    Arrived yesterday and it really opens up every electrostatic headphone that I own. I was looking for an amp that can bring more bass out of my HE90 than HEV90 so I drained my pocket to bid on this and

  • I have been getting back at this..working up to a limited run of these as the STAX SR-X9000 and Audeze CRBN have made that need to happen. But the chassis is extraordinarily expensive and difficult to

So, Mike are those your Omegas but Aaron's amp? Is yours going to be similar? Looking good whoever owns it, atm.

Shit, I knew that. Just can't keep up these days. Nice looking cans for sure.

Does anybody have any experience with the KGSS/O2MkII combination?

KGSS with the Mk1 is awesome so the Mk2 should be great as well.

:( Naughty little vixens, they are. But I will forgive them as long as they continue to make sweet love to my ears and respond to my tender embraces.
Yeah, but try as you might, they still sneak out the window at night to do the unspeakable with other 'stats.

how do you think the ortho was born? damn dynamic whore... the 'stat didn't stand a chance until it was too late.

Quick q: If there is a small gap between the driver and the metal baffle, would this basically be bass reflex? I'm trying to understand the bass I'm getting out of the L Sig.

Input or output?

that's precisely the problem. they're not well-marked and it's easy to get confused.

In a way yes but the key to good bass from planars is to employ an infinite baffle (or as close to it as you can with speakers) as backwave cancellation is is the big problem here.

I was just wondering if I possibly didn't stick the driver to the baffle completely tightly, causing a bit of rumble in the low bass. I think I was just hearing things. As to the infinite baffle approach, do you think putting some fiberglass behind the drivers like in the Lambda and Lambda Pro would help?

Infinite baffle = sealing earpads with no ports.

The point of infinite baffle is that the backwave can never interact with the frontwave. In the speaker world, there are people who use a wall of their house as the baffle, with the speaker tightly sealed to a cutout in said wall. Front of the speaker goes into the listening room, back either outside or into some other area of the house.
