Clean Yammy @mrtim6 I think the thing I liked the most was the "Bone" colored vinyl, for sure looks like a few cow heads I've seen baking in the sun over the years That Benz is cherry @Skylab

So found a folder with shots of my Amadeus with the original Dynavector on itWhy yes, that was a freshly cleaned slab! Dust bugs are fast critters

 

[mrtim6]

Thanks Podster I’m a big Yamaha fan especially the GT-2000 series, which IMHO are audiophile bargains performance wise.

Here’s a picture both GT-2000 & 2000X

Indeed Gigantic & TremendousThey have made some really nice and solid products over the years

I have a nice new (to me) LP12 to keep me sane in the study. Grados and the AKG 712 Pro sound fine through the Audiolab 8000A, surprisingly.

 

[CJG888]

Why surprisingly? The 8000A was designed at a time when integrated amps had to have decent headphone outputs, and dedicated headphone amps were all but unheard of outside the studio.

 

[Podster]

So true and in the early days most integrated amps piggy backed off the speaker leads which lead to higher impedance numbers, since they came off the speaker leads they would have to place resistors in the path which drove the impedance up. The HD650 could take that but many low impedance cans would not sound very good. Over the years manufacturers have moved to the dedicated headphone amp section and of course a dedicated stand alone is best IMO but everyone has a preference.
