Hey Pale Rider,
it's now Day 2 with my new Taboo amp driving my LCD-2 cans. Up to now I've been using an old Head Room (The Max) can amp and while it was not bad for a SS amp, I found myself yearnin' for a little tube lovin'.
So it's Day 2 (maybe 8 hrs total listening). I tried patching the Taboo direct from a line out from my Joule Electra Pre Amp, hmmm,...sounds good, but not a lot of gain, I maxed it out without imploding my eardrums (not that that is my primary focus). I then tried variable into the Taboo from Aux/Tape out on the Joule Electra, now I have a little more gain potential and the sound borders on sublime and the unit is not even broken in yet.
The Joule Electra Pre Amp has the ability to adjust output impedance, but I need to open the case and install jumpers (MU follower), I may try that this weekend,...oh, wait it's Christmas, I guess I'll wait till the New Year.
Anyway, this Decware Amp sounds sweet with the Audeze cans. I'll post again when the unit is more broken in. I might even try direct from my Bel Canto DAC, but then I won't be able to use my Krell SACD player. I also thought of using an input tube with more gain.
Congrats on your Taboo amp and happy listening!. :)
Cheers
Jeff
