More thoughts as I remember them

The Ultrasone sound seems to sit in-between Senn and Denon. Interesting but nothing further

I have previously heard the GS1000 so nice to have the RS1 there to try out. I found the upper range slightly "twangy" for want of a better word. I do find the fit of Grados absolutely fine on that aspect

I quite enjoyed the headphone out of the Apogee Duet. Punchy and dynamic I thought

Shame there was no m902 there as I first heard the HD800 through that amp and I liked the combination. Dac1 just could not compete with three pronged assault of B22, WA22 and Stax

I put that comment under "confirmed" because I previously had them on loan from MrJoshua on this here forum, albeit non-PSU version. Well the PSU version did not change my mind

The RSA Tomahawk I used to have was comparable with it. For the price premium it is disappointing for me, especially in the context the Tomahawk is just a wee portable amp. I also find the GS sound to be cold and analytical and could do with being warmer, although I suppose headphone matching *could* compensate

Also my thanks to Sceptre for bringing his extensive collection. And letting everyone look and touch his JH13Pros
