[HighLife]

well ive had this about 2 weeks and i have to say...im extremely impressed with this little guy.

Its built fantastically imo...nice smooth and solid build.

Ive been using it with mostly grados. Ive gone between the HF2, HF1 and it just sounds as it was almost MADE for these phones. Its smooth, accurate...however, has a warm finish to it...its almost lush, but doesnt lose detail or pace.

I had to start out with my favorite recordings which is Eric Clapton Unplugged. I noticed right off the bat the detail that this amp provides is amazing. The deep bass that comes through in "Before you accuse me" is nothing short of awesome. The airy bass really brings out that deep immersed feeling i love in music. This amp can really deliver and deliver well...i could almost be happy with just this alone in my system.

I have had it long enough to run the battery out so i cant comment on the life or anything. I can tell you that its a dam small amp for the big sound it produces.

I have briefly used it with my IEMs and noticed that its really not a nice match...which is why i believe this amp was made for full size cans. I would of like to see a gain switch so that IEMs were possible. Dont get me wrong, its NOT BAD AT ALL...its just you have too much volume at times for IEMS.

I have really enjoyed my time with this amp, its very surprising (as most things are in this hobby). I can completely vouch for this amp and grados. I have found that its just a perfect match. I have tried HF1-RS1-SR125-SR60 so far and its been a pleasure with each.

Again, thanks to Todd for giving me the opportunity to listen to this beauty. I might have to pick up one of these in the near future.
