Head-Fi Meet Impressions, Trade Show Reports, Factory ToursThis sub-forum will serve as an archive location of past Head-Fi Meet impressions, trade show reports and factory tours.
I also enjoyed the Ergo very much but I thought that both Ergo's were the same and so I only tested the one that was connected on the front side of the amp - can anyone remember which one it was?
I found the clarity and the comfort really impressive. Found some information on a swiss website but wasn't able to discover which amp it was, that we used on the meet - was it the Ergo Amp 1?
I think round about 550,00 for the headphone and the amp is a great price.
Another question ... there was in Ipod connected to the Ergo and that Ipod was packed into a "skin" - does anyone no which one?
That was the Ergo 2 connected to the front.
The AMT was (as should be) to the rear. It was the Ergo Amp 1 indeed.
It was a clearskin (via ebay from a Hong Kong dealer.)

Hirsch has a balanced set. He's always been slightly non-commital about how he feels about them. I bought my AMT from him.
With the AMT and the Ergo 2 connected to the Amp 1, theres a notable performance drop in the Ergo 2 because the AMT sucks up all of the available power. For those thinking of going AMT, I would, now, with the more experience I've gathered since I wrote my review of the combo say that a good speaker amp is far far better.
The Ergo 2 really is good though, it was at the Scotland meet a few weeks back when I got the chance to listen to some dynamic headphones again I remembered how much I liked them, and how I like them more than the HD650.
I have another question for you and Duggeh or anybody else who can share his experience). If I decide to go the Ergo-route is it advisable also to buy an Ergo Amp 1 or would it be better to buy another amp (I already have a Glite and was also thinking about something tubey)?
How does this amp work together with other headphones or is there a special magic between the Ergo 2 and the Ergo amp?
The Ergo Amp 1 is equalised through the AMT socket for the AMT headphone (but this doesnt compensate enough for its lack of power).
Pinkfloyd likes the Amp1 quite a lot with the Ergo 2, HD600 and HD414. He has modded his a little though. The regular headphone socket doesn't have the EQ, at least I never noticed it there. It matches well with the Ergo 2, but the Heed Canamp or better would be a step up. The Amp 1 matches poorly with Grados. Fair amount of hiss.
It's been a fair while since I've had mine. More than a year. It has adjustable gain via dials on the back I should add.
and so I only tested the one that was connected on the front side of the amp - can anyone remember which one it was?
