Best HD800 Amp - Page 30  

That was my guess as well ;) Probably not the erm...cost effective way to upgrade the WES even if you were up for it.

SR-71Panorama – please present you serious your opinion, what and whay do you think it etc. We are NOT interested on „picture“ (which I can not so see). We are interested on topics for discussion and argumentation.

Nebby – the electric signal goes to device and the output is again electric sign, inside headphones is transformed to accoustic waves which you listen in your ears.

Spritzer – You obtained the chance to present your skills and knowledge in description of one amp. You obtained concrete serious pictures. And you failed. You was NOT able say serious information, details which expert can present. I do not understand why you attack other producers if you are able present only „ugly“ speach about other devices, but you are NOT able present any solutions. Your notorial attacks are only subjective personal opinion based on „some“ partial information with which you are no table do right conclusions (how things regularly work), nothing more. If you have not device in hands, you can say only speculations, or very potential things where is discutable their addition insight actual solutions or concepts, or, if it is not solved by other approach which you not see. That’s all.

PS: When I sent these pictures to dr. Rudi Stor, he said me very detailed information. Which components are used (brand – class – model type), the principle of circuits, how are solved several problems, approximation how much costs the items used insight and how much this amp may cost. What is the strong and weak part of this concept etc. He seen only pictures as you had the chance. When you are expert, this info you can present without any problems, like exercise. If you are expert you are able do half page of expertise information description, but you said vague ballast of nothing concrete. That’s all.

 In the meantime ...

@ neptius whats the point discussing some random unknown amp which no one care anyway...we are talking bout the GREATNESS of DOCTOR rudistor right now...

spritzer can you post some photo of the pcb with the sticker on it ?

You posted blurry shots of a couple of devices, purely to try and make spritzer trip up and fail.  How do you know that was Rudi said was accurate?  How do any of us know what he said at all?  We know you can't see the pictures and we also know you know nothing about electronic circuits other than fluff, so spritzer could have pasted something out of Star Trek and it wouldn't have had a clue what he was on about, nor have made any difference, as the intent in your post was clear.

Currawong – Casea Lyra is in the league of greatest solid single ended amps. This is excellent amp. This is NOT „random“ unknown amp, this is serious high quality amp where are used top quality components. HD 800 sounds great with this amp. But the greatest thing is the price because there are NOT calculated "auxiliary" things. Rudi showed pictures and said (sent me email) with information which I sent to author. And the author confirmed it that this information is right.

I am practically blind, so I can not see so pictures. It is true that the construction and used components say you a lot of information about the product quality. If there are used discrete components very carefully paired and installed, then this product is not miserable. I think, only very few devices can be better then this but the pricetag is here very attractive. This is solid SE amp + DAC and it costs only 1000. The reason is that you not pay (overcost) the amp with „auxiliary“ parts like adverts, brand name, expensive exhibitions or propagations, marketing etc. There is regular price derived from the price of components. (PS: Rudi approximated them with tollerance of 10th dollars, so he is true expert).

Mr. Vrana is going to create balanced version of the amp, and, naturally, version with DAC. So in this case, so the path in balanced from will be complete. He thinks about integration of binaural processing in pure analogue way too. Here is well known single ended solid amp – ZAMA HPA-1 which applies this technology – one very special circuit. In comparision with SPL Phonitor, ZAMA HPA-1 with binaural processing support sounds much much better, incomparable better. As you notorially know binaural processing in analogue way in balanced form sounds amazingly, wanderfully, because the circuits for it are connected more effectively, only in a few „bridges“ where it is most effective. When you want to have excellent binaural processing then you must have excellent pure concept, perfectly paired top quality components in version without BP. ZAMA is one example in SE solids where it successed.

If you want to know excellent top quality solid SE amp for HD 800, there are two.

Doctor WHO.

ZAMA or Casea are very small brands from Czech republic, one person style, so there are NOT pages in English. The Casea prepares them, so during one or two mounts they will be released.

I am sending you something what is in Czech language about ZAMA HPA-1 amp, where are pictures or specification.

Basic page (in Czech language):

Interconnection cable ZAMA (originally it is one Kraut cable)

Other documents in this page are reviews of very skillful audiophile enthusiasts. In hifi.slovanet.sk I presented my detailed review too.

So you're really trying to say:

Please describe me the picture, because I am practically blind.
