The GRADO SR-60 Impressions Thread
Unfortunately SR60e is unsearchable in this thread - every post is provided in results. Regardless, what are the impressions of the new e vs i or original?- macm75

The GRADO SR-60 Impressions Thread
The SR60 obviously has been thru a at least a few versions. Original, i, and now e. Looking at the original specifically, I see the oldest rev had no "bubble" protruding on the circular fixture that is basically used as the interface piece between headband/rod and driver cups. There seemed to...- macm75

I plugged in my 600ohmers into my macbook (apple lossless tunes) for the first time. It sounds better than I thought but not nearly as effortless and involving as my "electric ave". Harder and sterile sounding - my ears are feeling uncomfortable only after a few minutes where I can listen in...- macm75

Making own tube amp from scratch?
I built that one years ago. Good friend of mine built another at the same time. I'm sure others had great success but It turned me off to OTL. It sounded really good when I luckily acquired a very rare Telefunkin 6080 but it did not have a lotta life in it and I eventually had some issues...- macm75

Making own tube amp from scratch?
I think the topic concerns scratch from a pre-defined design.- macm75

Making own tube amp from scratch?
Something to entertain is to go kit on first go. It's pretty much guarenteed success. Scratch has more potential of less desireable sound particularly on first effort. The last thing I'd want to do is dissuade someone from building from scratch - but it can be frustrating and patience is a...- macm75

VSONIC VC02 Thread
Does anyone know of a replacement cable for the VC02. I've had mine for over 2 years and the cable now has an intermittent loss of continuity. A little twist cures it but it's a nuisance. Thanks.- macm75

Every part in these headphone amps makes a difference. They are so simple, so few parts, that every part comes into play - some changes are so minor and some dramatic. The power supply makes a huge difference too. If you build and tweak you realize these things.- macm75

Build something that you can be proud of. Bottlehead Crack or ECP Torpedo. And after that build something from scratch for the deepest fun and satisfaction.- macm75

You struck a chord... Outside of DT880, I have only one headphone that I really wish to hear specifically with my amp. Not craving in any way but looking forward to time with the HD600 at some point. 300ohm would work quite nice and they are obviously loved by many.- macm75

Quote: Hmmm. At the tail end of my headphone swapping mania, before I found deep satisfaction with DT880/600 (it's been 3-4 years now), was Stax SR-303. All my amps are "home" built and for the Stax, I built a few versions of Andrea Ciuffoli's Stax amp - reference his 6SL7-6BX7...- macm75
