Headphone

Gentlemen,

Just aquired Sennheiser 650's and am in the market for driver amps. Lots to choose from, but I've only noticed Headroom and Meier products offering a "cross-feed" feature to blend L/R. Those of you who have their products (or other manufacturers ???), do you prefer utilizing this feature, somewhat, or almost never? Some say they'll never go back to conventional drivers without it.

Thanks in advance,

Frank

Azjake,

Just inquired about the current Grace M901 Audiogon listing (now sold), and the seller stated it did not have the cross-feed feature like the new M902. The M902 is quite impressive, but also very expensive @ $1595. At that price point, Headroom enters the ring with its' heavyweights.

Meier makes some great product, but I wish there was a US importer. Can be a hassle dealing International, and credit card fees negate any advantages. That's not including import duties.

Appreciate both of your responces, and it looks like I'll need to be resourcefull regarding auditioning this feature.

If anyone else knows of other manufacturers with the "cross-feed" option, please contribute.

Gentlemen,

Appreciate all your contribution of opinions regarding "cross-feed". I suppose it's just like anything else, in that one must personally audition this feature (easier said than done), though the mentioned models equipped with this, ARE sellectable. Just so many other fine tube and SS amps without this option.

Anyone with an extra "cross-feed"-equiped amp willing to offer a weekend loaner? (Trustworthy, with clean feedback)

Thanks again,

Frank (Chicago area)
