Hi y'all!.
Well, I finally got my Taboo amp up and runnin' for my Audeze LCD-2 cans!. Ahhhhh,...she sounds good, think I'll call her "Betty".
Sorry about the delay getting back, but when I received her, I inserted the rectifier tube with the guide key not aligned, she went up in smoke! :'( Yes, you may call me "Doofus", I guess I was just to damn excited to get her going and not paying close attention. Well Betty is back from repairs and I've got about 8 hrs on her, already the tone is magic, can't wait till she's fully run in.
I've patched the Taboo variable from the aux/tape out from my Joule Electra pre amp, so I'm using the attenuator that's on board the Taboo. I also tried her direct from the line out on the preamp, but I thought that it was lacking a little gain,...in other words I could bump the volume control to the max and not blow my brains out. These aren't the easiest cans in the world to drive (50 ohms), but a little extra oomph, when it's 11pm and I'm sipping on my Rum n' coke wouldn't be out of order. I do have the option of adjusting the output impedance on my pre amp, but I have to tear off the lid and install jumpers, something to do with Mu follower instead of plate follower or visa versa.
I'll only be using the Taboo as a headphone amp, so I do have some variables I can play with.
Cheers to Steve and crew for getting my Taboo back to me so quick and for their patience and forbearance with my idiot move!.
What an amp.
Jeff
