The Beresford Capella Headphone Amplifier

Stephen,
I have a full stable of Superlux cans 668b/330/440/660 bang for buck unbeatable-----might have to look at alternatives!!!

Ah ha!
Well when I get my Beyer 990/600's back from the importer you are welcome to try them

i am waiting for my capella, i hope it will give a good job with my DAC bushmaster MK2 DAC and can be an upgrade for the amp part of this

I have received the capella today and i have a problem with it

When i connect it to the power it the box of the amp became "electric" ; when i touch the amp i take a little bit of electricity. I have change the cable for the bushmaster cable it is the same and when i connect the two it is also the same : i can feel electricity on the two (capella and bushmaster). Even my source connected by the coaxial cable has the the same trouble.






Edit : Stanley explain to me answering to a mail, that i can resolve that by using the earth tag

I just spent some time replying to that question of yours in the email you sent me even though I try to also have only a 40 hour week like everyone else.
Follow the solution and procedure as explained in my email, as far as grounding equipment is concerned.
I'll be back on Monday during office hours to see how far you got in this thread.

At the same time you answer me here i have edited my post to tell you have given to me the solution.

I have connected a metallic cable between the earth tag and a metal part of the amp and the problem is solved.

I received my new HD700s today. They work very well indeed with the Capella (not too shabby with the BM2 either). Settings on the Capella are quite different to what suited me with 650s. I need to get a couple of hundred hours on them to let them settle down but straight out of the box a great combo.

The Capella may well cost me a fortune in Shoe/Handbag equalisation purchases!!!!!

But wot you gonny buy the wife Tony :lol:

Aye mate....whatever she wants, cause they're worth it!!
Yer a long time dead!!!!

The Capella has made me realise the fuss about top end cans. I listen to cans a lot-might aswell make the most of it. Reckon by this time next year 800s will be on my ears.

Nae pockets in a Shroud as my old mam used to say....
