Priming...

I have 16 hours on these now, and a lot of progress has occurred. I have been very happy with my Alpha Dogs since May. When I learned that the Primes were in the works I thought that I could not afford another thousand bucks, but might consider upgrading... I have been living very
austerely and said that I could exist on ramen and mac n cheese if necessary. The decision was wise, these are really excellent! I knew they would be, just didn't know how long it would take. The first hour was not bad, just not close to potential, but at 10 hours it started knocking my socks off!
I am hearing deeper into the music than before, with no apparent veiling.
The Songs of Distant Earth by Mike Oldfield has many complex layers and
harmonies, all very well presented and easy to hear.
The Alpha Prime likes power, I use my Van Alstine Transcendance 8+
preamp which has a very good hp opamp but backed by 6cg7 tubes in the
linestage. It sounds great both for my phones and main sytem.
The Prime headphones will definitely get you into the high end neighborhood at a reasonable price!
