well i was thinking of getting the porta corda all along anyways, since meier has a good price on the senn 580 as well, so i thought i should get them both at the same time....

But now i have this urge to get a new pcdp....so i ditched the whole porta corda and senn580 thing....

Im currently looking at a sony 1000 or 925 cd player, and i'm on JMT's waiting list for a CHA47...

What's wrong with the PC? It's qute an enjoyable little amp, and especially so when you feed it more than 9 volts.

/me actually likes my TA the best when batteries are nearly dead

To clarify..............

I was not slamming the PC, just the fact that the poster was not going to buy a TA based upon one single post that shows up when hundreds of posts say it's nice.

oh well it doesnt matter now...since i cant afford a TA or a PC at all if i get a sony D-EJ1000 pcdp....

I've got that JMT amp coming....AND ITS GOING TO BE INSIDE THE PENGUIN DECAFINATED LIGHTS MINTS TIN!! its a very cool tin....much better than the original black and yellow tin IMO....lol.....im bragging about a mint tin....hehe...

What is the power rating of the TAH?

If the old Panasonic player were to be 15mw x 2, and the TAH were say 10-12mw x 2, then there would be distortion quicker... no?

Modern PCDPs have got such BS opamps that the TAH would be a welcome relief to most people, but someone with an older, more powerful player - would they still reap the benefits?

...That being said, my 9v CHA47 goes DAMNED loud!!

just a thought though??

Actually, the TAH is rated at 21mW x 2 at 30 ohms, OR 10mW x 2 at 100 ohms, OR 4mW x 2 at 300 ohms (RMS, not PMPO or maximum). By contrast, that old Panasonic is rated at 15mW x 2 at 16 ohms (maximum).

Note how the power output really goes down with impedence of headphones. Look at the big impedence spike of the HD600's/580s at 100 hz. And that is were power is NEEDED.
This explains why most amps don't like the HD600.
