RE: I am breaking in a new amp

76.9.77.100

Travis, My first set of cans are grado sr80's and the second set is the Fostex t50rp's with the Mayflower mods. The Grados are ok but remind me of two cups of sandpaper over my ears and sound similar to the transistor radio I grew up with. Really not that bad but very uncomfortable. The Fostex are very detailed and image very well but they are closed in giving that kind of a feeling. I have a Matrix M stage with the burr brown class a biasing mod, seems very nice and a good match with the fostex. I am going to RMAF show in October and look forward to hearing the High end Grado's amd the Sennheiser 650's. I am most interested in the 650's because I can use a tube amp, all of my main system is tubes. I am using a Music Reference rm4+ phono stage with the Matrix. All and all an ok starting point.
Thanks for the web site referral.
