Thanks for your advice @Mort and @bungle

Thanks for the chart @staticV3

Thank you everyone, like you I puzzled over the near field thing if Linn Kans, BBC LS3/5A and modern day KEF LS50 loudspeakers were all acceptable, then why not smallish studio monitors? I don't need it super loud, but ever since owning a 1990's KEF sub I have not been keen on them, but I see...

Hi please excuse the novice question, but I am considering down sizing my floor standing passive hifi speakers to an active stand mounted solution based on Genelec 8341 x2 plus 7350 sub. Using GLM as room correction, it looks like the making of a really well thought out system. It is my...

OK, I have thought about various active speakers and yet I am left with the feeling that they generally don’t do DSP seriously at least not like Genelec GLM. I am thinking along the lines of Genelec 8340 or 8341 or the smaller 8331 with a 7350 sub. Could this be the makings of a satisfying...

I have a bit of a collection: Stax L700 with SRM-006tS energizer Oppo PM-3 Sony WH-1000XM3 for its impressive noise cancellation Sony MDR-7510 Sennheiser HD560s (digital piano practice) Shure SE535 iem Bose OE-1 impulse buy at an airport during a very long wait for my late return flight! I...

Chord Electronics Mojo or Mojo 2, these have onboard rechargeable batteries saving splitter leads and extra battery boxes.

Sennheiser HD560s have arrived, the good is that they easily go loud enough, so there seems to be no issue with the piano feeding them, the cup around the ear is large enough for me! But the clamping force is a bit much for me. Hopefully they will ease off with time, either that or careful...

Sounds entirely possible, I don’t expect the headphone output to be the last word in quality

Good points, I am currently using Sony MDR 7510, which claim to be 24ohm. They work ok, but the ear pads aren’t comfortable on me and the last straw were the bits of leatherette flaking off and dropping in between keys!

Mid range Kawai es920. Your idea of using a headphone amp would certainly take the headphone impeadance our of the equation

Good point, a load of nonsense from me I guess! What I can say, my experience is that musical instruments seem to have an ability to cause my headphones to sound distorted. Perhaps the sound is uncompressed?

I believe they do an 80ohm version too, but anything from 32 to 120 ohms

Hi I’m looking for low impeadance over ear headphones with velour ear pads and a big cup. It’s mostly about comfort for use with a digital piano. I see that Beyerdynamic 990’s seem to hit most of my requirements including a coiled lead, but they don’t seem to measure especially well. I have had...

So it does, my bad on my speed skim through!

I wonder whose amps they are using in this unit? With so many competent solutions available I guess it comes down to money?

I have been running V3 mono amps for several months I swapped back to my old class A/B amp and heard a difference for the better, because of my better knowledge I find this very annoying!

I don’t think this will affect most audiophiles beliefs, theywant to hear a difference too badly. When you think about it, operational amplifiers were designed to do analogue computations, if they did anything wildly different they wouldn’t be much good as op amps!

For 'Do it all' you could consider the RME ADI-2 DAC fs Does PEQ well Clever volume control Neat loudness feature Competent headphone drive Good back up Comes with a hard copy manual !

Mine sit one behind each of my floor standing speakers, they are each strapped to the vertical face of a metal bookend so that the orange vent holes are at the top and bottom possibly aiding convection. The horizontal part of the bookend plate goes under the rear of the speaker housing for...
