Batty Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 I have a Graham Slee Novo headphone amp on loan at the moment, already better than my home made effort.
h2oxide Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Looking good valvelover. I'm patiently awaiting my pair.
Hergest Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 A pair of rather old and tatty Beyer DT 880s that still sound wonderful. Driven by a Leben CS300XS 1
BATMAQN Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 A pair of rather old and tatty Beyer DT 880s that still sound wonderful. Driven by a Leben CS300XS Nice Leben and tatty and old is good I feel tatty and old sometimes.
h2oxide Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 The tattered nature of those DT880s really adds to their character. I like it! Vintage looking amp and headphones
Batty Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 A bit different from my previous pic, but not much.....
valvelover Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 They're well worth it imho. Every single cent. Dave Looking good valvelover. I'm patiently awaiting my pair.
valvelover Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 Doesn't look tatty to me. And the Leben looks gorgeous! Dave A pair of rather old and tatty Beyer DT 880s that still sound wonderful. Driven by a Leben CS300XS
kunalraiker Posted December 1, 2012 Posted December 1, 2012 A pair of rather old and tatty Beyer DT 880s that still sound wonderful. Driven by a Leben CS300XS Interestingly enough I will have the same setup soon!
bebop Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 My headphone rig which I really enjoy. Even my wife loves listening to tunes on it. Setup is iTunes - Audirvana+ - HRT Music Streamer II - Little Dot MkIII - Sennheiser HD650. The HD650 and tube amps are a good pairing. Waiting to try the Graham Slee Solo to compare. 1

I've got a Graham Slee Solo UL for sale and can vouch for their quality. Enjoy!
bebop Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 Violectric amps are such well built amps. Love the look of them. I tried the HD650 with a V100, and it was a resolving and clean amp. I'm waiting to trial the GS Solo via the GS home trial to give me enough time to see how the HD650 perform with a solid state amp.
valvelover Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 That looks a really nice amp. Elegant and simple. How does it sound with the Audeze's? and what cables are you using? Dave
h2oxide Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 The bass is extremely extended whilst maintaining excellent control. Mids are very prominent and engaging, and the cable is Q-audio's Audeze LCD-2 cable.
gavtron Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 current setup - thinking about adding some tubes soon 3

I'm trying the GS Novo with HD414s at the moment, you're going to love it. Oh and sorry for the delay
bebop Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) Hahaha, enjoy the Novo Batty. I've put my name in with Cheekyboy, for the Novo whenever it becomes available. There is no rush, as I'm in no rush to spend on audio atm (although there are way too much temptations). There are some awesome headphone rigs here on SNA. Would love to try some planar magnetic phones one day. Edited December 8, 2012 by bebop
Hergest Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 current setup - thinking about adding some tubes soon A cracking pair of photos 1
gavtron Posted December 8, 2012 Posted December 8, 2012 A cracking pair of photos Thanks Hergest. Burson offer to double the warranty on the amp to 2 years if the buyer sends in a pic of their setup - they put some of them up on their blog for marketing..
migasson Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Okey Dokey... (I upgraded myself to a WA22:) Just gorgeous sound:) Beyerdynamic T90, Woo WA6, Rega P5, Ortofon 2M Bronze, Musical Surroundings Phenomena, II Rega TT PSU.. Denon CD Player... Not being used...) I feared more emphasis on the ticks and pops.. But nope, does not distract at all:) and yes in my humble opinion, vinyl ANY day of the week:)
Gruffnutz Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Thought I'd better post a pic or two of my portable rig given the immense enjoyment it has been giving me over the holidays... Noting exotic; just a 160Gb iPod loaded with losless files, Fiio E11 amplifier and Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro (250 Ohm) cans. I think this is the right price / performance ratio for me and I can't see any upgrades happening for a while. I'm very impressed with the E11. It drives the DT990s with ease, even in low power mode and on the 'low gain' setting. That saidm it does seem to have a bit more 'weight and authority' in high power mode so that's what I'm running (with gain on low and no EQ). It is truly amazing what sort of sound quality an inexpensive portable setup can offer these days. Anyway; back to toe tappin'. ;-) 2
AvidListener Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Bit of a mash together of gear, but this is my headphone setup which caters for vinyl and cd and digital (if I connect my macbook to the burson). Edited January 5, 2013 by AvidListener 1
