@jtnt I would not expect you to be able to compare the the T2 with the Z10e. My question is really around the technical specification and performance parameters as referred to in my previous post. I have cut and pasted the details below: SRM Technical specifications: The SRM-T2 had a maximum...

Thanks that would be great please if you could. Its just that I currently own the original and Legendary Stax T2 amplifier made for the very first Omega headphone and would like to know how the ZOTL campares. I also use David Bernings stereo amplification in my main system and know how good they...

Thankyou @jtnt You also mentioned in your original post that "the tubes run natively at 750V, for a 1500V peak to peak each channel" Are these voltages you have quoted the operating voltages of the tubes? If that is the case could you say more about what the actual output of the electrostatic...

Sill somewhat confused by your reply as we are not asking if the amplifier uses output transformers as those of us who have used David Berning's stereo amplifiers for years are aware they do not use transformers like a traditional valve amplifier. However; from my experience they do still use...

AKG did this with their K340 over four decades ago! I believe they were probably the very first electrostatic/dynamic headphone? http://www.akg.com/pro/p/k340         Quote:

Like all great headphones you wont get an immediate wow factor, you only come to realise what they can do with extended listening. Any audio stuff i've bought in the past that was bought on immediate hifi-wow factor has soon become tiring and has been shown the door fairly soon :)   Quote:

I believe they wont be available for shipping until Mid 2016 - suggest you pm rosmadi-mahmood who is the sennheiser forum rep    Quote:

Yes there is probably more of a market for something like this now than when the original Orpheus was produced. Lots of people in Asia and Middle East with money burning a hole in their pockets, unlike the rest of us :)  I believe they plan to make up to 250 per year probably almost built to...

You have obviously not read the blind testing carried out as part of Tylls' Big Sound 2015 @innerfidelity.com Unless you are really familiar with the sound of a violin, a trained musician and listener then blind testing is as much use as flipping a coin.   Quote:

I dont want to appear rude but to compare the HD650 as comparable to the HE90 is simply laughable, its a whole other ball game. The speed, frequency extension, clarity, headstage etc, etc is far far better that anything else sennheiser has ever produced! In fact I understand from a contact I had...

I think Sennheiser are in competition with Beats in some of the sectors they manufacture in. Beats for some reason have "street cred" and are supposed to be cool and they sell huge amounts of the cheaply made highly coloured stuff. I think this is one of the reasons for them producing the...

I think you are mistaken - most who have lived with the original Orpheus would concur with it being the best available at the time it was introduced and for a very, very long time afterwards. Even after 25 years has elapsed and the availability of new materials and manufacturing processes it can...

Jude said that the 1060 will be available to listen to in London in the near future. Has anyone heard when and where? 

Aha another Jecklin user, very interesting, much uder-rated IMO

If its a 007 MkII you need to make sure you do some small mods to it which improves things like the bass response   It has a generally a slightly warmer overall balance than the 007 but still detailed   Quote:

Pete Millet originally designed the Wheatfield for Headroom when Tyll Hertsens was there. Pete has said that the Teton is basically an updated version of the original The tube compliment is EXACTLY the same as the Wheatfield Audio HA-2 but with several improvements made including a power supply...

Hi Kiertijai Rumor has it that the extra pins are for dual bias connections and some type of protection circuit like that fitted on the Quad ELS speakers. This might indicate that the new amplifier could be a dual mono config and a bit of a beast in terms of output. Hopefully all will be...

Correct: the 009 is still a stellar performer even out of a Stax SRM-XH, its simply a better headphone than the HD800 I have the HD800 and an Apex amplifier too; but even as good as the HD800 is, in many respects its not comparable to the Stax 009. Given its costs almost 3 times as much should...

Actually I think the HD-800 is a great design, very good ergonomics and supremely comfortable, in fact IME one of the most comfortable to use for long listening sessions. The design to me is just a little unconventional, modernistic and different from everything else which makes it immediately...

So what was your opinion of the Float QA, improved bass over the Jecklin? The new Float QA transformer can be used with the PS-II and i'm informed much improves performance. You might be interested in this event?  ...

Ah a fellow Jecklin Float PS-II and Ergo AMT user How do you power your AMT, dedicated Ergo amplifier or speaker amplifier with transformer. I've been trying to improve the bass output of the AMT with different arrangements but find it lacks really deep bass as gets a little distorted with say...

Yes I read his glowing review of the 845 but was looking for other opinions

So eric65 it was a 2a3 based Egoista! Does any one have any impressions of these amps particularly with the HD800?

From personal experience parts of the 009 build are not as good as previous models. Particularly the headband height adjustment which is rather poor plastic.  After it breaking twice I have resorted to superglue!   Quote:
