New Head-Fier
Yeah! I have the speaker version, the APPJ PA0901A, or Miniwatt, which I always mention to avoid confusion because the Miniwatt threads died out a while ago whereas this thread is still going strong, despite having to be given the kiss of life a while back... and it was touch and go! APPJ's continue to be made and you have the latest upgrade with the gain switch so this is the place to come for information about it. I enjoy reading about members experiences, which are mostly positive.
…...no neither are your brain and eyeballs!
Yes, no beating headphones for accurate reproduction compared even with the most expensive speakers, no room acoustics to consider at all, just the shape of your ears!
Some headphones are capable of real bass heft, even sub bass, and bass drum reverberation but mostly its a question of accurate definition.
Don't we all!
Keep us posted on your observations, I am interested in those Gold Lions.
With NOS you should get better all round SQ frankly, soundstage etc. should all go up a level there are plenty of recommendations going back a few pages or so, or you can ask of course.
The Genalex tubes are in, and they sound great so far - although I’m hearing them develop as they burn in. Spinning OK Computer right now and it’s another great test album, with songs that are all over the map sonically. It seems like the 12AX7 is doing a better job processing multi-channel and cross fades better than the stock tube, and while everything started off a little harsher at first the tubes are definitely mellowing and sounding nice. There was almost a little bit of a vibrato effect on some of the guitar riffs at first, but that’s gone away at this point.
