Poke around these two sites and you will find many AT phone curves as well as many others; i.e., R10, L3000,etc. but you will have to look. http://www.geocities.jp/ryumatsuba/ http://www.geocities.jp/mister_terch/

The only way to do this is to build a headphone system with a sub-woofer in the floor to get that resonance effect. Some with the K1000 have done just this thing, well maybe not in the floor.

The last Atlantis Reference Rosewood unit I could find. Great for the easy chair setup. I can picture my Yamamoto HA-02 and Berning micro-ZOTL on it right now. Squeezebox on top, neat.

I just picked up a replacement Yamamoto HA-02 for my Berning micro-ZOTL at my easy chair. For the price of the second HA-02 it was just too good for me not to go for it. I know I am crazy but that is the way of things. If anyone is interested in a Berning micro-ZOTL let me know. I have a few extra tubes that I can shipped with them. I will be putting it up for sale something soon. The Berning is the one SK138 had at the Washington area meet back in July.

Or cheaper without remote, usb and used for 20 hours for 699$ or OBO on AudiogoN here: http://buy.audiogon.com/cgia/cls.pl?dgtlconv&1203214421

My guess is that you can dial in how much even harmonic distortion you want to hear.

I went from the AT-HA5000 amplifer and ATH-W5000 to the Yamamoto HA-02 and Ultrasone Edition 9. Just this past week I added a set of RCA Virtual Dynamic Nite cables with the Cardas Rhodium XLR-RCA adapters. I also have added a Berning micro-ZOTL unit and Beresford TS7510 and Squeezebox for a second setup. Here is am using the ESW9. For portable I got myself a iMod and Xin Reference (beta) feeding either the ATH-ANC7 or my AT-ESW7. Next I might sell the micro-ZOTL and get a second Yamamoto HA-02. I also might look toward getting some additional higher end cables.

My daughter got me this picture: From here: http://jasinski.deviantart.com/store/?itemids=-1&offset=0 This guy has a lot of headphone pictures.

Happy birthday!

Agree, it is sure interesting how many ways people are so sick. My wife watches a lot of the criminal investigation shows and every once in a while I ask her has she learn enough yet?

Thanks but I already have the Cardas Rhodium XLR-RCA ones for my cable and installed. I have been listening all day to my new cables and they have about 10 hours on them. Out of the slip they were smoother than my GrandEnigma cables I was using. After 10 hours even more so. Close up of the cable connections:

You don't band people here you just run them off, right?

Well I got my new cables this morning with the needed XLR-RCA adapters and installed them. At least they are doing no harm. Virtual Dynamics Nite "R" series RCA-RCA Cardas Rhodium XLR-RCA adapters For the price I got them I think they will do fine. All for my Lavry DA10.

What about that Chord dac? Is it going up on Head-Fi as a give-away soon?

When you sell this amp what other amp do you have in mind to replace it?

What specifically have you moved on to that is cheaper?

Lets make that "Virtual Dynamics (VD)" in post number #11. If you don't or can't identify context, the context is in this thread concerning the Virtual Dynamics ICs. That is VIRTUAL DYNAMICS for those from "Rio Linda."

Thanks for the VD impressions and advise.

Will do! Just did and I say what Omega IC thread? Search only returned these posts in this thread.

I have heard some one guy with a Lavry who told me that using the VD Nite cable brings the best out of the Lavry. Based on post number 2 the cable might give the Lavry some "musicality" since it appears to be lacking so much. Yea, I saw that Hirsch like them quite a bit a while ago. Don't know his take today though.

Has anyone any experience with Virtual Dynamics cables other than looking at the price and getting turned off?

I am keeping mine at least for the long term. The thing that I think is does strangely for me is on some tracks it appears to deconstruct the music into layers and layers for no apparent reason. For those I have to stop what I am doing, if I am doing something, and listen to see if something is wrong; finally deciding it is what the headphone is doing to the music. But otherwise, I really enjoy their sound.

The OP was asking about the Lavry. I enjoy mine. I compared it with the 840c and was satisfied with my Lavry. If the OP can purchase the 840c for the same as the Lavry then he should jump on that deal. Don't tell me that I don't hear what I hear. What I hear may be offensive to you guys but you may hear something entirely different and apparently do. You need to get an understanding that people hear things differently and to not be so overly sensitive to having someone else hear something differently than you. There are lots of articles and books discussing how differ people hear things differently. There seems to be a lot of co-dependency going on here even if you appear to distance yourselves from each other by throwing out expletives left and right.

Interesting discussion from Steve Hoffman's forum: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=133328

On another web site (Asylum) the Lavry is consider to be very linear (neutral) but depending on what people are drinking at the time some people can make a straight line out of a curve fairly easily.
