Hello! I currently have a Saffire 24DSP with an SPL Auditor, it is connected via the Auditor's XLR inputs to the Saffire TRS outputs. I'm about to purchase a balanced DNA Sonett. the thing is, it only has rca inputs. Would it be possible to connect the Auditor to the saffire using XLR...

I am new to the club but have been reading all the reviews in regards to different amplifiers for quite a few months. Finally, shortlisted the two -  Phonitor or V200. Seeking help and advice on which way to go. I would appreciate any help in making this decision. Phonitor is more expensive but...

Okay, I've searched the forums, but nothing on this subject came up. Wikipedia gave me a very complicated, so I decided to ask you guys.   What is sound pressure level? Is it better to have a lower SPL or a higher SPL?

Hi All, I've been a fan of this forum for some time but this is my first post.  I just purhased the Sennheiser HD800 headphones but do not currently own an Amp.  Any recommendations would be great.  I would like to keep the price around $1,000 or under - I can do higher but only if I really...

  Hello, Im waiting on the delivery of my LCD2 and I need a cheap amp to work with while I save for an SPL Phonitor. Please recommend me a cheap amp I can use with this cans while I save up. Also, better if its accesible in EU.     -Thanks

I am deciding to get an amp for my DT990 600ohm. I don't think I want to get a tube amp therefore the two amps that came top of my lists are HA160 and Auditor.   I am wondering if anyone has compared the two, head to head?   Also what does each amp do to the overall tonity if I am going...

  Hello all!   If I'm not mistaken, SPL is based on how many decibels a pair of headphones will output if provided 1mW. Where I get confused is when I read about headphone amps providing 10-20mW (or perhaps 100mW) of output power. So if a given headphone had an SPL rating of 105, why is...

Hi All,   Posting this will probably make me seem a bit idiotic but has to be asked nonetheless.   I just recently started transitioning from my larger room setups down to the Headamp / Headphone level and currently have the following:   Amp's:   Red Wine Isabellina HPA LFP-V...

Is there anyone out there who can tell me more about the SPL Auditor?  I would love to know more about this amp - I heard it today using HD600's and HD 800's - but I would be very happy if someone out there could tell me more about the pros and cons of this amp...

Hi All, So far I am thinking about the amp for T1. I think Tube amp may be the better choice for T1. Can anyone tell me the best amp for T1. I saw many treads,but still don't have any idea for it. P.S the source is DAC1 USB. Many Thanks

Hi guys, I'm very interested in this object An all-analog, all-balanced active monitor controller, (stereo and 2.1 ) ...With two crossfeeded headphone sockets! but... WHAT'S BEHIND THOSE SOCKETS? What will they drive properly? Will they drive anything??? Could any...

Hello I am looking for opinions of users who tested or listened to all of the above or at least 2 of them. I am struggling to choose a great full size amp for my JH 16 pro. which one in your opinion is the most suited. I prefer neutral sound with great sound stage ( this could be difficult with...

If someone has heard it, could you please tell me/us something about how it was?

Hello,   So Im thinking about getting myself a solid state amp that would serve me for a long time and B22 seems to be a good candidate but unless I pay to a builder or do it myself I cant have it.  What kind of commercial alternatives are available?   Thanks for info,

I read that the Goldpoint is similar to the Auditor..

Hi, I am going to München in two weeks time and I'm thinking of buying a SPL Phonitor. Does anyone out there know of stores in München/Munich, Germany that carry this headphone amplifier? I have found JustMusic in Hanauer Str. 91a, but there might be others as well?

I am new to these forums. I am impressed with the knowledge and experience here and need help with a decision. I am planning on buying Sennsheiser HD 800 Headphones. I have had 650's in the past with a Grace 901 with satisfactory results. I cannot decide among the Burson 160, the Meier Audio...

I would like to keep enjoying the headphone for many years. My question is does lower end spectrum (bass) of sound cause more damage or higher end? I'd assume it would be the heavy bass. But I could be wrong. TIA.

From last week or two I have been lucky guy to have this wonderful opportunity to have these great 3 machines in one time on loan. I don't have much time to write things up lately, so take it like it is and be sure, if possible, to try any of them, before purchase, cos they are not cheap, even...

  I've recently started to notice an RF noise at all dB levels which is really annoying.  Has anybody come across issues with RFI with this amp? what did you do to resolve it. Thanks.

I was looking through head fi and i think i saw a black auditor in a advertisment. Have you see it or am i blind? It was nice and i rather have it that the silver.

Does anyone know how these will sound together? I use a PS GCHA at the moment with my PS1000's, will the Auditor sound better instead of the GCHA?  Does the Auditor and Phonitor sound the same as a headphone amp? I will be using my Cambridge Audio 840c  as a source.   Thanks in advance,

Hi again, I've been looking at getting a significant upgrade to my Gilmore Lite. The SPL Phonitor has me in a trance but it's not exactly el cheapo. From what I've been told and read the HeadAmp GS-1 is more of a subtle upgrade to the Gilmore Lite than an outright large improvement. This...

So after falling in love with my UE-11's again this festival season I got to thinking about what other moulds were available and all the usual suspects came up, amongst the normal artist testimonials one other thing was similar - the amount of claims that more drivers = greater headroom before...

I am just about to drop some cash on the auditor once I find a good place to buy it. Any one else out there got one and would like to share some pics, experiences etc... ? My setup: Source: Mac Mini & Mac Book DAC/AMP: Apogee DUET , SPL Auditor (soon) Phones: AKG 702, Senny HD 25...
