Headphone Inventory	iGrado - like it really much. Best Bargain since it's available. but if You don't like the neckband buy Alessandro MS1/MS1i Sennheiser PX100 - not bad, nothing special (iGrado much much better) Sennheiser IE8 - sold - recommend it, but a bit too german (I prefer iGrado) Sennheiser IE80 - sold - good but not recommend it as much as IE8 AKG K501 - not recommend it, too bass light, big, warm, soundstage is unrealistic - amping is a challange Beyerdynamic T1 - booring - don't buy that pieces of sh*t - my worst purchase ever Grado PS1000 - amazing but not so comfy after 30 minutes, NOT worth X million $$$ but still that sound is WOW Ultrasone Edition 10 - best build quality ever in my hands, but sounds is a bad joke, forget it Etymotic Research ER-4S - not recommend it, very bad, iem-should work also without serious amping, don't buy that Sony W202 - recommend it, best "wireless" portable gear so far - easy to use - ok sound, amazing concept - no cable Sony W252 - not recommend it, too big, bad build quality and layout, but buy iGrado and modifiy the headband ESW9 - good but not as good as excepted, discomfortable - heavy for my likings and too much clamping force Grado HF2 - sound is out of this world, but a bit expensive to justified the price tag. Alessandro ======================================================================================= My all time favorite headphone: Alessandro MS Pro -> small, light, sound is beautiful, relatively cheap Pro's: does everything right (for my music), love mahagony (classical, sacred music, jazz) Con's: comfort problems, thick annoying cable, one-sided thin cable would be much more preferable =======================================================================================
Headphone Amp Inventory	Musical Fidelity M1HPA - very good, like it Graham Slee Ultra Linear - forget it - NOISE EVERYWHERE ! Fiio E5 - good Fiio E6 - bad
Source Inventory	PC via USB (no soundcard) - B&W MM1 - LOVE IT !!!!!!! Klipsch Promedia 4.1 - not bad but MM1 miles ahead. Sansa Fuze V2 - positive aspects: NO touchscreen, I hate all touchscreen in the world
Cable Inventory	Audioquest Carbon USB 0,75m - recommend it - very good
Other Audio Equipment	Klipsch RB-75 loudspeaker - not perfect for music but outstanding with movies Unison Research Simply Two Stereo Tube Amp - sweet Focal Utopia in car with Scanspeak tweeter - nice synergy. Helix A4 and Helix A6 car amp - affordable german masterpiece Brax 1F condensator - there is still no better on the market Phase Aliante 12 Si LTD Woofer - of course sealed - best ever sub-bass in car audio industry
