Hi,
 
just wanted to let you know guys that I tried my T90 Jubilee on my recent acquisition the Sansui AU-2200 Amp from 1973 (golden era of Sansui).
 
That thing puts out pretty amazing power through the headphone out. I use it mostly with the speaker taps via the HE-Adapter from hifiman to drive my HE-560, LCD2.2f and HD650 balanced.
 
My T90 usually does a great job in the office being driven via the Bottlehead Crack - but the office got noisier so, I am using now mostly the Oppo PM-3 with the hifi iDSD micro. 
 
So home I went with the T90 and connected  it to the Sansui - and wow, I am spoiled by the bh crack with speedball but the Sansui sounds absolutely amazing T90 seem to love that amp. luish and musical, very tube like.
 
Vintage amps can do wonders to hard to drive headphones, this one especially. Am totally excited and hope the Sansui lives on for a long time....
 
Cheers,
K

I didn't notice T90 was that hard to drive when I had it last week. Both my X-Can and my M-Stage gave enogh juice to it.

Some of the older stereo receivers do work very well....I have a Van Alstine Pre-Amp with a headphone out that is absolutely as good as many amps I have had and heard... simply amazing... the best amp lately has been the Crack with Speedball mod and a vintage RCA 6AS7G and a wonderful NOS Sylvania 5963 JAN.
 
Music is just freaking wonderful...

It's pretty sensitive, considering the 250 ohm rating - that's why T stands for Tesla ^_^

Do you think 220 dollars for a used pair (7 months old, still under 2 year warranty) is a good price for T90? I'd like it as a complement to my HE-400i. 
 
EDIT: Actually I have a chance to buy HE-400i (new, already bought it), Fidelio X2 (new) and T90 (used) from the same dealer for $1050 (£675, €965). I really like these three headphones. They have their own place in the spectrum.

Wow, 220$ is very good money for T90. I definitely get it with this price if headphone's condition is not bad.

 

[iwing88]

ya 220 is very good deal for T90.

The headphone is barely used and looks like the new ones. I believe that I need to run it through the break-in period.

Haven't you bought them yet??

No, but I am going to 

 

[iwing88]

you will not regret it.

Anyone of you guys with T90 using them with Lake People G103 or G109 or Beyer A20? Would like to know you opinion with this pairings.

 

[bracko]

  you will not regret it.

I know 

 I auditioned them for a long while last week against T1 and HE-400i. Dare I say that they sound better than T1? I know that T1 are more expensive and that what I am saying is heresy but still.

 

 

[iwing88]

definitely T1 over 400i. sound much better then 400i.

Any Objective 2 Amplifier owners?  It seems like a great choice in the sub 300$ CAD range, but I can't try it out.
