| please help with tube amp thks the 300b does play, but you will need an efficient speaker 90dB minimum. Great for folk, jazz, bluegrass, vocal, not for rock in most cases. | |
| Can the Sennheiser HD650 do BIG SCALE classical??? I'm in W. Hartford, CT. Supratek long gone, but you are welcome to come down anytime. we can run the hp amps off of the big rig or off an Audio Aero Prima. I guess I should update my system... | |
| Can the Sennheiser HD650 do BIG SCALE classical??? Goatboy- Wish I knew, I never did such a comparison. However, I will say 2 things-1. Senns not known for being dynamic2. There are HP amps out there known for being substantially better than MG Head. If you are in NE US, you are welcome to come ov... | |
| Help Loud pop when muting BAT VK-3i preamp Hard enough to get a claim paid from UPS with visible obvious shipping damage. Not likely to get anything that route. High cost of 6 packs are due to each containing 6 large expensive capacitors. It is an expensive upgrade to most BAT units ($500,... | |
| Can the Sennheiser HD650 do BIG SCALE classical??? The MG head is not the best amp out there. Not that it is bad, but you can do much better. And there are some classical fans at head-fi. I also agree with Robm that while the 650s are good, they are no substitute for the K1000s or as I call them, ... | |
| best sounding small speakers I had a pair of the Met7s and I agree with Sd. I wish I had not sold them. | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? You cannot use the STax amp to drive conventional phones, because the circuit includes voltage (580v I believe for the Pros) to energize the electrostatic diaphragms. | |
| Is this considered a "balanced" cable? If you use the adapter, you are not running "balanced and you will likely get the same effect as running RCAs (although the adapter may introduce some alteration to the sound). | |
| Merlin VSM MM/MX Super BAM Upgrade I have not had my MMs upgraded to MXs, but I did have my BAM upgraded and it is the real deal. Better in pretty much every way. Well worth the cost, which was not out of line at all, IMO. However, you may want to consider the GRs. They are the bes... | |
| Plasma 42 inch .... Yeah, and those bugs are not provider specific. I have been noticing some synch problems on the Comcast HD feed recently. | |
| Accuphase C-200 "COMP" button - What does it do? In the old days, those loudness circuits were often called loudness compensation. | |
| home theater speakers newbie question If you are willing to go used, my recommendation for used would be a full complement of NHT Super=zeros all around. With subs, these are very fine little speakers and should cost you about $400 not counting a sub. For a little more you could have ... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Typo yesDifferences btwn 404 and Lambda Pros were subtle.Audiocubes may be a gray market dealer. IIRC, the amps they offer come with a stepdown transformer. Many folks on head-fi-org have dealt with them, check over there.I agree with Robm321 abou... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Md- Only you can decide about the ergonomics. The 6fg7 aka 6cg7 tube the stax uses is inexpensive. the SRM-T1 amp, IIRC is an older amp as are the Lambda pros and you should know that b4 you buy; also that service is provided on properly imported ... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Md- The 300 sei is a 300b-based, single ended integrated amp with a headphone jack. The 300b output tubes are expensive but it has great midrange and since I mostly listen to acoustic instrumentation and voice, its a good match. The AKGs have a ve... |
