Ever listen to your headphones or speakers and realize the drums are backwards? Like the hi hat comes from the left, as if we're playing the drums, not listening to someone play them? It annoys me.
Listening to The Dismemberment Plan I was glad to hear they got it right. Until I watched some Youtoob videos and found out the drummer is a lefty. So they still got it backwards. Numerous times over and over again, seeing the band ruins what I think of them in my head.

Man that test scares me. I hear the 16k fine, the 17k I am not sure that I hear the sound, or just the click of the start and stop. I am listening on my Bose QC3 headphone ( sorry to offend any purest ) so I will say its them and not me. I guess the years of big sound systems in my cars ( my excursion was the last with 8 12" JL audio subs and 4000 watts) are catching up. I thought my Tundra just had a terrible stock radio, maybe its really me.

i have audiotechnica m30's i believe... i like them. alright range. plus they were made 20 miles from where i live. they seem cheaply made, but sound pretty damn good to me. i listen to a lot of music... probably not the best quality... i have 92 gigs of music on my mac (all of it i enjoy)... some records... some cds... play some guitar....
nothing sounds (sounded—only one side works now) as good as my vintage pickering PH4995 CANS. these things hurt your neck after about 10 minutes... i think they weigh about 2-3 lbs
freekin loudest headphones ever. they're almost as loud as my mac external speakers. awesome range... i FEEL the bass

What you expected? Or better?
Better than what I expect is impossible. :mrgreen:
More or less what I was hoping for. Still pretty early to say much about it. Also, I'm using my CD player instead of the computer, so that's a new sound also. Two changes at once... :roll:
I'm really surprised I didn't follow through with the Woo. But right now, I'm glad I got the Sonett.

Picked one of these up like 2 weeks ago. Works pretty good for a manual cleaner. Gets really tedious after like 5 records...then after 15 records you want to quit....or it is just me being lazy...I have done maybe 100 records with it so far....in like 3 sessions....
Been listening to the Sony DVP S9000ES CD player with the amp for almost a week, at least a couple hours every night. But being limited to only a dozen or so CDs I actually want to hear I figured I'd take the next step, and it's a relatively cheap one so I don't veer too far off my main plan with the monies and shit.
I bought an Apple Airport Express.
I plug it into the same outlet as the headphone amp, plug a Toslink cable into the small round hole, and the other end of the cable goes into my old Theta Cobalt digital to analog convertor, then RCAs from that go to the amp. Using my iPod Touch and an App called Remote, I control my iMac in the back room which sends a wireless signal up to the Airport Express and I have access to all my music on the computer. Quite cool.

Did a little experimenting myself and found that the D/A converter in my old 30gig iPod sounds a lot better than the one in the in-dash CD player (mid-line Kenwood) in the old hoopty Ranger. So now I plug in the 'pod instead of CD's. Sounds better and it's more easier, too.
For home listening, the Yamaha's built-in DAC is pretty hard to beat, so I run a DVD player with the optical cable. When I'm not listening to the reel-to-reel :ror:

The 4th and 5th generation iPods are known to sound the best, they have a Wolfson DAC and those are found in high end CD players. I have a 5th gen video just because of that reason.

do you have any vinyl to try with that amp8) true analog"thumbsup".still a bit of vinyl out there
I had to curtail the desire to purchase new/more headphones somehow. So, I ordered some tubes for the amp. New addictions are fun.
Two rectifiers:
Sovtek 5AR4
Shuguang 5AR4 / GZ34
And an output tube:
Electro-Harmonix 6H30Pi
The Sovtek matches the current output tube (all in the family/house sound I guess), and the Shuguang is just another option, said to be very reliable. The Electro-Harmonix output tube is said to be a little bit more transparent, a little warmer sound overall, and a tad more forward in the vocal range.
