I agree the Aegis and HD 620S combo is very nice. I dedicated a good part to it in my review. That said, not all tube amp synergy was that good

Thanks man! And @twister6 is right, him, Marcus and me get along just fine. There is no envy or whatever and we all do our own thing. Also, it is perfectly fine to like or dislike anyone's pictures or writing style, we can't all like the same things. I would advise to not let negative comments...

Tried the 560S pads on the 620S, not recommended at all.

The cache might have been showing the wrong info, that should be corrected now

I strongly disagree to that statement 😁

Yes, that has been mentioned in this thread before. I have one in my office and it is excellent with the RAAL 1995, as reported. In fact I am listening to it right now

It does make the Raals very warm and smooth with added body and bass. It's nice and fun but not really reference

Do you mean the Caldera Open? I have that one as well

That part actually just is a "copy/paste" out of my review :thinking:

So this happened today Now I just need more time to listen to both...

I agree, The VM-1a, PDA-1b and Armageddon all sound excellent. I do find the Armageddon a bit too powerful though for normal to drive headphones

From all the amps I have tried so far, the 300b is the best match so far. yes indeed. Both are pictured here: https://www.head-fi.org/posts/18089052

Is that with the Hifiman adapter by any chance?

If all goes well, the Immanis should be here next week to join the party!

3.5 stereo and female 4-pin XLR

Having some RAAL fun with the Armageddon 😁 I have been mainly focusing on the Armageddon today, with some good recordings from Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Roger Waters. Work was boring but at least my ears were happy :-)

The experience is very different, so I find this very normal. I still like the SR-1b myself, even with the Magna being here No single headphone is perfect guys, never forget that. On top of that we all like to hear different things, so 1 headphone can't be liked by everyone. That said...

This reminds me I need to hook it up to the Envy today!

Auris 300B if you don't mind using tubes

Not sure what you mean. The interface needs to be used with the Armageddon amp as well (+ compensation barrels), so there isn't really a "how Armageddon compares", as the interface always is needed. Atm I have 1 TI-1b interface (of the SR-1b) and one new interface of the Magna. I don't think...

No no, but I do live in the middle of nowhere. So there's no sound pollution

I can hear my Magna 2 rooms away...

Just fired it up with the Magni. So far I only tried the DCA E3 (good) and the Austrian Composer (not good)

It's alive! I'll also be listening to it today on this very new Auris 300b

Basically everything I ever reviewed, and more. Any special requests?
