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...- RTilbury

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?- RTilbury

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...- RTilbury

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...- RTilbury

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...- RTilbury

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.- RTilbury

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.- RTilbury

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...- RTilbury

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...- RTilbury
