| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Marco:Thanks for the advice. There will certainly be a learning curve with this, that's for sure! Duane had me try a tube preamp a little over a year ago on my system that had a B&K ST 140 amp, Paradigm Studio 100 V3's, and the Rel Storm 3. Th... | |
| Audio Physic Caldera mkii...still good? Richard:I'd be EXTREMELY surprised if you didn't just LOVE the Calderas. The older ones retailed for around 20,000 dollars US and even though that's high, I thought that their performance was in line with that price, although I couldn't afford the... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? My profound ignorance regarding tubes is becoming increasingly apparent to me. Yikes! This is downright embarrasing! I know nothing about this topic--->NOTHING. | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Swampwalker:Tube rolling sounds like a pretty intense undertaking. I may have to wait a while before going to those lengths. Checked out the Cary site and tried my best but couldn't figure out what the Cary 300sei is. Any further hints would be ap... | |
| help with s.s. amp upgrade Timtopper:The Odyssey Extreme monoblocks somethimes can be purchased used here on A'gon for around 2000 dollars. I have no experience with any amp to compare them to other than the B&K ST140 I owned previously. I wrote a review on these here o... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Swampwalker,Hey, thanks for the quick reply! You said:Be aware that if you tube-roll the 006t, the biasing is a rather complicated procedure that involves iterative adjustments. If you decide you like it and want a near new hp extension cable, let... | |
| A simple question from the new guy .... Waaaaay back when, when I had a turntable that worked, I found that Perm-O-Stat by Stanton was excellent for basically ELIMINATING static. This meant that the records got a LOT less dirty. I cannot say whether the application of this stuff decreas... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Quick update: Stax Lambda Pro headphones and some sort of a matching Stax Tube headphone amp to be dropped off at my house for auditioning on Monday evening, 1/9/06. Swampwalker, or anyone else--->any thoughts? Thanks. | |
| Which of your component purchases was "magical"? In order of excellence (unscientific, and not the same type of components, but hey, this isn't a scientific journal either, so.....):1)Intuitive Design Summit Loudspeakers: ----->>>Phenomenal, almost beyond belief--hard to capture in word... | |
| Audio Physic Caldera mkii...still good? Are you KIDDING??? The OLD three box Calderas that I once heard were the finest I can remember (except for probably the Intuitive Design Summits--see footnote). The OLD Calderas were a very special speaker and probably among the most fantastic lou... | |
| Speaker preference Dali, Audio Physic, Von Swiekrt You may want to contact the following member, who also owns a pair of the Avanti 3's and has said very favorable things about them: Jtcedinburgh | |
| OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE Aldavis/Jim:Well, if you ever do find someone to do the test, I'd like to know the outcome. I'm a big believer in emperic testing. Here's a big reason why: I once read and researched a line of loudspeakers that looked great on paper, were aestheti... | |
| Thinking of adding a subwoofer -- my learnings Single Rel Storm 3 works great in my system. Downward firing, with crossover set at 27 hertz. No longer made, but readily available used. I've been mostly UNABLE to localize it, even though it's in the corner. Deepest bass usually seems to emanate... |
