After the SR-Ω the fit is a problem for me as well. They are the only headphone you can forget you are wearing. Makes me wonder about an SR-Ω with SR-007 drivers...

It is flawed but I'm going to buy one anyway. When I manage to find one it will be fun to see how long it will take me to start modifying it...

If they'd used something really meaty eg 845/GM70/SV572-3 with a constant current load and no NFB they'd have made an amazing amp for their two Omegas. The 6DJ8 cascode for the gain stage wasn't the greatest idea, either. |
