Connecting a Headphone Preamp

Submitted by Rantoul on

Hi Folks, This is my first post on the forum. I just bought a Xiang Sheng 708B headphone preamp on ebay. My current system is an Antique SoundsAQ-2004DT preamp with a CD, Tuner and Aux inputs, B&O RX-2 Turntable, Creek OBH-8 MM Phono Preamp, Cambridge Audio P500 Power Amp and a Cambridge Audio D500-SE CD Player. I wanted to listen with some headphones so I bought the headphone preamp since none of my components have a headphone output. Problem is I'm not sure how to connect it!

Luxman 505u - Wow!

Amplification

I worked with Luxman equipment back in the late 70s. Their amps had a very smooth and refined sound. Build quality was solid and finish was always elegant.

I can't wait to hear some feedback on the new (and drop-dead gorgeous) 505u integrated.

If you have any experience with recent (Y2k+) Luxman amps, please share.

Thanks!

The new Miles Davis <I>On The Corner</I> set, which Sony says is the last metal boxed chunk of Miles they're gonna release, ever, is also the most beautiful, ever. Like the LP which reached its finest, most completely perfected form just before CDs came in, the boxed set is reaching its zenith with this one. The funky characters from the original cover are now stamped into the metal casing into which the set, book and CDs combined slip into. It's the same setup that Sony’s been using since the beginning of what has proved to be colossal reissue program.

Hiya,

I've wangled 4 nights in New York at the start of Nov, and have got a day's pass to search out Jazz I cannot get back in the UK- where do you guys recommend that I go?

Also interested in any shops selling a decent range of audiophile Vinyl reissues

And if anyone is considering coming over to the UK I can return the favour

Cheers

Isolation Platform for Turntables

Forums
The Entry Level
Submitted by FriedmanNY on

Any recommendations for an affordable (under $500) vibration isolation platform to be used with a turntable (Basis 1400). The Gingko Cloud 11 seems interesting, but I learned that additional weight should be added to the platform since the turntable weighs only 15 lbs. or so. Who wants to add an ugly looking weight to a setup?

Does anyone strong believe in isolation platforms or are they a waste of money? Would you rather invest the $400 into a better cartridge? Thanks in advance for your help. EF
