Fixing to get a SR-71B and am having my DT1350s balanced. I am going to enjoy playing balanced vs. single ended with these.

Maybe by next weekend if everything comes together at the right time.  Things are now being updated and shipped.

That's just great ! i have the clas solo + continental v2 now as portable .
Treble is abit too sharp for me. wonder if it is because the silver mini to mini and lod cable causing that . may be i should run in the clas solo more as it is very new .

i am very keen to know if there's other amp that could pair well with solo better than continental.

cheers

Have you burned in the Continental V2? I would give it 100-300 hours before reaching any conclusions. Hope that it works out.

 

CLAS + Stepdance or 2Stepdance is spectacular IMHO. Very smooth yet fast and detailed - not at all bright.

By next weekend I may have the V2 available but certainty not with 300 hours on it. Nor will the iBasso DB2 have any real hours on it, nor will the Silver wire connectors either.  Just out of the box impression is all that I will be able to muster next weekend if everything comes in on time.

I run the continental V2 with XLO burn in pink noise signal for about 80 hours in total over 2 weeks . I think it should roughly represent 150 hours of music running it. however. Solo is just few hours in use. should I do the same for Solo ?

 

Thanks for pointing toward stepdance . I will take a look .

I saw couple of head-fi video that jude is pairing CLAS with SR71B so I have an impression the pairing should be good. 

 

anyways I look forward for your incoming review comparing few portable amp. of my list.

cheers

Someone on the previous page asked about SR-71B with Edition 8's.  I'm running a pair of Edition 8's with iPod Touch + CLAS Solo + SR-71B.  Unbelievable combo.  I'm mostly a classic rock and modern rock guy - this rig definitely delivers.  Sometimes I would prefer a little more bass, but that's on the 8's, not the SR-71B.

It certainly can't hurt. When I say burn in, I don't necessarily mean that you should put it aside for the burn in process. I usually just listen along (although I may allow equipment to keep running while I am away from my music). What I am saying is that if a piece of equipment sounds bright or edgy, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions until the components have settled. That requires play time.

I'm wondering the exact same thing, I wan't to buy the sr71b, but after discovering the mk3, i want to know which one is best. I heard they are about equal when using balanced, but what about the SE performance between the two? because if the mk3 beats the 71b in SE performance, then i might get mk3 instead. What i really want to see is a stepdance v mk3 v sr71b, anyone?
