GRAHAM SLEE SOLO HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER

The Graham Slee Solo headphone amplifier is the choice of several studios and editing suites for one very important reason - the Solo headphone amplifier makes it easy to hear the editing cues. These are musical cues that are part of the performance, but they happen so quickly that lesser headphone amplifiers are not able to resolve quickly enough and thus mask. This makes the editing suite's job very difficult indeed. The wide-bandwidth performance of the Solo headphone amplifier reproduces music with the highest resolution. Coupled with its excellent dynamics, the Solo headphone amplifier is the obvious choice for the professional user or for the pristine listener who wants to hear music as it was originally recorded.

Through the years the Graham Slee Solo headphone amp has received awards and accolades for its sound quality excellence.

Bringing Back The Oldies

In 1969 as a freshman in college, I ordered an Allied (made by Pioneer) stereo amp and Realistic (made by BSR) turntable. Many years later, when solid state became plentiful and reliable, I moth balled the old tube amp and turntable in my basement. When I retired in 2015 I decided to restore the amp with filter and coupling capacitor updates for a revisit to vinyl. As part of the restoration process I replaced the stylus on the turntable. I have to say that I am very pleased with the mellow sound of vinyl... real or nostalgically imagined : ) Thank you LP Tunes for stocking a part for my old turntable!

This stylus makes my Denon DP400 turntable sound like it did new out of the box.
