| Any experience with TAD speakers ? I have a pair of R1 MkII and they sound incredible. It really depends on the rest of the system but I think they are the most revealing speaker on the planet. I've had Vandersteen Ultra 55's, Evolution Acoustics MM3 and Apogee Diva Ultimates which... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story? I still miss the XV1s but jeez the XV1t does some amazing jaw-dropping stuff. At times it's so fast and effortlessly detailed I can't believe my system is doing that? The XV1t never gets flustered no matter how complex and dynamic the music gets, ... | |
| Phono preamp Pass Labs XP-17 or XP-27 Although I have absolutely nothing to complain about with the XP 25 I did get and set up the XP27. At the same time, I also upgraded to the XV1t. I'd say the XP27 does have a bigger soundstage and is slightly more dynamics. With the XV1t things at... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story? Well, I have about 25 hours on the XV-1T now. My first impressions are that it is a little more tweeky on setup and I'm still playing with that some. The soundstage is bigger I'm getting used to images far past the speakers left to right, the bass... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s What is the REAL story? I’m running a VPI HRX with the 12" 3D arm (not sure I like it better yet than my 12.6???) and a Pass Labs 27 for the phono. I’ve owned a few Dynavectors and I was running a XV-1s for some time before the maid decided to clean my table and dismembe... | |
| Phono preamp Pass Labs XP-17 or XP-27 I thought my XP15 was awesome and was very pleased with the sound, then I picked up the XP25. The 25 was much better right out of the box, how good? Running a Dynavector XV1s through the 25 and my Ayre KXR Twenty and Krell 402E it sounds more dyna... | |
| What headphone amp to use with Sennheiser HD800? The Bass with the Krell KSA 5 is comandingly rich and wonderful. Deep, Powerful and controlled, bottomless and effortless. This headphone can do Bass with a powerful amp! I bet the Pass Labs and Valhalla II sound very close. | |
| What headphone amp to use with Sennheiser HD800? So Far I have tried my HD800S with my Mal Valve on both the 8 ohm and 32ohm settings the 32 was much more balanced sounding, It sounded great somewhere half way between the Stax 007 and the LCD3. It sound very natural with a rich and prominent mid... | |
| Mal Valve Headphone amp III Well after letting the tubes settle in some I accidentally damaged the left driver of the Stax 007 headphones, not sure how to get that addressed but I do want to try the 009 model.I've tried about 10 different headphones with the Mal Valve now an... | |
| Mal Valve Headphone amp III I have not heard the iF1 iEnergizer Pro at all(but curious). I own the SR 007II but not the SR 007I so I'm not sure about that either yet. I wish Schiit Audio made a Stax amp. I have easily modified a few of their products with huge success. I'm p... | |
| Mal Valve Headphone amp III OK having a little fun now trying different headphones with this set up. More on that later, if you have looked up anything on the Mal Valve you know it’s extremely versatile. I have it hooked up to my OPPO 95 (balanced, it sounds better than the ... | |
| Mal Valve Headphone amp III A few notes about the 6V6 Telefunkin and Gold Lion tubes. The Telefunkin is more more substantial looking and has heavily saturated harmonics which is amazing on the piano and violins as you just kickback and try and take in all the great complexi... | |
| Mal Valve Headphone amp III OK have tried a couple other 6V6 tubes now with the Gold Lion ECC81 and Mal Valve 184's in there.With the Gold Lion 6V6GT it really sounds much better, much more balanced and deeply harmonic compared to the JJ tubes. The sound is now far beyond wh... | |
| dCS Puccini Clock For the subject of this post the clock does make a dramatic difference. I have the Debussy for my headphone rig with a Verona clock and the Paganini full stack for my big rig and on either the clock makes a huge difference. I also have a 10mgz ref... | |
| Amps for Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage I have had a lot of Krell gear myself and am currently running a Krell KCT to MSB 202 amps and the sound is stunning. Much smoother than the Krell amps but faster too, very very fast! There is so much more music there with the MSB 202 ampsthey are... |
