About headphones and powersupplies
1. A story
An Englishman goes to visit to the Soviet Union, and it happens that he has to ask for the hour. He asks, and the Russian asks in return - we
are in the Soviet Union, where do you want to know what the hour is, here?
In Moscow? In Leningrad? In Aquachistan? In Chernobyl? In Siberia?
The Englishman wonders – you can tell me the hour at all these places only by looking on this very tiny watch on your wrist? Yes, answers the Russian.
Amazing, says the Englishman, I want to buy this tiny watch. OK, says the
Russian, it will cost you 2,000$. The Englishman pays, he takes the tiny watch and wants to go, Hey, says the Russian, it doesn’t work without these two powersupplies – and he handles the Englishman two very big and heavy suitcases.
2. Sennheiser hd600.
The story comes up between my friend and me. This friend owns a CD3, Flatcap/90/92/NAT3 and Credoes. He hates boxes!
The question is if there is a sonic difference if using a headline or if he connects the headphones directly to the power amp Output.
He is also asking for any information that can help him with the headphones.
Thanks,
Arye
