The times have changed.

don't get me wrong. i'm keeping my T2 for now hah. the Abyss is great, there are probably a few things the Stax still does better for me, but the Abyss just sounds the best overall, probably all that Kevin Gilmore Power!, all my higher end amps i have are his designs.

Ha. Keep the T2 for a time. Then switch over to Martin Logans. Then ask Kerry to build you an Uberamp. Stats will live on.

Have you run susvara off a speaker amp ?

tested sooooo many headphone amps. but a high quality (not more expensive!) speaker amp was ALWAYS better.

ps: talkin about the 1266, not the susvara

Yup seems they both scale with speaker amps but lots of owners don't run them. I wonder if susvara scales even more due to its insanely low sensitivity.

i have not. i have a cfa3 that does 16w into 50ohms and a susy dynahi that probably does the same or more. have you heard any of kevin gilmore based amps?

 

[jlbrach]

as I have introduced on the susvara area the ragnarok 2 has tons of power and is a speaker amp

Can anyone point me in the direction of a well-made short adapter to allow me to use my existing cables (mini-XLR) with the 1266 TC's 3 pin config? I use Norne Silvergarde S3-C cables

 

[JLoud]

I bought adapters from Trevor and Norne. He will mach them to your existing cables, or make them out of silver as the most transparent.

AffinityCable (Sean) from Singapore. Check out the store on Ebay. Sean is one of the few measuring impedance and other parameters, his products are great.
