Posted earlier in the wrong forum...   This is sure not what I expected. I got my AT EWS9s today and have been listening for a while. My old headphones are PX100s with HD414 earpads. I'm afraid I don't like the ATs at all. More bass sure but air wise and tonally I don't think they are close...

Stax told me that my Lambda Signatures were very similar but certainly comparable to the 407s. Whether there's a sound difference between the 407 and 507 is up for debate. You'd have to be in the world where cables make a difference and in my experience that takes a pretty expensive front end...

Quote:   I'm sorry. I'm still unclear. If I turn the preheat off with the power switch pressed on, the light on the preheat still is glowing so it doesn't seem like the amp is off. Is it? I'd like to keep the amp on all the time as I do my other equipment because in my experience, things...

Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't find it:   Could someone explain Pre-Heat on my SRM-T1? Do I just click it for a few minutes before I turn on the power switch or do I leave the power switch on all the time and un-click the preheat when I'm done listening to turn off the...

Quote: I bet they sound incredible. I wanted to get a DA80 for my Quads. Never could find one close by that was in good enough shape. It's a great amplifier!

Quote:   It's somewhere between the regular Atlas and the Magnum. It's a super beefed up power supply and better parts throughout. 

Quote: ESL57s with a Rogue Atlas (KT120s) custom outfitted for the Quads by Mark at Rogue.

Quote: Ok! Thanks.

The Quad are still the best speaker in the world (and I've heard a ton of them) for people who like to listen to performances reproduced within a defined space. The ability of the Quads to recreate the sense of fingers on instruments and voices coming from mouths is remarkable. They also...

I guess that's not what I mean by warming up the sound!   I was thinking of taking it in because I'm worried about the biasing process which when I read it here sounded over my head. Is it easier than it sounds? Maybe I should give it a try.

Wow, you guys are really in the stratosphere. I just broke the bank and got a set of Lambda Signatures with an SRM-T1 both in mint condition. My first non-ipod headphones. I'm really loving the sound especially the spacial aspect. We moved into a smaller place last month and I had to give up my...

Wow. Loving them. Never owned a high end headphone before. Bought these because my speakers are Quads. They are spacially wonderful, low noise, bass is better than I expected, and very comfortable (surprisingly.) Using with a very high end vinyl system. Only complaint would be that they sound a...

Could anyone recommend a tube headphone amp that will also run a pair of efficient speakers? To be used with either Hifiman 500 or Audeze LCD-2. I know the Bottlehead S.E.X. will do it but I'm not sure I have the skill to build one of those.
