You guys are lucky to be in the US - I just bought Spotify Premium as am in the UK. The quality difference of premium versus free is readily discernable and really rather exceptional. I can't say it beats my home ripped lossless AAC collection of 330hours and physical media (although some wagner...

Is that still the case between version A and version B? Looking at the website it appears that both version use ACSS. Where did you read the difference between voltage and current gain modules?? ty

No worries Jaunty, it's a common issue, but unfortunately I did not find anyone who would take it who was local to me so I could drop it off. There is one store in Oxford who would do it for me, but I no longer study there and it was expensive.   Instead, I bought HD650. Very much different...

what about MKVII from little dot?

just a gentle bumpity bump. Dad is heading to the US so I can ship a US amp to to his office there. New list: Little Dot MKVII (tons of power, balanced upgrade path, cheap...but might be harsh less good SQ) Lehmann Rhinelander (beautiful sound...but so little info) Slee solo II (loyal...

audio-affair in birmingham apparently came up when i searched for it.

Thanks guys - I think i am falling down a slippery slope and am also considering the little dot MKVII with that list. Yes, i know its balanced and i only have an unbalanced DAC...but still 400mw SE into HD650 is pretty neato for £350 including tax+shipping. Then of course there is also...

Little Dot MKVII from little tubes looks very hunky - balanced for $400.

Hi all - havent been able to find much info on the two especially regarding comparisons. Powering a HD650 which would you prefer? Lehmann Rhinelander (£360) or Graham Slee Solo Intro (£350)??

Some good EU options: Ergo Amp1 £275 Graham Slee novo £250 Graham Slee solo £325 with switching psu. Lehmann Rhinelander £400 Creek OBH21SE £250. Meier Audio Cantate.2 410EUR Rudistor NX-03: 600EUR Some good Non EU options: Audio-gd amps Darkvoice Figaro Kicas purity audio. VHP2...

yeah, so why cant the swing power HD650??? What would you guys go for - corda swing or Graham Slee Solo for HD650??? I am tempted to say sod it and just get the Asus xonar STX2 though

Agreed about the F30 It is the only thing i use as a backup to 5DMkI....another legend. Ck100 sounds too sexy not to give it a try. :'(

quick question - how come these weren't recommended for orchestral music?

thanks for the post tygger. Yes, I find disdain in using the phrase 'classical music', but it gets the point across!! I might actually give them a quick try. Now i just have to decide whether CK100 is better than UM3x. One thing i have loved about my westone UM2 is the accuracy of their...
