Adding a GSP Solo head amp

Hey there,

I'm just burning in a very lovely Graham Slee Solo MC headphone amp to use with my AKG K-701 cans. As I'm new to headphone listening, I have a dumbass question.

A bit of background...

My source is a Squeezebox 3 running FLAC into a CIAudio VDA2 DAC via co-ax. At the moment, the VDA2 then goes straight into the Solo head amp (the DAC also feeds my MF A3.5 > Dynaudio S1.4 speakers at the flick of the phase switch).

Help stop dynamic compression

I believe that one of the most damaging changes to music that is perpetrated by the record industry is dynamic compression. Dynamic compression is the reduction of the volume difference between the loudest and the softest sounds on a recording. Record companies feel that an album or song that is consistently louder will

"At Least They Agree on Something?" Pardon my French, but what the fuck?

Do any of you audiophiles outside California get the "gays shouldn't be allowed to get married" banner ad?

"Yes On 8?"

Perhaps "Yes on 8" is really some form of obtuse reference to speaker impedance not being allowed to dip too low?

Well, at leat nobody can claim that Stereophile leans too far to the left any more.

On the plus side, if 8 passes, maybe we can move on to addressing the shamble heteros have made out of the institution of marriage.

A 50% divorce rate amongst heteros doesn't exactly do marriage proud.

Stereophile's Sub Services Staff are the worst !!!!

Hi!

Don't know if this belongs here, but here it goes:

I have been a subscriber since 2003.

I have always, and I mean ALWAYS had problems with my address being misprinted on the mailing labels.

If you attempt to correct/update via Stereophile's webpage, it will take 3 months before you see any changes, and they will do it wrong anyway. If you send an email with your address, they will get it wrong too!!!

Ben Allison, the election, and, well...me

One of my favorite jazz bands, Ben Allison’s Medicine Wheel, is playing at the Jazz Standard Nov. 4. Allison is an enticing bassist and composer, agile and inventive, flitting from Herbie Nichols to film noir to raga, ska, funky blues, and straight-ahead jazz without showing a seam, loosening his wit, or abandoning the melody or the swing. The band is first-rate (regular readers will recognize most of them): Frank Kimbrough, piano; Jenny Scheinman, violin; Ted Nash and Michael Blake, reeds; and Michael Sarin, drums.
