I'm sorry to read that. It could be possible that it's a transparent HP amp if using high impedance phones like HD600, but then it'd be of no use to me, since the phones I'm liking more lately, which I'd like to know how far can go with some fine-tunning, are 62R impedance. Probably too low and asking for too much current to the output stage in the Placette.
I wrote Guy yesterday asking about it, but he didn't reply so far.

The HP amp I'm currenlty using seems to be fairly transparent and can drive whatever phones I plug into it. I can hear through most phones the known to me qualities of the Bidat like the killer lower midrange, the lowest bass extension and texture, and the rightness in the sibilance area without the damn glare most upsamplers add there, but having a contrasted transparent phones amp would be a very interesting and educative tool for my current purposes.

BTW I had for some time a Sugden Headmaster. At first I liked it for rock, but listening to classical.... it really did something very wrong to harmonics, the worse the lower the impedance of the phones you plug into it. With 300R didn't do too bad, but not right either.

Thanks a lot Romy, I appreciate your reply. Rgrds
