Dusty Chalk Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Dinny, buy one of eachcolor then sell the one here that does not please you. Very logical. After reporting which sounds better. And swapping the knobs and accoutrements, so that they are both grey-black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb233 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Been looking hard at the Aristeus on HF. Also want a KGBHSE. Could I ask for some advice? Will it be a problem in the future to get tubes for the Aristeus? Also, I know that the Aristeus is best for the Senns. But the KGBHSE has to be world class with the Senns also, right? The other consideration is which amp is best with the ESP-950's. It seems that the output bias of the Aristeus is more closely matched to the ESP-950''s. Please don't tell me to fuck off. Thanks in advance for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other consideration is which amp is best with the ESP-950's. It seems that the output bias of the Aristeus is more closely matched to the ESP-950''s. 12AX7's aren't going anywhere. Bias on the Aristeus should be pro and HE90, so that would be 580 and 500. The 950's run at 600v I believe, though some claim they "open up" at 620-630. Running them at Pro bias is fine, though you'll need an adapter. a whole thread on them for your perusal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb233 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 12AX7's aren't going anywhere. I'm not concerned about the 12AX7's. What about the ECL86's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Also still quite common, and relatively cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 The ECL86 stocks are dwindling but they still can be found. Sennheiser have dropped them as replacements for the HEV90 for the PCL86 which require rewiring of the amp boards. "Something" happened in 2005 which made them react like that... The HE90 doesn't really care for amps that are too honest. It is a highly flawed transducer engineered for a certain sound so I'd use the Aristaeus with it.

jimmyb233 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Thanks for your help guys. I think I am going to pass on the Aristeus and hold out for a BHSE. At this point I would rather have something more universal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb233 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 "At this point I would rather have something more universal. " Get a Starving Student or Cmoy. Thanks for the recommendation. Can you compare and contrast the sonic attributes of those with the SR-009? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks for the recommendation. Can you compare and contrast the sonic attributes of those with the SR-009? The basic difference would be a mostly almost inaudible volume level when pushing the cmoy into a Stax transformer to drive the SR-009. But I think you should try it.

jimmyb233 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 After some thought, I've decided against the SR-009's. It just makes more sense to go for something with more bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
