New Headphone User
Hello all. I use my HD 600's connected to my Earmax pro via a 10ft. pair of Cardass cable. Pure sonic bliss. I find the source is very important as this is a very revealling headphone. My source for the record is a modified/upgraded Anthem CD1. I ... 
Acoustic Energy AE2...opinions?
Hey BmwhausI've owned both. I sold my AE1's MKII for $700US, but there was marks and scratches on them. Undamaged I could have gotten $1000-$1100us easy. The AE1's gave you about 85-90% of the AE1 Signatures, The differences were the Sigs were a l... 
Acoustic Energy AE2...opinions?
I own the Acoustic Energy AE1 Signatures. I've heard the AE2 also. The AE1's image better, with a deeper soundstage, and slightly better seperation between instruments. The AE2 have deeper and better controlled base, with the AE1's slightly flabby... 
Rogue 120
I've tried about a dozen different 12ax7 tubes and 5751 tubes for the input stage and my favorites by far are the Mulllard CV4004 12ax7 tube and the Sylvania 5751 triple mica black plate steel pin. Huge diffence over stock tubes. The M120 becomes ... 
Amazing XRCD I just purchased....
Howdy folks,Where can I purchase XRCD's from?ThanksDudeaudio 
connection to use between anthemavm20 and cd1
Hey BurnsylIf you use the digital out, you will bypass the tupe in the CD1. I love the analogue sound of the tube in the CD1, and experimenting with different tubes will yield different results. I cant comment on how good the dac in the Anthem pre... 
Audio nirvana ends with planar/electrostats?
I also disagree. My Acoustic Energy 1 Signatures seem to match most electrostats in detail and soundstaging, and no electrostat I have ever heard has enough DYNAMICS to sound real to me. A drum kick should hit me in my gut, not gently caress my fa... 
Which DAC?
If you hate the bright and mechanical, then you'll love the Kora Hermes. My HermesII just trounced the Audiomat Tempo dac, and the Audiomat costs $1100 dollars more! Detail, soundstaging, seperation of instruments, depth without shrinking instrume... 
Are KT-88 a good substitute for 6550c?
I've compared Svetlana KT88's and Svetlana 6550c's in my Rogue M120 Magnum amps and preferred the Kt88's easily. My experience between the two types was excactly as Rcprince described above. The Kt88's richer and more analogue sounding, the 6550's... 
P300 Users: where do you place the unit?
Mine sits on the concrete floor.....under my Lovan stand. No room on the Lovan shelves for it to fit. It sits on 1/2 inch MDF cut to size, and this in turn is resting on vibrapods.dudeaudio 
What tube preamp with Bryston 7bst? Please?
HelloCopland CTA 301 MkII is a match made in heaven with Bryston amps. The Copland has blown away every preamp I've tried on Bryston gear. Including ARC LS-15, Conrad Johnson, Blue Circle, Rogue Magnum 99(good piece), Chord, and Bryston preamps. T...
