Try cooking your meat pies longer.

Not exclusively, but I use it with custom built two way monitors w/5" Scan Speak woofers & SB Acoustics ring radiating tweeters. They're moderately efficient, and this amp drives them with ease. I just use my DAC's volume control (volume controlled at the DAC chip), which works very well. Someone mentioned driving Quad stats with the amp, with good results. A tube pre isn't necessary, as the amp's signature is anything but dry. A similar signature to my old PASS F5 (DIY), but I actually prefer the Pioneer. I'd imagine an Adcom GFP-750 pre would be a great match, as you could go passive with a hot enough source.

I remember the amp from HF, back in the day. It still looks just as awe inspiring today!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ari!

I did not know that Playback Designs was started by a co-founder of EMM Labs. That's a pretty good recommendation in it's own right.

^ You know skull, when you couple the rosebud with your signature below, it's doubly funny.

Every thing you mentioned about the HD-800 mirrors my impressions. It is indeed airy and resolving, but oh so clinical.

Mmm, jewel encrusted codpieces!

I would go with the Audi R10.

Even the moose recommends against the salmon, but he is partial to the birch leave salad.

No worries Adrian. Colin just wanted the pants, not what was in them.

Jacob you're a great guy! This can't be easy, but it's refreshing to see people trying all the options before throwing in the towel. My hope is that one day when you and Emily are old and grey, holding hands while strolling through the park, looking back, these trials are only going to be part of what made your union so strong.

Thanks! It doesn't get all that much use, as the M-22/Buffalo 32 is my main system, but it's very convenient at times.

Ooh, I hadn't heard yet. Fantastic! What an evil bitch!

I That usually doesn't happen until after I've had sex with someone. I really like the portability! I can just unplug the power cables, grab the handle and carry to the motor home, a friends house (one I haven't had sex with), a meet, or wherever.

Happy Birthday Shelly!

I had always heard that Corona was a shitty beer, but I had no idea! I had assumed that his Catcoon catching failure stemmed from his skin tight pants restricting his movement.

OK, I'm starting to understand heterosexuality better now! That should come with a warning!

K1000 bitch!

And why does he look perfectly content with it? Meanwhile, Adrian has the look of someone who had his beer pooped in.

HeadAmp and ECP would be my recommendations.

Happy Birthday!

No doubt in my mind that Ali is the greatest boxer ever.
