Get yourself an inexpensive digital multimeter from Radio Shack that reads in milivolts."-MarcoMarco:That sounded easy enough. When I checked, Radio Shack had something like six or seven different models, and all different price ranges, and I cou... | |
| Need Help with Dacs. FWIW:I don't know that much about DAC's either, but will say that the Dodson DAC that I own makes a HUGE positive difference in my system. I got it for ABOUT 1800 or so and it retailed for around 5000. The unit I own is a Dodson 217 Mark II D DAC ... | |
| Follow-up to my alien aduction-like anecdote. "remember, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that people/aliens aren't really out to get you!"Well said, Art. (So hold on to your Verity Parsifocal Encores!) | |
| Sub Suggestions Rel Acoustics makes some excellent subs. I don't know what the Aerial SW 12 costs, but the Rel Storm 3 can often be found right here on Audiogon for around a thousand, or so. I own a Rel Storm 3 and love it. Quadophile has written an EXCELLENT rev... | |
| Anyone use Audio Physic Avanti III? By the way, there's a pair being offered for sale here on Audiogon. I don't know the seller(s) at all and just am posting a link to the ad. Here it is:Avanti III's for $7495 | |
| Speaker recommendations please Intuitive Design Summits. With the stands, 5000. Spectacular. Mine are integrated with a Rel Storm III, with its crossover set at 27 hertz. I've reviewed them here on Audiogon. In the 7000 dollar price range, there are a lot of potentially great c... | |
| recomended musical sub for 2 channel audio I love my Rel Storm 3. Quadophile has written a GREAT review of the Rel Strata mk III:Review of Rel Strata mkIII by Quadophile-Bill | |
| Sub Suggestions Doesn't Aerial make a sub? They'd likely match your Aerial speakers.-Bill | |
| Anyone use Audio Physic Avanti III? The Avanti III appears to be a VERY highly regarded speaker. There are several owners who have posted here on Audiogon, and they're a very happy bunch, it seems. Here's a link to another thread where the question about whether the Audio Physic lin... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? WOW! Marco and Swampwalker, you two guys are GREAT! You explained it so well that I think I actually UNDERSTAND it (we'll see of course-LOL!). Thanks to both of you for taking the time to clarify that procedure. Now it's just a matter of waiting f... | |
| If $ was no object what speaker would you buy? Intuitive Design Denalis with Dale Pitcher himself tweaking them to perfection, on site. They'd be in a room that he designed and built, with all of his best electronics and cables, and they'd have their own dedicated electrical circuits and trans... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Swampwalker,Thanks for the information. Tube biasing sounds very difficult and time-consuming. I do have the Stax manual, though. I'll give it a shot after the tubes arrive and the headset returns from being repaired.-Bill | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Audioari1:Thanks for the tip. Those seem to be priced reasonably, too. Now that I have the Stax setup, I'm uncertain about whether to keep or sell the HD600's, but if I do keep the Sennheisers, then there will be a lot of potential amps to conside... | |
| Suggestions for a budget amp If you really want to get exotic, but still on the cheap, you may also want to look into Nohr amps.-Bill |
