  You could find Emotiva Mini-X as headphone amplifier thread on head-fi. It's good, cheap and easy solution.

 
Yeah, that's a good point.  Could drive some small speakers, too.  Maybe sometime next year I'll be inclined to play with that.

I'm using the Mini-X to power speakers on my desktop. Works really well, but I'll probably swap it out for my tube integrated. Love the tube sound.

  google: Zenph Glenn Gould. This is a recording recreating his 1955 Goldberg Variations Concert. The technology involved is best described at the Zenph website. You may find it interesting, I certainly do. The CD comes as a hybrid SACD and sounds incredible on headphones.

Do they recreate the heavy breathing, the singing along and the creaky chair? And, to be serious, does it sound like GG? I have seen it on HDtracks...

I see Mr. Bob is bidding on Lorenz Stuttgart 3mica.....good luck Bob!

 

[ThurstonX]

All right, those Lorenz E88CCs went for $405.  'fess up, who got 'em?

 

[gmahler2u]

Nope, not me, I wish i had money...I would go for it..In my opinion, $405 is bargin.  I suspect more than $500+ but it didn't go higher.
For this rarity item, it's bargin...

 

[gmahler2u]

Thurston did you see the Lorenz 3mica?  it's x3 tubes....it's on ebay.....

Agreed.  As the timer counted down, I entertained bidding higher, on the condition I sell off some of the Glass Menagerie.  But no.

Yep, they're on my watch list, but being a trio, I'm certain they'll go way beyond what I'd pay.

You are obviously a GG purist, no problem. I personally enjoy the purity of the recording, and the original. I am also a Keith Jarrett fan, no problem with "artifacts". Only you can decide if it sounds like GG. I didn't offer this as something to be picked apart, just another option in GG's legacy. Not your cup of tea???

Not me! What's the guess on the 3 - 3 Mica's? I'm saying $200.

I looked at all the pictures, never saw CCA on the tubes or boxes, these are not CCA's. Any other opinions?

good price!  I say that's about right...but people get soooo crazy over this tube.....LOL
anyways, good luck to you
