Whoops! Guess I misread it "(In search of space, LP)" I took LP for being just that, a Long Play - vinyl. lol. Sorry for the confusion.

No need to be sorry, it's my fault

Though I don't have a vinyl source, I'd love to have one - I just love the look of Michell Gyro SE (http://www.michell-engineering.co.uk...ell_gyrose.jpg)

Oh... we had one of those that came through our shop on consignment. Did not last long...

Another look

It's beautiful

Not surprising that it didn't last long.. BTW what that yellowish LP might be?

That's The Cranberries : "To The Faithful Departed". I have several colored vinyl LPs and some picture discs. They make for a little something "different" when I'm taking photos for posting ads.

Here is the same system but with an Oracle Turntable. The picture disc on this 'table is Spinal Tap's "Break Like The Wind".

For the rest of you on this thread, sorry I've gone off topic... LOL... but I like this stuff

The Cranberries - great album and it also looks good

And your setups look great too.

To avoid complete OT, Loreena McKennit (An Ancient Muse) sounds great through CanAmp - comparing to Sugden Headmaster - her voice is crystal-clear and instruments are also very well separated, there is a great deal of details (but it doesn't sound analytical), while CanAmp is definitely less airy, meaning that all this space that K701 are famous for is filled with music, as if it was more "solid"..

Cos it seems that the Heed Canamp is an amp that matches most of the headphone brands...Fellow headfiers, may I confirm from you. Thank you.

1-4 none of them except for soundstage all of them

. K701 I would go for but I like it more on the Slee Solo like my other headphones.

As for 5. Ultrasone Proline 750 was great with it. Even though I sometimes missed the punchy fast bass from my Pimeta. But I learned to like the Canamp more after getting used to it... Again soundstaging.

Ad 2. I've listened to G1000 through CanAmp and apart from highs (esp. with female vocals) and unrealistically large space, I liked this combo very much (bass was fenomenal). I don't know these Grados well, so cannot say if the problem with highs was caused by CanAmp or this is how high frequencies are presented by Grados.
Ad 3. It sounds fabulous with K701. I'm listening to "The boatman's call" right now and Nick Cave's voice has this absolutely unreal velvet-like smoothness and sounds really dark, just as it should

Funny thing.. In general I don't believe in burning-in of equipment (maybe there are some changes, but are not substantial), but yesterday for some unknown reason my Canamp sounded much worse than for the first two-three days.. Today morning, before going to work I've turned on The Rush (Moving pictures) that I bought yesterday (just to listen to the first track (which is really brilliant) and... was late to work

After returning from work I've already listened to The Rush, Equinoxe by JMJ, Pre-Millenium Tension by Tricky and now I'm listening to Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Center of the Earth (fantastic album).. everything sounds fantastic again

I bought my Canamp to be used with K701s, but I actually like my new Denon D2000s better with it - maybe more about me liking the fuller sound than synergy

The K701/Canamp combo does offer a very nice soundstage and a clear sound, but still I think the K701s are lacking in the bass-department. A 'lil bit of EQ does wonders, though. I wonder why so few are using (or speak about) EQ to tame the unwanted frequencies... Why is that?

there is always something to running with what you like. That's what's most important.
Glad to hear you like the amp.


Happy listening!

Dan

 

[sikki-six]

Thanks.

I first had doubts about my hearing, because both the Canamp and the Denons are usually concidered "bass-heavy" (slight EQ did wonders) - as time went by, I got used the great sound this duo offers, I guess I'm happy. At least for a while

Have you ever listened to your canamp with the Grado 325is?
