Headphone Inventory

Aude'ze LCD2 rev1, Etymotic ER4P.

Had: a lot, but the most remarkable were Stax Omega 2, SR-X MkIII Pro (monitor, lacking mid/upper bass; lacking upper treble resolution; otherwise neutral, lovely forward midrange; uncomfortable), Stax SR-003/S-001 MkII (more balanced when tips are fitting in ear deeply and without the headband. Audiocats-modded SRM-001 amps are their best match), JH13 (a bit of midbass tilt that doesn't bother me; neutral, too polite midrange unless proper system matching is done, slightly metallic treble but very detailed, small soundstage), Apuresound ER4P (aggressive, energic, very forward but still bass light).

Headphone Amp Inventory

CURRENT:
Meitner MTR-101, Meitner PA-6i, CK2III

PAST:
Stax SRM-717, Stax SRM-001 with SFC++ mods (by Audiocats, Vitq caps) and less unique stuff.
MisterX Mini^3 and less interesting portable amps.
