I sure wish that you spend a little more time listening to the system, but then again 15 mins of a private audition is really all you need any way. You mean, you can tell a mongrel from a purebred in 15 minutes...? I thought they were all mongrels.... 1
randerson3024 Posted November 25, 2015 Report Posted November 25, 2015 The fucking price is retarded! And what's worse, I'm actually figuring out a way to buy a set anyway. Motherfuckers! 1

Was the Amp fully warmed up? It looks like the internal DAC was used with the cable going into the USB slot, what software was used as the player, and what tracks were used? Looks like Tyll admits the demo is almost useless and he needs more time. He needs to have HIS choice of tracks and at least an hour IMO to get a handle on the SQ. Also I find my 009s need a decent amount of volume to come on song as well, so if the usual volume control and track restrictions are applied by Senn again, that would affect the demo as well. It would be interesting to know if the boundaries of Stat tech has been pushed further albeit with no budget constraints.
complin Posted November 27, 2015 Report Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) Sennheiser say their target markets are First division footballers, Oil Sheikhs and Drug dealers Wonder if they might have some B stock models for sale, slight chip to the marble Edited November 27, 2015 by complin
Hopstretch Posted November 28, 2015 Report Posted November 28, 2015 Not taking this one for the team. Carrera > Carrara. 8
DefQon Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 I wonder when these will be released, wouldn't mind seeing if an Australian distributor will get a hold of one so I can listen to them.
wink Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Get in touch with A2A and see if George will do us antipodeans a favour....
shaizada Posted January 19, 2016 Report Posted January 19, 2016 If anyone of you SoCal crew want to hear the new Orpheus, come to the January 31st LAOC Audio Society meet at the Source AV. They will be making an appearance there. I'll be there as well. http://www.laocas.com/calendar.html

Icarium Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 damn retractable tubes? is that the final frontier in audiophile tweaks? adds +500 to the microdyamix?
Dusty Chalk Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 The audiophile tweak would be to defeat the moving parts, neh? That's just showing off/flagrant consumerism.
spritzer Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 This does play into the EU regs for using tubes as they must be fully enclosed. Well than there is the wank factor which this product is full of. 1
johnwmclean Posted March 10, 2016 Report Posted March 10, 2016 $50,000 wank. Gotta come with warm hands for that price. 2

Well than there is the wank factor which this product is full of. I don't know in detail how EU regs look like (especially if they apply to products currently sold, or retroactively), but there are tube amps in stores without fully enclosed tubes. Would be interesting to know since when is EU directive or reg is effective. There could still be some advantage to that EU reg ... Edited March 11, 2016 by sejsel Picture 2 showing only as a link, which is a bit dull. Sorry, am a newbie
spritzer Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 The amps can't get CE certification with exposed tubes. No way around that so most have an "optional" tube cover which nobody buys. That amp looks like something from ETF so hardly commercial.
sejsel Posted March 11, 2016 Report Posted March 11, 2016 It is LM 41.2 indeed ... odd staff... This is still being sold in EU, at least in one store that I am aware of (never visited it) : http://www.röcklinger.se/hpa1.html
