Any SS head amps that have tube like "warm" sound, especially in the treble - Page 3

Looking very closely at the C2.1. Seems like gd has a lot of supporters on Head -Fi. Anyone buy through PV & E?, they used to be real expensive but their prices seem comparable now & have the benefit of local back up if any problems.

I don't think any Audio-gd amp could be defined as bright (IMO), so I would recommend the Phoenix or C2.1. Also very powerful.

I'd also be interested if you thought the Headline or Graham Slee is the better amp, as you mentioned both earlier in the thread.
 



 

When I've reviewed the Headline 2, I didnt have LCD-2 at that time, only HD800, so cannot comment on that, but I liked Headline 2 very much, it's musical and very relaxed.

I loved both, the SRG2 and Headline2, they sound about the same. I just loved Headline2 a tad more just because of looks paired with NAPSC2

Never tried Fostex T50 though..

 

Choices, choices.... :-)
