  1. 1972, Sansui introduced the

    integrated amplifier AU-9500 along with

    less expensive models AU-6500, AU-7500,

    and AU-8500. These amplifiers were well

    built, and very heavy with massive power

    transformers and heat syncs. With the

    distinguished look of the front panel, it

    was simply called, Âthe Black Face.Â

    Sound-wise, it was the extension of the

    single number three digits series, and

    had rich tube like low frequency with the

    natural mid to high sound. It seems

    being reached to the maturity of the

    first generation of solid state amplifiers.

  2. the tuube amp is a diy. how great would that be . its just built to work and demonstrate how a tube headfone amp should sound like.

    but what im describing (lack of bass) is surely for the tube amp.

    It's obvious it's a DIY amp, but being DIY doesn't mean it has to sound bad. Poor design and/or execution is probably the problem. Those are pretty nice HP for the the money. Do you have any others you could try?

    The load on the amp must be at least as high as the headphone impedance. If not, the bass will roll off and will distort very easily. The HP are 50 and you are using the supposedly 32 ohm setting. That is the best setting you have. There could also be an impedance mismatch between your preamp and the tube amp.

    there is no pre amp.the headfone amp is fed by the soundcard .

    the impedance is 32 ohms usually. 100 ohm setting makes it a bit punchier ,louder ,though by 2to3 db only, ....

    my other posts imply if this same amp could drive rf3s or not ??????it gives 3 watts but ofcouurse impedance is the issue ? plz advise

  3. I would really love to have the PM15S2 and have seriously considered it but I'm very pleased with my 2245 for the time being so I think I will wait

    wow,

    does that somehow mean the 2245 series of oldy marantz is still holding its flag upright to the latest like the PM 15s2.....??????

    id be damned !!!!

    [;)]

    im surely glad to be owning a 2230 ....

    it surely is better than a lot of newbies out there ....

  4. To many, the music is more important than the delivery system. A superb system won't make inferior music and/or an inferior recording more enjoyable. Conversely, an excellent recording of excellent music is still enjoyable when played on a clock radio, or even a Bose music machine. Sure it's better on an excellent system, but the diminishing return factor is tremendous.

    yes , i second dennie , well said and phrased just right !!![:)]

    How is your Baby doing? Party!!!
