Re: Headphone amp

my recently acquired Hegel H160 Hegel 160. Hmmm - nice ! :grin: Must give the headphone circuit in my HD12 a good try-out. Probably the same circuit. Probably not the same circuit. Hegel state that the headphone output bits are driven from the H160's main amplifier. It's a shame that they didn't ma...

Re: Headphone amp

Thinking of buying a personal amp from NVA. Anyone here using one? Yes, I have the AP10H. It has no difficulty driving high impedance Beyerdynamic T1 'phones; indeed it drives them rather better than that maker's own A2 headphone amplifier. The AP10H chucks out music in a lovely warm, big-hearted m...

I am reminded of a quote from the late, great George Melley, who described this sort of jazz as sounding like 'fire in the zoo'.

Re: BMU

Thanks for the explanation. I've been using a PS Audio P5 regenerator which does what it's supposed to, but even though it doesn't use the traditional high power amplifier circuit it still consumes a fair bit of power; however, more critically, there's something not quite right 'musically' with it p...
