Hi All, Very interesting comments. My amp is an Arcam A39 and I am currently using Monitor Audio Studio speakers which did not get reviewed well but I find them brilliant and very detailed. All cables and interconnect s are Van Den Hul. A lot of my listening is vinal using both a Technics 1210...

That's extremely helpful. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks so much Sid for the reply. That's sort of what I was hoping to hear. If the streamed content sounds like the Apollo I will be happy I think. As a matter of interest why do you no longer use the Rega and have you found an even better alternative?

Hi, I am looking for advice. I own an Apollo R CDP that I like the sound signature of. I can still get a Rega DAC -R from a local supplier that they have in stock despite it now been discontinued and think it would compliment the Apollo. But I would also want to use it for streaming from a PC...

Hi, I am looking for advice. I own an Apollo R CDP that I like the sound signature of. I can still get a Rega DAC -R from a local supplier that they have in stock despite it now been discontinued and think it would compliment and add to the Apollo from reading online. But I would also want to...

Appreciate the responce. Maybe low end Distortion is not the correct term. Just distortion then. And you talk there about sound profiles etc. But to me Dynamic driver headphones distort very easily playing rock or loud complex music pieces.. Do Planer Headphones really distort less and are they...

If I thought it was worth 700 pounds or higher to get a set that did the job - I would pay that sort of money. I paid 350 or thereabouts for the HD 650 and am disappointed that they are only good for certain types of music. This is never a problem with speakers even at the price point.

Hi All, I have a couple of pairs of headphones that I run with an Arcam rHead Amp. The ones I mostly use are a set of Sennheiser HD 650s which are great for acoustic music and less aggressive music. My problem is that they sound very distorted especially at the low end listening to Led Zep or...
