Recommendations for low power SET amps for Avantgarde Duos
Is 3 watts really enough for K1000s, especially on dynamic music?
-
If you had to downgrade your entire rig to $500 ...
Get a Pico and HD650s, both used. It'll probably be over $500 but should be pretty good.

Bands you don't get that everyone else seems to like
Bach: never really "got" it, and not for lack of trying, since I have multiple versions of the violin concertors, cantatas, well-tempered clavier, goldberg variation, and a bunch of others. In fact, I'm with Dusty on this one: give me the bombast and bring on the full symphony orchestra.

House and his Sota
He could be the guy in the vignette that starts off each episode

House and his Sota
LOL, a better idea would be to do a differential on why exactly House's system seems to exhibit a slight upper-midrange spike, and have Foreman, Chase, and Cameron test out various after-market cables and power-cords for the solution, all the while debating the merits/disadvantages of silver-vs-copper, different types of dielectrics, and transformers-vs-OTL.

Why does the mainstream media even bother?
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/25/arts/music/25tomm.html?pagewanted=1&ref=music Every time I read an article in a mainstream media about sound quality, it inevitably gets the whole thing wrong.

Recommend me some Wagner
I know, it's the time-requirement that is daunting for me. I will try to get the Karajan set once I have a lot of free time.

Recommend me some Wagner
I would like to explore some other complete Ring cycles other than the Solti boxset which I have, but the prospects are daunting lol.
-
Recommend me some Wagner
It would take a lot of commitment to listen to the Ring all the way through, since you'd have to listen and then read at the same time, and plus it takes forever, and if you don't have a lot of time, listening to them in short stretches kind of loses the continuity of the whole thing. But if you do have the time, it is very rewarding.

hd595 makes a great low power hd650 alternative
woah dude, what's with the aggression here.

The Headcase Stax thread
Ouch, hurts so much because it's true I feel bad as an American.

Happy Birthday Philodox!
His name is Robert Paulson!

Corda Opera
I would not recommend using the Lavry to drive headphones as a long-term solution out of its balanced outputs, which just does not deliver enough power. And really, balanced isn't everything: my old single-ended Dynahi wiped the floor with the Lavry DA10 driving the HD650s single-ended, and the Lavry was driving the HD650s with the balanced outputs.

I saw this on Facebook, so happy birthday Jason.

New Mapletree HD200
Magic-eye tubes are definitely gimmicky, but just take them out if you don't want to see them

New Mapletree HD200
I've heard the HD150, which is not bad at all with the RS-1s I had at the time. According to Lloyd, the power into 32ohms has been quadrupled from 80mW to 320mW, which should really give better control of Grados.
-
Corda Opera
Yeah, even my AE-2 had more balls driving the HD650s than the Opera, which is quite unacceptable given their price differences.

Corda Opera
I can't believe my old thread has been bumped Meier should've really increased the stock gain in the unit.
