I’m just shocked that that man could elaborate and pinpoint EVERYTHING my systems sound accurately as a matter of fact even he was just back to US from HK and Japan with severe jet lag which I think is largely due to his ownership and empirical experience of many top of line flagship high end steamers, DACs, and amps. Plus this system must be better than Aperio in that it costs me more money, research, energy and etc. I’m buidling it to compete with HE-1.
Good question, 845 and T2 are the best which are extremely similar in many many many ways, making me question the need to keep both. With the right source such as Aurender N20/N30, Playback designs, Mola Mola, the 845 could drive dynamic cans and planners in an electrostatic fashion with more body and weight but less resolution than the T2.Thank you for your video.
I noticed that you have the VIVA EGOISTA 845. For my part, it is an incredible amplifier. What do you think of it?
I sold my VIVA EGOISTA 845 to buy an electrostatic amplifier for the upcoming arrival of my Stax X9000. I have a hesitation between the VIVA EGOISTA STX and one of the three: BHSE, Carbon CC or the T2.
Do you have an opinion on the subject knowing that you have an equivalent VIVA EGOISTA 845 for the dynamic headphones and T2 for electrostatic headphones ?
Thank you for sharing! Curious what cans do you use. To my ears, 845 is very very musical but again it could be subjective.I have played a lot with 845 and 2A3 amps and i prefer Egoista 2A3 over 845 it's more musical. If you like a 845 amp shine you need old united electronics 845 tubes, even old RCA 845 tubes doesn't come close. New 845 tubes are garbage how to make an amp sound good with those. Egoista 845 has huge sound but it's not musical.
I found HD800s a tad too dark and too warm with 845 even with Siltech silver cable lol I never liked Hd800 as being too sharp and piercing but somehow perfect with 845 due to how musical the 845 is.I have never compared dynamic and electrostatic amps, two topics wich i strictly keep separated.
you buy an amp particularly for X9K or 009 +1My personal experience is that it is easier with dynamic amps to make a combo sound good, electrostatic amps are almost individual matches, you buy an amp particularly for X9K or 009. It's rare that you have a good match with two different phone models. When you buy for instance X9K you have to find and test many amps wich suits your taste. I was struggling with X9K and found lastly a DIY amp wich make a happy combo to my ears. Somebody said earlier that X9K isn't as liquid as Omega maybe but try different amps, i can say definitely that X9K is almost more liquid that Omega. I had to switch tons of tubes to my DIY amp before the sound went liquid and musical.
I ended up to use old GEC KT-66 tubes all other tubes sounded like garbage. I know this hobby is hair splitting.
