Then the A8 is connected to the sound system and puts out tones from each of the speakers it is coping including the sub base. The mini mics in your ears picks up on where the...- sillysally

Yes the chart shows 274A with adapter and WE 274A with no adapter. If you look at the picture below of a WE274A, at the very least it needs a adapter. However if memory servers, its more than just needing a adapter. Its been a long time when I looked into the WE274A, so I can't recall...- sillysally

I bought two pairs of the nos CTL TSRP 6SN7GT many years ago. They were made for the US Navy back in 1942. Very good soundstage, great Hi, low/base and mid tones. These TSRP's really help the EML 5U4G. with adding a larger soundstage and a nice crisp base. I have the nos WE 300B and one...- sillysally

Matched Pair nos WE 300B (date code 1956/26 week), Matched Pair nos TSRP 6SN7GT (August 1942), new Matched Pair EML 5U4G. However the WE 300B original and TSRP 6SN7 from the above vintage is very hard...- sillysally

Long awaited Smyth SVS Realiser NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
Outdoors will not work, no walls. No IEM will not work for HPEQ 1. Not That I know of. I went out to LA to make mine. 2. Adding a amp will improve the SQ. Because I use HDMI out from my Oppo to the Realiser and then out via Toslink out to my W4S Dac, I keep the signal digital. From my...- sillysally

A little different perspective. As for pairing the SR-009's with a (lowly cost wise) SRM-727. I know that the SRM-727 takes all the fun out of tube rolling and building a amp that will dim the lights in your house. That aside this combo is truly a end of the line combo, at least for me. ...- sillysally

Long awaited Smyth SVS Realiser NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE
Quote: The Oppo 105 has two HDMI outputs, and I think the 103 also has two HDMI outputs also. So imo you are better off using the main HDMI output for video only (connect to display) and the sub HDMI for audio (turn off secondary ch) LPCM (connect to Realiser) HDMI input.. I bypass the...- sillysally

imo there is no getting around the fact that using the XLR outputs for 2ch stereo with HQ Flac or comparable, direct from the XLR outputs of the BDP-95 to a balanced Stax amp or other HQ amp for the SR-009 stax headphones. imo this is the best way to go. I am thinking about getting a...- sillysally
