I added the Mirus to my ATC rig on friday. This is the best sound I've ever had. I can't imagine the technical measurements any future source would have to have to get me to upgrade. This might be it for me. Big fan of the SDXC card compatibility, so simple and elegant.

HD650 was the basil, HD800 the paprika. Final seasoning to price in is new Sennheiser saffron, heaviest in weight and price. Intensity heay cuisine. Rich.

Haven't read this entire thread (...) but Amazon shows the ER4S as discontinued. FYI.

Heh.  Yep.  A more full-range sound :)

  Its auralex room treatments, and skyline diffusors.  The skylines need to be moved up now that I have larger speakers, but I didn't make any adjustments to the wall yet. I wanted a good absorption panel on part of the front wall to reduce echo, and decided just to use some Venus Bass Traps*...

cranking some collective soul on a snow day.   Apex + ATC = heaven

I finally bought a commercial rack.  Its not off-the-charts expensive, but I believe it to be high end. Its the hyper spike HS4 from SolidSteel.   It uses MDF shelves, but there is a rubberized compound paint on the top and some sort of polished paint on the bottom. I also have a diy...

I like this one.  They build it around your exact gear.   http://www.silentrunningaudio.com/products/scuttle.htm http://www.theaudiobeat.com/equipment/silent_running_audio_craz2.htm     http://www.silentrunningaudio.com/images/Scuttle_Closeup.jpg

Quote:   pppfffttt.   I can assure everyone the Pinnacle has no problem with bass.  Its texture is great and its porportion is great. I hear great separation and articulation w/ my LCD2 but detected no smear.  That doesnt even make sense.   Today I dug out my old unbalanced...

I plan on running mine with $14k ATC active speakers (not purchased yet).  Just a pair of XLR cables and we're off to the races.

I own the Pinnacle.  I run it with a pair of LCD2.  One of the earlier versions w/ foam headband.   I have owned and extensively heard the Ear HP4 and a B22 I purchased from a fellow Headfier (n_maher).     All 3 amps are fantastic.     One of them is much more expensive than the...

Terrific review.

Congrats, InnerSpace.     I hope to join you as soon as financials allow in rank.

The wood panels were pretty awesome in a throwback kind of way.  But I'd assume an all metal housing like the Pinnacle would dissipate heat more evenly.  I love both.

My headphone rig in its last high-end state, before I sold parts to cover closing costs on a house.   Furman surge protector > Sony XA5400ES > EAR HP4 > HD650   Best sound I've owned/heard thus far (which is admittedly rather limited in scope) Everything sounded great on it if it was a...

  Quote:   Bad judgment?  Boxes are inferior for shipping things now?  If horrible packaging causes this much of a stir then Newegg and Amazon must have god on their side.   Besides, what does the orientation of the packing material matter when they use x rays?

The Aardvark.   In conceptual stage only at this time.
