As for the EAR834 Air itself, while calibrating I've noticed I always get a a delicate MF recess, no matter what I do:(neverming the HF roll-off--it's my cheap card, I'll scan it with SG505-HP400FL when I mount them)Can it be that this slight recess ...

I think there is a definate trend here regarding distortions that cannot be ignored.  Guy, you pointed out some excessive 2nd order harmonics with the Melq bias point.  Hey, maybe so.  I haven't really looked into this tube - but I jus...

[quote user="N-set"] I've been "forced" to listen on headphones due to real estate constraints and it seems those constraints will stay for few more years.  At the moment I'm using Stax Omega 2 MkI powered by a solid state amp Stax 717. I've always...
