bpribadi 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 (edited) Wow... tube should be good for the bright sounding Grado Wonder if I can try my RS-1 with the Cayin Note: Sorry typo, I meant Grado not Senn Edited October 19, 2004 by bpribadi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wil 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 Senn? hm... its not bright ( if u r refering to the SR-125s and Cayin...) How should i put it, as in it sounds right (eg hits the right highs and lows , with not a hint of brightness imho ) YMMV though... ( i would love to test the RS-1 on the Cayin...hahaha!)

Mackie 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 On top of that, U can tweak the sound of your cans by adjusting the impedance control at the back of the Cayin amp. It doesn't need to match with the impedance of the cans connected. Quite useful for bright sounding cans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtfoo 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2004 Me also a user of Grado SR125. When I first gotten it I really didn't like it at all. Though it was fast paced which should suits me, but the bass detail are totally lost. I also had the Byer DT880 then and so the difference was obvios. Believe or not, I even prefer my Sony Eggos over the SR125. I was using the meta42 then. Things began to change when I had my PPA. Especially with the bass boost circuit on it. The SR-125 much better. Depending on my mood, I would alternate between the DT880 and the SR125. Another change took place when I finally built my Zen headphone amp. Now I only listen to the Zen amp with my Grado SR-125, it's my favorite rock music combo. Very fast and exciting.. I haven't touched my DT880 for some time now.

Is your PPA using OPA627 with HA3-5002 buffers? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
