Q. You need his permission to take the pictures of the inside???? There's no secret abt the circuit. I would like to take a look at the workmanship - that's all. And of course the parts. Cheers

So your Gilmore is working fine?? No humming problems at all!

Yeah...was prowling around and finally saw the sticky. Should have looked before I jumped. So no headroom amps here. Well I'm a firm believer in auditioning before buying. The X-Cans were a nice budget class amplifier but is not suited to many cans. Will give this Hung a try. So Mackie sells Beyerdynamic cans. Hmm...might audition the DT-880 with the DT-931. Where's his hi-fi shop? Will also give this Raimeish a try. I'll just PM him. Where's his shop? Sorry but I'm new in town. Ablaze, The Stax 4040 were nice but are not full-range headphones. If you like opera, vocals etc. they could be just the ticket. They really lack low end resolution. Double bass doesn't go deep enough and lacks the defination if you know what I mean. But as sure as god made little apples, you'll start to look for excitement elsewhere. What or where is SLS? SLS shopping center? Lengcm, It's the VAT! That's why I sold off most of my stuff in the UK. Now I'm on the look out for good buys but need to audition. Too many times in the past I've bought based on price and paid for it as reality did not meet expectations. I realised that, many hi-fi dealers don't know what they are talking about. The become speachless as soon as I pass them my calling card. Cheers. Any Leeds United fans here? I understand that Singapore is a place full of English league fans.

Some background: Just got posted to Singapore and was surprised to find this forum. I think this is just great. I was once a music student at uni and I think headphones are the way to go as you get real high-fidelity for a modest outlay for under 1000 uk pounds. I used to teach musicology in Germany before as well. I used to be a Sennheiser fan many years ago and discovered that as good as they were (the HD-600) there are much better buys. I used the Sennheier with an X-Cans and the pair was quite good. Then I discovered Stax which I sold just before coming here. Had the 4040. Anyplace that I can look for some nice gear besides the basic stuff like Creek and X-Cans? Eager to try the Beyerdynamic DT-880 and some Grados. Grados are so expensive in the UK. My current CD player is the Roksan Caspian (bedroom) and I have Meridien as well. Also have a Linn LP12 turntable - any vinyl guys here? Is there good place that sell headroom stuff here? Stereophile has got some of these amplifiers well reviewed. I'm looking to try out the crossfeed.
