March 16, 200620 yr comment_3361 Okay, I'm sure you've seen me asking questions on these setups recently, and I know these systems have little in common, but based I want I already have and some money I should have shortly I could have one of these setups. Soooo which would you choose? Report
March 16, 200620 yr comment_3362 Get the Lavry its a nice sounding and pretty versatile piece of gear. Report
March 16, 200620 yr comment_3364 I picked option 2 because I don't really like the Senns all that much... but option 1 is great as well if that is your thing. Report
March 16, 200620 yr comment_3365 Option 2 wouldn't be bad except the TubeDac isn't very good at all. Total lack of detail and low-end extension. Report
March 16, 200620 yr Author comment_3367 Hmmm it may be tuberolling, but that hasn't been my experience with the TubeDAC+ (& 3XAC PS) at all. Haven't done a low end measurement, but to these ears there's no problem on that end. Report
March 16, 200620 yr comment_3371 I say save your money... because money's always good. I seem to be in the minority though. Report
March 16, 200620 yr comment_3373 I say save your money... because money's always good. I seem to be in the minority though. but money is worthless if you dont plan on spending it Report
March 16, 200620 yr comment_3377 but money is worthless if you dont plan on spending it ya... I was thinking he could save it and get something more expensive in the future. Report
March 17, 200620 yr Author comment_3438 Why do you say that edisonwu? Do you feel the balanced XLRs don't match a decent $500 amp? Curious because although I've heard the headphone out, I haven't straight XLR out. So far the best $500 amp I've heard is the RudiStor NX-01, though I don't know how it compares to the Lavry balanced. Report
March 17, 200620 yr comment_3439 a little own opinion, The headphone out is very good for 650. I just meant that 650 could go much further than that by external driving, compared with low-z headphone such as A900 or AD2000 (the headphone out is EXCELLENT paired either A900 or AD2000). If you need an all-in-one solution and you can get away from SENNHEISER (I cant, I am a senn guy), buy the one which you would get more than "good" or something like that from the internal driving.

March 17, 200620 yr comment_3445 oh, yeah, I haven't try balanced XLRs, so I cant tell how good it is for 650. Report
March 17, 200620 yr comment_3457 I'm not a Sennheiser man, but I would think it would be an excellent match. The Headphone out doesn't sound all that great with high impedance headphones... better for Grado's and the like. The XLR outputs are another story. Report
