Really? Coz when I look at the review, the E9 is described as average at everything, but good at its price, and it was described as slightly warm. I was considering it, but thought that others could do better on detail at a similar price range or a bit higher?
It seems like that the <$300 price range doesn't have any detailed amps ):
Funny. I've seen people describing it as completely transparent and black, and not adding anything to the sound. I suppose it's the E7 that's adding the warmth, if there is any.
Have you checked out the London mini-meet thread? http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/525901/london-mini-meet-impressions
I think it's a good testimony as to how the E7/E9 delivers.
Other people have also described the E9 as a very transparent amp:
