| Antique Sound Labs Headphone Amp I have not listened to any other headphone amps but bought the MG Head DT, Sennheiser HD600 combo after listening at my local dealer. It sounds like tubes, lush and full, maybe lacking a bit in midrange/lower treble punch but very easy to listen t... | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? I'll have to go along with the Manley Stingray. It is a nice sounding amp also, a bit weak in the power department compared to some of the other recommendations but damn sexy and was designed by Eve Anna Manley who looks pretty good herself. I thi... | |
| 'L' Shaped Listening Rooms. What works? I closed my L shaped room in utilizing french doors which maintain the open feeling and light but sonically reshapes the room. Every other acoustic remedy I tried was a waste of time and money. | |
| You get what you pay for... I purchased a D500SE as a source for an ASL tube headphone amp mainly because I needed a light weight player to move to different rooms. It sounds great using Sennheiser HD600 phones. I too have experienced the loss of ouput and static but thankfu... | |
| Best Tube Int under 4K? Cary SLI50, pure class "A" 30 watts with E34L output tubes sounds like at least double that with an incredible extension at both frequency extremes. Dynamics both macro and micro are excellent coupled with a neutral midrange. If I had to give up a... | |
| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions Hey Garfish, I'm starting to warmup to this a little bit on the first five tracks. The recording certainly isn't very clean and has a nasty top end, this on a very forgiving tubed preamp/amp combo, pity the the listener with solid state electronic... | |
| B W 802N how much power? I have my N802's in a 14x15 room with an 8-11 ft. vaulted ceiling that is open at top extending into another 10x25 ft room. I was using a Classe CA300 which had more than adequate power, probably a little too much as the soundstage was humongous, ... | |
| Class "A" Tube Amp Temps? 1st Time Tuber I can tell you that the heat is normal. My Cary SLI50 puts out considerable heat for a 30w amp and also uses tube rectification which will add some heat due to the extra tubes. | |
| Good In-Wall Speakers? Try Triad Design at Triadspeakers.com. I have a three piece set of their "in room" speakers and they are great and I know they have a large selection of affordable "in wall" speakers. | |
| Is the Live Music Reference Correct? No. TAS exults live unamplified music instead of what we get from most live perfoemances, hard to find for the music I'd like to hear. The volume is always way too loud for me at most jazz and rock venues even though I listen at what I consider to... | |

| Stunned by a cable upgrade Sean said it best, if it sounds good don't change it and muck it up trying to keep up with the latest and greatest. | |
| Do your Cables migrate thru your system? Some cables migrate in and out and some seemingly out to the closet forever but then again there could arise some occasion like you want to try out a sub with an outboard cross-over and suddenly you need some cables and so what if you think they'r... | |
| Tight Bass Thanks for all the responses. It has helped me better understand the term. Sean's in depth response was very enlightening as was Najo on his perspective of the pace/timing aspect and the trade off he is happy with. | |
| Best headphones under 800.00 USD I will also recommend the HD600 and they sound great with any music I've sent through them, mostly jazz and rock. |
