I used to own the HP-2 (wish I still did) and used it with the Melos SHA-1, SHA-Gold Reference, and Meier Corda Prehead mk.1.  The Meier and Melos were very close, but after extensive listening between the two, I preferred the Meier.  Most of the midrange magic of the Melos but with better low...

Frank   How has the Taboo turned out with the headphone output?  Would love to hear how the LCD-2s pair with it.   

#220 arrived early this week.

NickDangerous finally got his wish. Bottlehead's about to release a headphone amp kit. It's also an integrated amp. http://www.bottlehead.com/et/adobespc/S.E.X./SEX.htm This just might make me finally jump into DIY.

You might also want to consider the Decware EL34I tube integrated amp. I prefer it to the Cary 300 SEI in many respects, and it is uniquely configurable based on the type of music or your mood. See here. No headphone out, though. However, I'm about to contact Steve Deckert about that. He...

Yeah, I got mine from J&R, too $399.00 shipped.

I recently bought a Decware EL 34I tube integrated amplifier. I want to send it back to Steve Deckert, the designer and manufacturer, to have him add a headpone output. My question--is there anything I need to specifiy to him in order to turn this into a killer headphone amp in addition to the...

For the reasons everyone has posted here, in the unlikely event you'd ever want to get rid of the Twinhead, I'd think the secondary market for a used Twinhead is a lot bigger than for a used Stax system. So, you'd be able to sell your Twinhead a lot easier and get a good price for it. Just...

I've tried the following with my Melos: HD 600 with Equinox and Cardas Grado RS-1 Grado HP-1000. Once you try the HP-1000's, you'll see what all the talk is about. They are great, and IMO, nothing really comes close with the Melos.

Headroom will be sending samples of the following additional Equipment: Max Supreme Cosmic Grado RS-1's Senn HD 600's with Cardas AKG 501's Beyer DT 250-80's Thanks to Mike at Headroom!!

It's almost time for the Dallas Meet. I will try to start emailing or PM'ing directions to those of you have indicated that you can make it. If you haven't heard from me by tomorrow morning, then please feel free to send me an email or PM (I prefer PM) and let me know you'll be coming.

Quote: Originally posted by RVD Something that is really surprising me is how good the Melos/K1000 combo is sounding. It really sounds amazing. Has anybody tried the K1000 with the Melos? I'm curious, how are you connecting your K-1000's to your Melos? Is your extension cable...
