    QUAD ERA-1 Thread

    I wanted to share with you all that the LTA MZ2 amp breathed some no life in my Quad ERA-1s! It’s a really good pairing which is capable of producing holographic imaging on tracks where the spatial information is there. I’d been using my Quads with some budget solid state desktop amps and...

I therefore thought I’d share my listening impressions of it, in case others find them helpful. I set up a level matched rig using same source, dual output into 2 DACs, each going into...

    Oppo PM-3 : The Portable Planar - Impressions

    If you’re interested in a closed back set of cans that doesn’t pressurize at all, the Fostex TH/TR series and it’s Denon and EMU siblings are often called “semi open” because they let substantially more air move back and forth than a well sealed closed back line the PM3. And they manage to do...
