| Review: Ray Samuels Audio Apache Headphone Amplifier Amplifier One more comment comparing comfort:The Staxes, while comfortable and do not make me sweat at at all,still press on my head somewhat and I find myself adjusting them a lot.I am always aware of them.The Grados are super-comfortable and feel great, l... | |
| Review: Ray Samuels Audio Apache Headphone Amplifier Amplifier The Stax generates exquisitely pure, continuous, beautiful images that are well defined and have very distinct boundaries. Tonality is perfect from the sweet highs tothe firm and clear bass. There is an overall fluid sound; everthing just flows. T... | |
| Kharma 3.2.2 Thank you. Yep, Wilson also loves the Focal titaniumafter all these years. | |
| Kharma 3.2.2 Have they changed/improved the high-frequency driver?Is it still the Modified Focal Titanium one? Is it still a metal tweeter? | |
| Midrange Better Than Harbeth or Spendor? How are vocals on Harbeths?I've always thought ribbons didthe best job with vocals but I'm curious how Harbeths compare in this area. A lot of dynamic speakers fall short in this area (to my ears) with buzzy, digital-sounding vocals even though th... | |
| Midrange Better Than Harbeth or Spendor? Mids? Apogee Stages if you can find them and cope with them if they break. Best, most natural midrange tonality at any price, along with sweet, relaxing highs(at the cost of deep bass or much soundstage).Above is IMHO... (No flames please, just on... | |
| Anything better than Magnepan 1.6? Hey bbchem, I'll listen to anyone who had Apogee Stages.Thanks in advance for any comparison of these Rubys you mention to the Stages. The Stages always seemed more livethan anything I ever heard (I owned them once), even though they did not have ... | |
| Upgrade time way past : Amp/Pre or Int for $1000 If you are really counting your pennies try thenew Onkyo A9555 integrated for $500-$550.I've got one for a small remote system and it's pretty impressive--little grunge, good definition, natural bass,no strange artifacts in any part of the spectru... | |
| ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI-4: how hot? OK, thanks again! | |
| ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI-4: how hot? Thanks. Is the fan noisy? | |
| Headroom Max $3000 headphone amp. Opinions anyone? Thanks guys. No, I never use the Max's crossfeed; don't like it.I use Grado GS1000 'phones.I also heard some dryness with the Max and my old Senn650s.The AKG 701s were a somewhat more liquid but the imagesare small.The Grados are way more liquid a... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner I have 2 Kimber Palladium PK10s and thought the extreme highs to be to pronounced when used on my EMM transportand dac (both the SE version).After trying TG and some other cords, I foundShunyata Anaconda VXs to do the best job on the EMM boxes. Ho... | |
| emmlabs into wall outlet or into shunyata hydra? Grado GS1000s with Moon Audio Black Dragon headphonecable. Also AKG 710s (stock cable). AlsoStax Omegas/007t. The Grados are close to perfect,IMHO--tonality, spacing, image size, ideally balanced between detail and relaxed-sounding-ness,and comfor... | |
| emmlabs into wall outlet or into shunyata hydra? I have my emm-se boxes plugged into the Hydra 8(All Anaconda AC cables-Alphas & VXs). It just smooths things out. I even have my amp in the Hydra (a little less slam and bass definition but sweeter highs).I also have my heaphone amp (old headr... |
