Just spent last 6 six hours reading from beginning, (not every word, but did went through every page), really admire the monumental efforts, sort of like the top 250 list of imdb (IMDb Top 250) [but this will be : amps that i wish to audtion them all in my lifetime]. Since I have limited budget, I decided to ordered a sr71a (will be my first commercial headphone amp), and will try to use it to power my 8 years old 580 together with my even older D-e905 PCDP line out, that would be my "hi end rig" , haha. I tried to built a cmoy, and it has issues, so i want to see what a good one sounds like, then I can compare...
several questions:
1) will 71a be re audtioned?
2) where is iQube made? (call me whatever, but it does affect my buying decision, I know I should only be concerned with how it sounds...)
3) 2move base look round, does it "rock" back and forth (i.e. not stable ) on table, for example?
4) does cable really improve 580, and why?
5) is there a thread that discuss the phase and amplitude response of different amps. Usually, amps, headphone, etc only quote the amplitude response. But with the spectral phase response, one should be able to attribute the listening experience to the complete response of the amp/headphone?
[for example, an amp can have +/- 1db throughout the audible spectrum but due to the non-ideal phase response, the time domain response can get messed up, and bass may seem less tight...etc]
Have been reading head-fi for years, but have few experience posting here or anywhere for that matter, so if I am not clear or asking the wrong question, please forgive me.
