Linked is a brief article that categorizes the the portable audio player options available Q4 2013 as clearly and succulently as any I have seen. It also includes some portable dac/amp combos for your mobile phone. Of course, DSD is a hot buzzword re...

I asked Guy Hummel to put a headphones jack into my new unit. Guy put the jack, the switch that redirect signal to headphone or to the main output. It is so cool to have a headphone option – I have no idea why I did not ask him to do it before. In ad...

Over the course of the past year I was very slowly experimenting to the sound of my headphone amp. I know much more about it sound then I knew last year and I learned a lot more how to get “different” sound from it. The more amps ages and the more I ...

A site reader sent me last nigh a link to a Yahoo newsgroup where a guy posted at feedback about Accuphase T-1100

I "get" the attraction in selling a few Milqs. But. . . 1. What is the likelihood of the Milqs becoming part of a good entire system? 10%? 5%? less? So what is the point?2. An average "garden variety" professional consultant / law partner bills at $...

Is this type of driver not similar to those used in headphone?. Very high efficiency, wide bandwidth, very low XMAX. The lightest and fastest are probably the orthodynamic type like FOSTEX RP, HiFiMAN or Audeze LCD2....

Hi Paul,SPL out of Germany seems to have some interesting blending functions on their headphone amplifier. Not sure if they have other products that better suit your needs and didn't look to see if they are doing the processing in the digital or anal...

[quote user="zanon"]Does anyone know of CD mixed especially for headphone?Maybe two mics, 6 inches apart, is the correct way to record for such a playback system.[/quote] All of them. Zanon, most of the CD are mastered by electricians in headphones...

Good point on what mixing, and processing, can do to both mono and stereo recordings.Look at the examples of room simulation here:http://www.quantec.com/index.php?id=sound_clips&L=0OK, they are bad electronic recordings to start with, and then pr...

But didn't Romy say up above that he was running it out of the headphone output not the regular back panel outputs? Or did I misunderstand? He specifically complained about the headphones as lacking low end back in the day....

From a technological perspective, these look very interesting. Unfortunately the nearest place i could audition these is Montreal, but it looks to be worth it. Have you heard these, Romy, or are you also impressed with the price/technology ratio?

So this amp would not have to deal with a crossover? One R and one L in the signal path, it looks like a headphone amp, maybe a dream circuit for a light piston, HF only, given no cap/coil load at the [ribbon] driver.What is gain...

Talking about the headphones amplifiers: Sugden HeadMaster.
I do not subscribe audio publication and buy them only if I’m mood to bitch about something. Occasionally I buy the British Hi-Fi+, which is kind of mandatory to buy living in the New Engla...

Hi Guy, HAHAHA! yeah, I can see how you can say its similar to burnishing fecal matter. i still think its overly pleasant slow sound (which is still ok through my headphone setup and denon 103) can be improved upon with major sup...

I need to add another output to my BiDat and I was wondering if there is anything special that I have to do. I really don't want to send it to John for three months just to be able to add another output for headphone amplifier.Thank you....

[quote user="SearcherOfBetterSound"] These are overall the best headphones I've used, having neutrality, details, and natural sound. [/quote]
Nope, they do not have what you call “details”. In fact they are very lay back in the “details” world. Howe...

I'm not sure if you should care but recently - at least within scientific circles - the term binaural has come to mean (more or less) dummy head - including pinnae (outer ears) - which includes interaural time & level differences, head-shape occl...

I was rummaging through a pile of tubes and came across a pair of 8233. Medium size tube, gold pins, PQ. I think it might have been a video output tube for an old Tek scope. So I looked it up on Duncanamps. 10W plate dissipati...

[quote user="kodomo"]I heard the same not just from one but from a few guys for my playback as well! I think it is because of the all encompassing effect and the strength of the stereo image. Most people have never heard that strong of a phantom cent...

Amir,You can try to connect Toslink cable to your MacBook headphone jack, if your model supports this. In my case, it made a huge difference vs the USB interface. And then you can compare it to Toslink output from your CEC. Unfortunately, different s...

Paul, my headphones are electrostats that need a separate driver. I use Blue Hawaii amp with a quad EL34. The preamp has a direct output from the selector switch, which will be connected to the headphone amp....

The answer could be simple .to round it up fast it(sound quality) equals to any PROBLEMATIC FREE playback system. That said being problematic free is not easy for any playback system or what you call high end thats why a cheap headphone may pass the ...

As I promised, I am informing about the fate of the Baby Melquiades project. The Baby Melquiades was armed for few days with new 60H transformer. The result was not positive. It sounded OK but it was not even close to the Melquiades sound. I wa...

This weekend I found some transformers in my storage and I put together the Baby Melquiades headphone amplifier. It turns out to be very cure little amp. It is 9'x9' but has all Milq’s incidents including the choke intuit supply for plates and t...

[quote user="N-set"] I've been "forced" to listen on headphones due to real estate constraints and it seems those constraints will stay for few more years.
At the moment I'm using Stax Omega 2 MkI powered by a solid state amp Stax 717. I've always...

It is frequent, particularly nowadays, that you found a digitally compressed recording that you can not source in no other format then the crappy mp3. So, do yourself a favor: do not make an attempt to play you muscly-wonderful but audio-shitty file ...

I have not found the PPs to completely isolate under many situations although they even out sonics across the day fairly well. The PP is far more steady when hooked into my small tubed bedroom system than the main system, the small TV HT system or th...

Paul - I agree with your comments overall. Indeed Sony had a couple of Walkman tape players with surprisingly good sound quality. At the time I thought they were expensive and delicate. Today I appreciate the amount of engineering and care that Sony ...
