spritzer Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Good point.... "goes off to draw up plans to build a 39k$ amp and then measure it..." 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wink Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'd like to see that. I would suspect it would have the 5 Meg bias resistorinstalled, and no pixie dust, hens teeth, unicorn tears, snake oil filled capacitors or other exotica such as The Judge power cable from Coconut Audio to obfuscate things...... Right...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wink Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I can't wait for someone to butcher up a new Senn Orpheus so the headphone/earspeaker part could run on this. Gotta be the bestest of the best...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I do predict we will see a normally driven HE1 at some point. I've certainly asked for it.. Ohh and I did request a quote for the HE1 system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should never have told birgir what I was planning on doing to a large chunk of .999 silver and forget about the amplifier, show me any measurement system (audio precision, etc) that can actually measure -170db levels, it does not exist. and an amplifier with 60db of gain has to have at a minimum a specific amount of Johnson noise which is at least 50db above those levels, and that's being kind.

TMoney Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Legal fees are expensive. If there is any substance to those earlier stories then that MSB founder is going to need all the lawyering money can buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 The gain is indeed the real killer here. You can't have super low noise and high gain. Unless you know... magic!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 sure you can. but not at room temperature I have 2 x cryoprobes that run at 25K. 40 to 60db of gain noise figure less than .3db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtoc Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 actually this thing has no vol control, you have to add a highhigh end preamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritzer Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 That's always the best way. Naturally using the line out as we don't need to fancy dac's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wink Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 .... and here I thought the laws of nature could be circumvented with advanced technology - they do it in every episode of Star Trek. Well, as long as there is only one defiance/negation per episode, otherwise it comes out like Flying High. (Leslie Nielson, you scientist)....

astrostar59 Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Anyone hear seen the post at HF about the MSB Electrostatic amp? I think it was in the MSB Select DAC thread. Sounds like the guy who heard it compared to the BHSE found it wanting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSB are a DAC company - however great their DACs might be, they are very unlikely to nail an electrostatic amp on the first try, regardless of how a large a price tag they stick on it. Then again, I think it hardly matters. If you have the cash to throw at a Select II DAC, the headphone amp is pocket change. I bet MSB will sell enough to make them happy. The fact that it might suck compared to the BHSE or KGSSHV Carbon won't bother them one bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
