    Monoprice Monolith AMT Headphones

    I have multiples of Monoprice M1570. Crazy cheap sales in the past, but I might have to pick up another pair of Monoprice AMT someday if the sale price goes crazy low again. . Multiples of Koss KSC75 and PortaPro and SportaPro. Portable bargain$. Two pairs of HiFiMan HE6se V2. But, one needs to...

    Hifiman HE6-SE

    Yes. Like many, destroyed my headphones. Also, they use poor design choices using cheap parts like cheap potentiometers that use press on with knobs that destroy pcb when knob removed. Just horrid overall. If one owns one, I understand them sticking with it. However, if looking for a new amp, I...

    Hifiman HE6-SE

    Those reading this, I highly recommend that you stay as far away from Topping headphone amplifiers as possible. I recommend almost every brand over Topping. Get something better quality than a Topping.

    Monolith M1570 Over Ear Open Back Balanced Planar Headphones

    What I mean, is that your statement, "FR is in fact the most useful measurement," is a blanket statement that does not apply to me, nor to most all of my headphones. A careless assumption made entirely inaccurate when describing my experience, in which I have rarely, almost never, valued...

    Monolith M1570 Over Ear Open Back Balanced Planar Headphones

    To some, such as me, with most headphones, frequency response is far from the most useful measurement.

    Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!

    Like I stated, I use my Singxer SA-1 almost daily and there are many good reasons why I do so. You have a wonderful amplifier with the SA-1 already. No need to go down the expensive rabbit hole of amplifier second guessing/swapping when you already own the SA-1. It DOES pair extremely well with...

    Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!

    For listeners of HiFiMan HE6se v2 searching for a versatile amplifier, the $600 Singxer SA-1 can fulfill this purpose with compromise at the $600 expenditure that some can live happily with. Instead, I suggest those same listeners of HiFiMan HE6se v2 searching for a versatile amplifier...

    Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!

    Oh YES! I still LOVE my Rebel Audio RebelAmp! Absolutely amaze-balls when paired with planar magnetic headphones. It will forever be in my collection for planar headphone listening. However, for dynamic driver headphones my Singxer SA-1 other solid state headphone amplifiers will pair better...

    Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!

    I have commented before on this, but when there are over 2,500 posts in this thread, I feel obligated to steer people away from the Singxer SA-1 headphone amplifier for driving HiFiMan HE6se v2 headphones. Out of my large collection of amplifiers, the Singxer SA-1 falls into the category of not...

    Rebel Amp

    Oh, and I forgot to mention that all of my HeadAmp headphone amplifiers including the GS-X Mini produce a presentation that has pronounced brightness in relative comparison to other brands of amplifiers. This can sometimes be a positive characteristic to some headphones. The RebelAmp amplifier...

    Rebel Amp

    I own both the Rebel Audio RebelAmp and the HeadAmp GS-X Mini. They sound absolutely nothing alike. My RebelAmp pairs slightly better with my planar magnetic headphones to my ears over the GS-X Mini. The GS-X Mini pairs capably with all planar magnetic AND all dynamic driver headphones. The GS-X...

    Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!

    For instance here are some of the headphones that the SA-1 seemed lacking in comparison to the Jotunheim 2; ZMF Aeolus - SA-1 lacked bite in the treble Hifiman HE6se V2 - SA-1 comparatively muffled, stifled sound stage, less dynamic Audeze LCD-X 2021 - SA-1 holographic characteristics of...

    Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!

    I compared them both with over fifty headphones. I found that the Singxer SA-1 was better than Schiit Jotunheim 2 with some headphones. I found that the Schiit Jotunheim 2 was better than Singxer SA-1 with some headphones. . If anyone compared them on many headphones I would be shocked and...
