    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    Craig surely knows. He said just not to mix them (A vs non-A) and all would be well.

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    i have tried the EY500A from Telefunken in my ZDSE and it changes the sound. A decent amount more body. I didn't have luck matching them though. Not sure if the mismatch is what changes the sound. It should just add some 60 hz distortion. I assume they have to be matched in the 2A3 as well. i...

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    I should have paid more attention. My 650's are loud at 9 o'clock. I'm sure the HE-6 was less than noon. I was sitting on the right side of the amp and would have noticed. It was certainly less than the Abyss which I paid attention too. Not important in any case. They both sounded great.

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    I heard the Abyss this weekend at the Seattle Head-Fi meet. They were just amazing on my EC 2A3x4. The bass was better than the LCD-3. The sound stage is crazy. Much better than the HD-800 IMHO. I was listening to a 20 year old EDM track, which is normally muddy and pretty boring truthfully. It...

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    At this weekend's Seattle meet I got to try some new / different headphones. It sounded great with all of them. No surprise there. I really liked the HE-6. It sounded great to me. The guy with the HE-6 and speaker amp liked it as well. It's only at 9-10 o'clock on the volume knob if memory...

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    My Amperex are harsher. Weird. Anyone tried a 6c45pi?

    The new Eddie Current 2A3x4

    S/N 4 for me. It seems to be taking its time breaking in. I'm on day six but it could still use a little help on transients. They were crazy at first. The Shuguan Nature Sound are pretty nice. Great extension but a little light on mid-bass. Great treble. I currently have a pair of dual mono...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I worked at Microsoft for a while. Every Phd candidate I interviewed with a great résumé couldn't code their way out of a wet paper bag. I knew before they got to my office. It was the same every time. HR was totally worthless with their screening. My wife (still at Microsoft) now goes with a...

    Seattle BottleHead HQ Cracks and Stax Spring Meet 2014

    What did you guys think of the Eddie Current 2a3 amp that they sent up for the meet? It's not mine you won't hurt my feelings. I know Gil wasn't a fan of my tubes (a little u-shaped). AC/DC wasn't working for him. Send some impressions. Everyone is too quiet. Throw them under the bus, I'm sure...

    Amp recommendations for Fostex TH900?

    The HD-800 was very nice with the 2A3. Good bass and mid-bass. It always sounds so hollow to me on other setups. The highs were nice. Still too bright for me. Crazy detail, of course and great sound stage. Best I've heard it. Nearly tolerable ;) Not many impressions yet, but here's the Seattle...

    New Schiit! Ragnarok and Yggdrasil

    The Mjolnir power cord comes with a serious warning on it. Who can't use a power cord? I was at least hoping for some good Schiit humor...

    Seattle BottleHead HQ Cracks and Stax Spring Meet 2014

    Thanks for having us Doc, it was fun as always. Just a couple impressions. I can't say the AKG 812 did anything for me either. It was a tad bright, just not very musical or something. For $399 it would be good. I liked miceblue's Stax setup. I don't know why i didn't try it before. The HiFi man...

    I'll be there as usual. ShortieFish: Can we do donuts in the old man's car? I won't tell.
