Well first, I'd like to say hello, my name is riley. I'm usually found at the speaker side of audio, but recently I've wanted to get into headphones. I've had my eye on the Beyerdynamics dt770 250 ohm, I know I will have to have an amp to drive these, but I'm not the best at amps currently...

Hi. I know there's many threads about amps for HD650 but I have a Musical Fidelity V-Can with my HD650 and SR125i and I'm thinking about buying a better desktop amp but how many do I need to spend to hear a noticeable improvement ? Are the Creek OBH21SE (400€) or the Musical Fidelity X-Can V8p...

Folks,   I am pretty new to the audiophile scene. I did not understand how visceral soundstaging and clarity can be until I heard the following album: https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=catalogdetail&valbum_code=HD707723004420   Brilliantly mastered and one of Steve Guttenberg's...

Hi All,   I just received my Concerto + StageDAC + T1. Here are the pictures I took. :-)   I will post impressions later after some listening sessions.      

Okay, okay - one tube amp and one SS amp.  Each to support you from first mid-fi to your upper (non-Stax) reaches without too much fear of limitation.   I'm looking at the Meier Concerto maybe paired with the StageDac.  My upper reaches would probably be LCD-2.  I currently have HD 650.  ...

Any idea of how to access the user manual for the audio concerto amp? The link on the website does not work. Should I send Jan an email?

thinking of upgrading my solo srg to concerto. The Meier will cost me £500 and hopefully i could raise £150 for my solo. will this be a worth while upgrade? or a waste of money thanks for any opinions

Hi folks,   I have a D10 and I was wondering exactly what is in the thread title. I mostly have low impedance headphones and I've tried them with hybrid amps, my tube amp, and my D10. Admittedly, I know they may not be the best choices for low impedance cans, but the differences were never...

I have pretty much decided to go with the Audeze LCD2 planar magnetic headphones as my next purchase. I have decided to drive them with a good solid-state amp. I would also like for it to have some synergy with my other cans as well, such as the Sennheiser HD600, AKG K340, and AKG K701...

Hello all,   This thread is for people who have owned both the HeadAmp GS-1 and the Meier Audio Concerto headphone amps, or compared them head-to-head. I have a HeadAmp GS-1 on backorder from Headamp, but I am thinking about cancelling the order because I have been waiting so long for it...

Well hello there!   I'm new in the wonderfull world of HIFI land and need some help... I've been listening to my Senn HD595 for a few years now and decided to upgrade. So I bought a Beyerdynamics DT880 - 600 ohm and am now looking for an amp to power this baby.   I've read pretty...

  I have had or heard the Matrix,Asgard, PS Audio GCHA and the Glite and I always preferred by a wide margin my Decware CSP-2 tube amp over all the solid state amps I have heard with my headphones. I was about to order a 6W Decware Taboo for my LCD2 when Sokolov decided he wanted to sell his...

I have come to appreciate open headphones that are relatively on the bright side of neutral. I have been spoiled by:   AD700 RE0 K701 DT880/32 DT990/600 (my fave so far) KSC75   I have bought a lot of headphones this year, but these are definitely the ones that stood out the...

Before I order this amp, I have little questions to be clarified.   My current setup:   MHDT Havana DAC --> WooAudio GES --(LoopOut)--> Wooaudio 2   Wooaudio2 does not have any LoopOut. So if I get Concerto hook up to Havana DAC, what are my options?   My best guess is to get RCA...

I currently have the HE-5LE paired up with a Meier-Audio Corda Opera (DAC+Amp).  I want to buy the Audio-GD DAC-19 DSP, which involves selling the Opera and getting a standalone Amp.   I know the prices are *very* different.  But ignoring that, what would pair better with the HE-5LE + DAC-19...

i m planning to buy a new headphone for my headfi system, i got concerto amp already,jazz pop female voice is my favorite,which one should i choose

I am quite new to head-fi, been using an iPod with B&O phones until about 5 months ago, when I bought a set of ATH M-50s & a Graham Slee Voyager... a match made in head-fi heaven.... for me at least. I have decided to Go the whole hog, and put together a system for home use. I Will be using...

Hello everyone, Im planning to improve my rig in search of audio nirvana (if it really exists ) this is my current set up: laptop-nuforce udac 2 - little dot mk3- beyer 990/250 i listen to vocal trance and electronic music. Sometimes jazz and some new age music. So the challenge is...

I am new to these forums. I am impressed with the knowledge and experience here and need help with a decision. I am planning on buying Sennsheiser HD 800 Headphones. I have had 650's in the past with a Grace 901 with satisfactory results. I cannot decide among the Burson 160, the Meier Audio...

I was reading the Meier Audio website and im looking to buy the Meier Cantate for a pair of Denon AH-D5000 headphones and it says "These are the last CANTATE.2 amplifiers produced!!!!!!!!!"

I appreciate tube design but passed on what always struck me as possibly noisy and finicky pieces to own.  After having looked at the latest Woo Black Beauty by musicman59 here I read up on these..........then looked............then starred..........!!!!!!!!!!!  Just beautiful.  Plus the...

Hey everyone!  Although I've been a longtime reader of head-fi, I rarely post...but before I drop some serious coin (at least for me) to improve my desktop setup, I thought I'd solicit some opinions from all of you experts out there first.   I have about $2,500 to spend (though this is...

Votes please!  I'm leaning toward the Burson but all the writing about the Concerto has me thinking.  

I've saved up enough to upgrade to a higher level portable amp.   My mind was already set on the Arrow 12HE.   But the numerous posts I've read of delays and months of waiting temporarily stopped my purchase.   Then I read recently the glowing review by Skylab of the Stepdance, which...

Doing a simple poll to see which amp the general head-fi populous is curious about hearing paired with the LCD-2's.  If you have another not in the list, post it in a reply.
