In the 1000 - 2000 € range, what are the best IEM for classical ?

Hello all. I'm looking for a good headphone amp in the price range 2000/4000. My present setup is : HE1000 V2/Ultrasone 10/ Fostex TH900. My headamp is a Cavalli Liquid Glass. I find it nice with the TH900 and the Ultrasone 10 (which I really like, despite all the fuss), but really flat and...

I use scarcely my pair of HE 1000 V.2. When not in use, it's boxed. Nevertheless, the ear pads are peeling and falling apart. Lousy quality ear-ads for a rather expensive pair. I also have Ultrasone 10 since 4 years : sheep skin ear-ads are just perfect. Hifiman is really subpar here compared...

I wonder what would be the best choice(s) for my HE1000 V2 with authority. My Cavalli Liquid Glass is remarkable with Fostex TH900 and Ultrasone 10, but a bit short with HE1000.

Is the ALO Six vastly superior to Liquid Glass, or marginally so ? Especially for difficult cans like HE1000. And how does it compare with WA5 LE 2-nd Gen ? Looking for advice/impressions here.

Hi, I tested a Fostex HPA8C connected with an integrated amp. It's humming, so I suspect a conflict between Fostex preamp stage and integrated preamp stage. When testing the Fostex with an external preamp only, no problem. What do I miss here ?

After a few hours of listening session for a demo, comparing these two, I definitely favor the Ultrasone 10, especially for classical music. The way it differentiate voices, instruments is astonishing, and to me it's all the more astonishing to see how this can has been bashed by some here and...

What would be the best choice for HE1000 under 1500 € (apart EF6) ? With both XLR and RCA.

I had a curious experience with V4 High Amp. (www.high-amp.de) Bought it new from Andreas Rauenbuhler. When receiving it, I connected it normally to my preamp, connected my Stax SR507 brand new (bought a month ago from Stax dealer in Germany), turned it on : a loud hum in right channel. I...

Since a few weeks, I experimented several IEMS. I never listen very loud and go mostly for classical and jazz, plus a bit of World. I'm experimenting funny things in my ears since a few days, like a kind of pressure, as if sound was more distant. Before consulting a doc, I will stop IEM for...

I'm still pondering a portable amp to pair with AK100 MkII. So far, reduced my options to 627x or ALO Mark III. My music is mostly jazz, classical, and a bit of world.

Looking for a small form factor AMP/DAC (not necessarily portable). Mostly destined to listen Internet radio on Mac. What's the best combo : ALO Pan Am, Headamp PICO DAC or Cypher Labs ? Knowing Cypher Labs Theorem 720 is 192. Not forgetting Schiit Lyr/Bifrost or Burson Conductor (for a...

I listen a lot to some Internet radio stations, for instance Concertgebouw Amsterdam  Radio (outstanding concert programs never released on CD).   So my main source is my Mac and output is IEM or headphones.   From there, how could I improve the whole thing ?   ALO Rx MKIII for amp ?  ...

Among these 3, which would you favour mainly for my kind of music : - contemporary (Elliott Carter, Pierre Boulez and so on) - jazz (mainly vocals Sinatra, etc and 50's - 60's - large orchestra (Mahler, Stravinsky, etc.)   I can find all 3 for around 1000 USD.

A technical puzzle here. My Allnic H1200 unit, ex-demo. All connections properly done (quite simple), I have no sound from the left channel. It's not the preamp (when switching and plugging CD to Phono in, both channel a perfectly audible). Any idea ?

I'm still pondering a choice for this couple : headphone amp + DAC for streaming   Is Schiit offering a good solution versus SPL Auditor and a coupling with some other firm's DAC (and which) ?   Headphones are LC2 and HD800.

I'm new to IEM and look for a good pair for under 400 USD. Mostly 20-th century (from Chostakovitch to Boulez) and 1950/1960 jazz.

After much poring the subject, this is my first post here. I'm on the market to complement/replace/enlarge my Grado RS1. I mainly listen to : - 1955/1965 jazz - contemporary music (Ligeti to Morton Feldman), very demanding tones - vocal music (from Monteverdi to Sinatra)   Which...
