That's a beauty! 👍

For what it's worth the 4.4mm to 3.5mm cable for the Fostex T60RP is being sold as a balanced cable. You may want to call a manufacturer of any of these cables to find out out if they are truly balanced.

I think it has to do with the fact that instead of having a separate right and left cable for each channel of the headphone, the T60 only has a single input for both right and left channels on the left side of the headphone for balanced performance; hence the three black bands instead of two...

For what it's worth, when I purchased my Fostex T60RP headphones a few years ago they came with some nice extras. However, I still needed a 4.4mm cable so that I could use these headphones through the balanced output of my ifi Ican Signature headphone amplifier. I decided to use a 4.4mm...

IMHO, you can make a case for the stock T60RP setting a benchmark for the law of diminishing returns. It's a great headphone for the money. The Argon is not that much more expensive and if you feel that its improvements justify the additional cost then it must also be considered an incredible...

Frank builds nice equipment. I have an old dac from AVA circa 2008 that's very nice sounding. Back in the early 1990's I purchased an AVA Fet valve 300i hybrid amplifier that was very pleasant to listen to driving a pair of 15 ohm LS3/5's. The Ultravalve is fairly rare. I think they actually...

I still have my late Dad's Dynakit Stereo 70 that he built around 1961. Really nice sounding amplifier. It needs a full restoration which I may have done in the future. I did some mild DIY stuff a few decades back (changing out capacitors, resistors etc.) but did not like dealing with the...

Beautiful receiver! My late Brother had an SX750 as part of his first real audio system back in the late 1970's. I have it now as part of my vintage collection of gear. BTW nice workshop. 👍

And suddenly it's the 1970's all over again! lol. I owned a Teac A 2300 reel to reel. It was nice sounding and built like a tank!

The Sony is such a cool looking receiver! 👍

That's a beautiful 771! I remember back in the summer of 1975 when my Dad took me to Bryce Audio in Manhattan to purchase my first audio system, as a 16th Birthday gift from my parents. I was overwhelmed by all of the lit up receivers, with their bright colorful lighting and shiny chrome...

My late Dad had a Rek-O-Cut turntable for over 30 years. It had this massive tone arm and the base of the turntable was installed into a precut wooden shelf in his den. Back in the 1960's Dad also had a Fairchild 412 turntable with the histerisis motor. It was a beautiful looking turntable...

The good old days when I could actually lift a receiver that heavy. lol In the midst of restoring an old SYSTEMDEK IIX. I still have a NOS Jelco 370 oil damped tonearm that I will also get around to installing on it one of these days. Enjoy your project! 👍

Glad that you're enjoying your system! I have an old NAD 3130 from 1987 that still sounds great. 👍

I understand that. But, unlike a tube amplifier, which fans can actually cool down a bit, the class A solid state amplifiers will just work harder to operate at the temperature they are designed to work at. I learned this when using my old Classe Audio DR3 VHC power amplifier from the late...

My H10 has the stock op amps and it runs cool to the touch. For class A bias solid state amplifiers that are designed to run hot, if you use a cooling fan on them, the amp will just work harder to operate at the temperature that it was designed to run at.

Physically impressive looking headphone amplifier. Do they include a forklift to lift the W2022 at the retail price? 🙄

It's amazing how much difference an audio cable can make in how a system can sound. Glad that it was an easy fix! 👍

Yes, I really like the sound of the Classic. It's nothing flashy, but you can listen to it for hours on end without becoming fatigued. Maybe the Classic and Daccord need to be recapped? I guess they're at least a decade old or more so if they have had a lot of use you might want to send them...

Hi Dominick! I bought your Meier Audio Classic from you a few years ago. It's a great sounding HEADPHONE amplifier. I use it with a few dacs: Audio By Van Alstine Insight Multibit dac, Schiit Modius and an ifi Zen Dac Signature V1. The Classic works well with all of them and sounds...

God willing he survived and is well. And now driving something that is more road worthy. 👍
