Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 After getting hook into Head-Fi, I am starting to get really interested. To begin with, can anyone recommend a portable and another home amp? It would be good if you can give me directions on where to get them. Thanks. I have a D66SL but looking forward to get an AKG K501 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rameish 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Northern Oak, I have several amps for you to try - as well as headphones. The whole corda line of course because I am the Singapore Rep and a Grado RA-1 and Creek OBH 11 SE (revised B-serial number version). I also have an Airhead which a friend has.

elmo 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Rameish You mentioned at your post in Head-Fi that you are in talk with beyer distributor, any outcome? It would be good to the community if we can have a no oblgation trial with Corda head amp without the need of going down to the retail shops and suffering from "see-me-no-up" and "care-less" attitudes.

Northern Oak 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Sorry N@Z, but I find the D66SL too good to let go for the time being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rameish, thanks for offerring me a chance to try the amps but I would have to see if I have anytime. I do find that the price the Porta Corda to be a bit steep ...

gryphon1972 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2003 Northern Oak I thought N@Z has some great portable amps for sale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2003 Yes indeedy thanks for the plug gryphon1972 but unfortunately he won't be able to audition it since I'm all the way on the 'Savage' Island of Borneo. I can't say whether the CHA47 or Total Airhead will be what he/she is looking for in terms of sound. I've only heard it on Senn HD600, Grado RS-1, Etys ER-4S, Grado SR-80, Koss KSC-35 & Senn MX-400. The CHA47 will work fine on both portable or home use but the TAH can't be used on a high output source as I noticed the amp clips even at low volumes. Can be cured by using attenuators on the interconnects though. Original plan was to bring all the portable amps to Spore for a future head-fi meet & might even sell it off to interested partied but things change, I need the money sooner than expected.

gryphon1972 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2003 (edited) I have not tried the TAH but I would say that the CHA47 is an amp that is smooth sounding.....helps to reduce some listening fatigue.....not to say that it lacks detail though...... Northern Oak......if you are interested....can arrange a audition with my CHA47 Edited February 20, 2003 by gryphon1972 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
