Dude, I was just talking to Pavel about maybe souping that PPAS up with a lithium ion battery and such. He told me not to do it, but it sounds so good, I almost wanna just force him to do it if I can. Gahhh, I don't need another portable amp, and my friend is using it plugged into the wall as a desktop amp, it suits that function. Why mess with things? But my friend is located near him and I really wanna hear my portable rig through that, haha, it's such a nice little amp, sounds like a big boy in a lot of ways, imo. Might be better suited for me over my current portable amp due to gain difference, I'm not sure. Bloop.
I bought a YHD-3 and old Sony headphone today, waiting on shipping. I'll have to restitch the pads, they are way too far gone, I bought some hopefully super supple leather for the job. But most of these old Sony headphones had angled drivers so I'm confident the headphone I bought will too and they are 40mm, AFAIK, so should be good foster phone. Idk, maybe leave YHD-3's stock if they sound nice, but would be cool if they were comfortable, I hate supra-aural's.
But for you, maybe check out Fostex T10. I preferred the T10 to SFI, they had a more laid back sound I'd say, but not too laid back, like perfect, and possible most comfortable supra-aural? I think they also sound clearer than SFI/ATH-2, at least in certain frequency ranges maybe, definitely flatter, imo. Not sure, maybe YHD's were a tiny bit clearer than SFI but I ended up selling my YHD's not thinking they were really that special. I still own T10's. YHD didn't sound that much warmer to me than SFI's and I wouldn't classify either as really "warm." I guess I'd call T10 neutral and SFI "honky" due to upper mids peak.
