Bargain indeed. I can imagine your 650 Zu Ag/Cu would be just right w/ the HR-2. And probably just the ticket for those 650's in many applications. Argh...makes me wish I'd looked into those. But then again, if we do get our preferred
tube headphone w/ pre-amp, like the WA2(or?...,) maybe, just maybe, the Silver D.'s w/ 650 will be just right--detailed, resolving, extended, tight, but still warm, involving and
singing. I will now look into the Zu's...oy vey! My friend's going to flip...but probably just for a minute
The cables and phones will all be here by Thurs. I'll burn them in (yes, I believe in that.) Drew knows the plan and expects to receive something back w/in the 30 days. Very handy return policy Drew, of Moon Audio, has.
It would be ideal if my friend can decide on one of the billion tube amps out there so we can do some synergistic matching w/in the 30 days. I don't think he'll want to just stick w/ the HR-2. That's just kind of a serendipitous find. Right now he's got his, well, both eyes set on the WA2. Likely a pretty darn good amp for $1K. Great features; great looks. Something to be proud about owning...in a good way.
But in any case, I still look forward to demonstrating the various combinations of Senns and cables, hopefully w/ 2 amps. I'm expecting it to be verrry educational. A good exercise for my ear-balls. Oh hek...how 'bout some silver/copper to through in the mix? Too bad you don't live in the LA area ! Well, probably not too bad for you
I'll get back to you, if you like, and we'll see what sense I can make of all this.
Thank you. I am enjoying this dialogue.
