Sorry to sound like a noob, but how do use a speaker amp to drive a headphone? Arent the connectors different?
*
from the pic above the gryphon amp, there is a small transformer box for k1000 biggrin.gif
use it to connect to speakers output and from there connect to k1000

wow so many answer at once. I really must be a noob  tongue.gif

Btw where does the Airtight Tube Preamp come in the equation??

a lot biggrin.gif
do a readup on K1000 at headfi with the speaker amps counterparts
apparently the Airtight and FirstWatt amps r known well to pair with the earspeakers thumbup.gif

well i will bring my hd555 if some1 interested in trying...
that is one entry level headphones but it became my overall favourite lite time listening except the bigger HD800 and K1000 became my main guns biggrin.gif need powerful amps and proper setup for those....
for the flagship cans, i would appreciate if someone bring at least a desktop amp/dac or separate dac with amp
something like audiogd Compass, Yulong Dac, LittleDot MK4, Darkvoice, or solid state amps with iec sockets something decent enough to drive the hd650 to certain level
source i will leave it to u guys but hopefully it is lossless or in WAV format or cds itself
alternatively hopefully can organize on someone's house where it's much quiet and much better listening location
some pics to get gathering going! rclxms.gif

yeah...even myself not confident compass can drive ur dt800  sweat.gif

edit : wrong spelling

well does yur compass has preamp output or line output?
if that the case then i will bring my preamp to boost the soundstage of yur amp
will be able to widen the horizons on yur amp and drive the hd800 to acceptable level

so guys...any conclusion for the 'next' gathering?

well u guys decide where to hold and so on
for venue and date i think it's more fair that u guys give any suggestion and opinions
however i suggest that Eiraku make a time and venue and c whether it can accomodate each's other schedule over the week

As tomorrow I'm waiting for the Dell guys to come patch up my lappy... (AND I'm actually still recovering), I'd say this Saturday?

So, where do you guys think is best for a TT? Good location, less noise - preferably a cafe... hmm.gif

Where are you based Sep? I'm going to be coming from Shah Alam, so the entire Klang Valley is pretty much game... biggrin.gif

Updating FP to feature the new TT... biggrin.gif

i at pj should be easy to meet up and organize somewhere in Klang Valley

ok guys i believe the best time is on this coming Friday
some suggest Amcorp mall macdonald but i not sure there got power sockets or not
for Starbuck there definitely will have and depends on spacing and seats
and For A&W there well it will be holiday on that day and there will be some children running around screaming and so on...wont be suitable for auditing equipments and need keep away from those gatal gatal kid's hands... dont want them split out ice cream or milkshake ...cant bear the thought doh.gif
i need to check with Eiraku whether it is suitable to organize on afternoon 2 pm onwards
for sources guys pls bring any portable dp with lossless or laptop with lossless files or cds
for any1 who bringing desktop dac/amps, i can supply with powercords, rcas to mini and rcas to rcas but i dun have coaxial or toslink cables
i will bringing my mobile preamp Audiotrak Dac3 for additional power to push the Dt880 and Hd800
may need a extra extension plugs but that i can take care of
