Looks great. How does it sound, comparing to your other amps?

I now experience listener fatigue with the dynamics in a way I never did before when I listened to dynamic headphones on a regular basis. We're talking headaches and irritation, both mental and physical, after long listening sessions. Has anyone else noticed this? Have the O2 ruined me for "regular" headphones? Is there that big a difference between stat and dynamic sound? |

If I remember my old Jecklins, their enclosures extended beyond the drivers (which were only about 4 by 4 inches?) by a few inches, thus acting as a baffle to stop some of the backwave. I think there was also some added foam on the inside which would block the wave. Finally, their drivers are pretty close to the ear which probably blocks some of the backwave from getting in front of the driver |

But the Jecklin drivers held K1000 style in front of the ears, fair little better than the SR-202 drivers, despite their nearly 3x bias voltage and surface area. Then again, they're also held back by insufficient power throughput from the transformers. The enclosure, or helmet, has a few millimeters around the sides, and the same front and back. The grille and foam pads (outside, the inside just had a few tiny neoprene tabs to hold the driver in place which was crazy insufficient) will I suppose have some kind of baffle effect but just how much of one I wouldn't want to bet on. What Id really want to do, if I got my hands on another set, would be to put the drivers into a new housing. One with earpads than seal and had a good tight grip on them. You could do something Sigma-esque with them, but it'd end up very large and clumsy. |
