Just wondering if anybody has a pair of high resistance (600 ohm) cans I could borrow for an hour?
Im trying to figure out what is causing distortion on my tube amp, and want to try out high z cans , and see if that
is my problem.

Thanks,
Jim

 
Hey Jim,
 
You can try your ellise amp with my HD800? I think its 300ohm w/ 600ohm swings near 100hz

I've got a Senn HD25-13 that's 600 ohm, but I think q2klepto is closer to you. Also drop a line to Velomane; I think he has an HD600 and he lives just around the corner from you.

Actually, my HD600 are on loan to q2klepto. You can collect them from him if you wish, just keep me in the loop.

Oh yea that works too heh

When I pick up my cable, I could grab them and then get them back to Velo

Sold my Oppo HA1.
Ordered a new dac. Should have it in about 5 weeks.
I'm excited.

Im going 24/192 all the way around.(usb and coax) That's plenty for me. Going two coax with selector switch on back. No aesebu.
Should make a nice pairing with my Elise.
Black faceplate ( no markings), just like the amp.
Black body.

Happy Near Year to you too!

How you liking them THX00s? Thinking on splurging for a new work/office pair. It was the PM3s but now the THX00s seem promising.

I like them for EDM and dance music primarily. They simply excel at those genres, that I sometimes prefer them to my 4 when I'm in the mood.
For other genres like classical and jazz, they're not so good.

Heh, I've been "downsizing" for years... hasn't done much good 

 

[bearFNF]

I like to look at it as "right sizing" you know as much gear as your addiction and wallet can possibly handle..
