    Soundcard OPamp differences?

    Majkel, what makes the LM4562 and AD8599 better than the AD8620? And where is a good place to buy these from?

    Soundcard OPamp differences?

    Well I think I might as well buy the Halo then, since I can upgrade the opamps on it. I really know nothing about the various OPamps out there, is the AD8620BR a good one to use? I realize with this soundcard I must change a total of 4!? Is there a better opamp out there? Where is a good...

    Soundcard OPamp differences?

    I'm not really looking to modify the OPamps, I just want something out of the box that will sound good. Is the AD8620BR a better opamp than the 4580? Is it only of the Halo+ that you can change the OPamps?

    Soundcard OPamp differences?

    I hope somene can help me with this. I currently have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2. And really hate it. My system consists of a Portal Audio Panache, Vienna Acoustic Bach, and Sennheiser HD600. I was about to pull the trigger on the HT Omega Claro Plus+ a few weeks ago, but have been too busy...

    NAIM CD player - MARANTZ vintage amplifier - TANNOY Eyris DC3 speakers

    The Tannoy and Naim setup seems like a great match. But I am not sure about the Marantz... I have not heard their vintage stuff but I was not impressed when looking for a newer int. amp with my Tannoys. As stated Tannoys do not require massive amounts of power, but they do like to have a lot of...

    TANNOY speakers

    I have a pair of Tannoy Fusion 4 speakers and for the price they are really amazing. I have found, and a few others have shared the same view, that the fusion series beats out the B&W 600 line easily. My dad owns the fusions and the older mercury mx2 monitors. They sound great with his vintage...

    Something is wrong with my headphone and cold play ( Speed of sound)

    Yea I listen to the Hell freezes over version all the time and that doesnt seem right to me. The firt instrument (acoustic guitar is coming from the right). As for Coldplay, I find that their first cd, Parachutes, is the only somewhat good recording they have made. Rush and X&Y both are very...

    Portal Panache vs Rega Ear or Creek obh-11

    Well it has been a few days with my new Sennheiser hd650s and Cardas headphone cable... All I can say is that I am amazed. I love the 650s so much better than the 580s that I am finding it hard to listen to my speakers now. The panache can really rock these headphones, listening to Radiohead...

    How you guys get your HD650's

    I bought a pair of HD650s from the first ebay link (sell4mykidz) this past week and he has shipped the phones out with a tracking number. I thought he was very decent to work with, and guranteed that the headphones were brand new and unopened.

    Portal Panache vs Rega Ear or Creek obh-11

    Very interesting. Your response was exactly the thing I was looking for. Thank you very much. It sounds like I have a great headphone amp already and now I can spend my money on music instead.

    Portal Panache vs Rega Ear or Creek obh-11

    Hi all, I currently use a Portal Panache integrated amp to power my sennheiser Hd650s. I really think the panache sounds great, but I have never heard a stand-alone headphone amp before. I am wondering if maybe the rega ear or obh-11 would be an upgrade? From what I have heard the Panache...

    Pro-Ject Head Box MK II

    I would also like to know about this amp. I wonder if it can power a pair of Sennheiser HD650s?

    Do I need a new amp for my new sennheisers?

    Well I mentioned stereophile because they had a review of the panache and remarked about its headphone output. The panache uses a buffer connected directly to the amp's output with no IC chipsets. I also mentioned the Headroom Supreme Headphone Amplifier because it did retail for over 400...
