GREAT review. It was a pleasure to read / compare some favorite amps. I have several recommendations for you (format related):
1) You can use "quote"s for each amp & also you can use italic & bold & colors & numbers. It will be easier to follow; like:
Quote:
1) Enhanced CMOY
An upgrade of the original design with upgraded (and socketed) opamps with audiophile parts.
Sounds similar to the original CMOY. Sound signature can be voiced by changing the opamp
Enhanced CMOY vs. Pimeta Winner-Pimeta

Quote:
2) Pimeta
When this design first came out they were touted as an improvement over the CMOY.
Treble
Fast attack, little decay
Midrange
Clean but lacking tone body
Bass
Punchy, but with little deep bass
Image
2D
Dynamics
Limited
Pimeta vs. CMOY:Winner-Pimeta

2) I might add a small excel-ish table (but as a picture) - like a product-feature matrix:
Columns: Treble / Midrange / Bass / Image / Dynamics / Compared to & winner
Rows: amps
Therefore it's going to be a 20x6 matrix - again easier to follow.
3) I would create a "RESOURCES and USEFUL LINKS" section & put all your links into this section (but also keep them in the body).
4) If possible one picture (front) for each amp in their respective part would be great - like you did for the doge.
Overall, the content is really useful, but you can make it more beautiful
Now I have a specific question to you:

1st question > you described it really well; within my limited sources, cans, amps, etc. the depth of listening with headphones is simply not satisfactory enough.
It sounds/seems that most if not all instruments including vocals are on the same plane (2d) and just in front of my nose, or worse, above my head (especially compared to listening music with speakers). Only sometimes I can dream/hear that it has a depth (probably due to recording). What would be your amp recommendation to help maximize the depth?
2nd question > what did you use (as an amp) for your rts-3's
