| Best headphone amp for new Senn 650's Sarah- the folks over at head-fi are often younger and/or really into DIY and specs. There is a lot of discussion about rolling op-amps, and how something must sound better 'cause it it has bigger tubes and heat sinks and all. Some of the serious ... | |
| Necessary Attire Yee-hah!!!! | |
| Did you ever just want to simplify? Sounds like my office system or something like it. CAL-CL-10 direct to Berning Microzotl to Sequerra Met 7 monitors. Great for a small room, with headphone capabilities as well. About $2.2 k on the 'gon, including LAT ics and T-14 Silversonic spea... | |
| Best headphone amp for new Senn 650's Before I spend 700-1500 on an HR Max (I just sold one) I would try the Berning microzotl, which can also act as a one source integrated and can easily drive 90 dB speakers in a small room. New its about $800 (hard to find used, but should set you ... | |
| How do I power up my monoblocks? IMO, one of the values of monoblocks is that you can position them close to the speakers and use short speaker cables. Then it might be easier to reach in behind to turn them on. Good luck. | |

| Small Monitor for Berning Micro Zotl? Sorry, have to disagree with Bemoptil23. I am using a microZotl to drive Sequerra Met 7s in a 14x 10' office. The current version (mine are older) are rated at 91 dB, and I can get to head banging volume at 1:00 on the volume pot. OTOH, if you wan... | |
| New York Audio Labs - Moscode Super It Phono Stage Why not contact George Kaye. He probably designed "IT". The # I have is (212) 779-3713. Otherwise, run a search on George Kaye Audio and you should get his web site. | |
| Cobalt cable theory on bi-wiring. Fact or fiction? Yikes, Zikes. I stand corrected. | |
| Cobalt cable theory on bi-wiring. Fact or fiction? Well, they may be right if the jumpers are in place at the speaker end, but of course, why leave them in place if you are bi-wiring? | |
| David Berning MicroZotl Question? I am using one is a small office and it works just fine. I have Sequerra Met 7 Mk IV monitors which are, I believe, 88 or 89 dB. Another good choice at a lower price point is Acoustic Energy Aegis Ones (there was a pair listed yesterday). Or if yo... | |
| Pre-amp cables of different length? Or not?? Jbatlanta- There is a much more economical soltn. Just parallel the inputs buy soldering a jumper across them. If you are not sure how to do it, first check with the manufacturer to make sure there is no unusual circuitry involved; if not and you'... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Correction- Now he's got me taking the darn umbilical apart and re-soldering it. Stay tuned boys and girls, reading voltages is one thing, soldering may be a whole different story. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century In case anyone is interested, Mick walked me thru trouble-shooting it w/a multimeter. Found out that there was no voltage to the pre, but voltage out at the PS (360 vdc, careful there, boys and girls. Traced it to a broken center (hot) wire on the... |
