Like mrarroyo, I'll say to you, Larry, that the anticipation of the 200 hour mark (and your additional impressions) is simply TOO scrumptious to want to rush.

To all fellow Amphora-seekers and/or owners:
At some point, I'll be comparing the Amphora to a Purity Audio Caliente (discrete SS), Mapletree Ear+ Purist HD (desktop tube amp), TTVJ Portable Millet Hybrid (portable tube amp) and RSA SR71A (I was just starting out in portable audio with the first, original Go-Vibe amps from Norm Dalgarno back when the original SR71 was available). A good bit of water will need to flow under the bridge, though, before any of those comparisons can be offered by me.

What a FANTASTIC time to be into headphone audio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(my wallet has a different exclamation to offer, which, for the sake of decorum, I'll leave unposted).
