Thanks again guys for your advices!I switched the power supply to 12V and it is much much better now.I think I could live with it,at least it is easier to burn the amp in with a PSU.But I would really like to have the best possible quality without having to invest in a more expensive power supply.I just bought the one I use right now
I only have basic knowlegde about electronics,I can do easy soldering like I did with my headphone- and interconnect- cables,but I never did anything more complicated,but I think I am a quick learner.So Axcelon,if you could tell me where I can find a plan for building this regulator,I would really appreciate that
And what do you think will be the cost for the parts,after purchasing the Stepdance I am quite broke,and although I would like to live by love and good music alone,the month is not over yet and I have to eat
@ hotubei: I already thougth this could be a grounding problem,but what can I do about that.By the way,when I touch the case of the X5 the humming sound is gone.But the X5 and the Stepdance do not touch (though they are connected via the interconnect of course)
@ violetta88: thanks to you as well,but as I said,if there is a chance using my existing equipment I would really like that.But what would be a good choice for a linear regulated PSU
Ah,and only a small,but very important update on sound signature of the Stepdance,the harshness in the mids that I experienced is gone,now I think it is capable of reproducing every part of the frequency spectrum equally fantastic!No it is just as relaxing to listen to the Stepdance as it was in the beginning,but with a refined sound.And like I already said,I think this little gem now shines without having to be polished
It gives you all the details,and it does so with ease.
Since I am posting here,and I don´t want to start a new thread and I think that my question is easy to answer for you:Now that I have an amp that can drive full-size cans,even those with higher impedances,I wanted to ask if any of you can give me advice on wich headphone I would have to look at when I want a warmer sound-signature then the AKG´s.I love them but they are not perfectly suited for reggae and world-music.I would like to have a lusher sound for that.Ah,and not too expensive please,open headphones are my preference,but maybe that could cause a problem?!
