Headphone amp..Still looking!

[Jac Hawk]

Block full of OAP's that sit in total silence all day watching & listerning, we are the only middle age in the block.I don't speak to any of them for obvious reasons, music on it'll be five against one, who's the council gonna believe, cos they all stick together..However would i rather live in a very pieceful block with OAP's or rowdy block full of idiots & druggies worring all day weither our pads been broken into, this is the thing.

Go round when they're asleap and and hide their hearing aids job done and a lot cheaper than a new amp me thinks.

For the price of a new amp i know some people in South London that can sort it for you.

I would take a look at the Ray Samuels headphone amps.
He does a reasonable range of them, portable and normal use
I have heard the 'Raptor' and 'Protector' if I remember correctly.
I was impressed with both, build quality and sound.
You don't see many in the UK, but worth a serious look at.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Andy
I was looking at the 'Raptor' the other day, looks very nice..

I guess I qualify as an OAP as I'm retired, collect my company and state pension which I worked for but I certainly don't sit in total silence all day and certainly don't chuck my beer cans on the road or stab people For starters I'm on this forum and learn from it. I have listened to music on reproduction systems as they evolve over the years, and I can spell Peaceful... No apologies for this but there are alot of guys on this forum who get alot pleasure listening to gear made by my father's and grandfather's era and thats going back sometime. Give you fifty years and you could be sitting in silence wondering where all the years have gone..... Just a thought for the day

Burson HA 160 seems well thought of
There is an Earmax for sale in the pfm classifieds.

Trouble with the Burson is it ain't available in proper hifi colour, only in lifestyle colour.

I have owned one and it sounds great. It is especially good at taming sibilance. Both my phones are prone to this on cheaper gear. Not on the Burson. It's a nice piece of work and superbly well made too. But it wasn't black so alas it had to go.

I believe Andre also wanted an external power supply so that rules out the Burson (and the Phonitor for that matter ).

The Earmax looks interesting assuming it's the black one. I haven't heard one though.
