There are also lots of good opinions/reviews which have recently started to spread out about Yin Lu Mei S2 AK4497. I am planning to buy one of them.

Has anyone compared S1 with Yin Lu Mei S2 AK4497 or Tempotec Sonata HD PRO?

Did you have a chance to try SP2000cu?

I am thinking of buying LPGT. Did you listen TH900 with LPGT? LPGT with an optimized PMEQ is said to sound exceptional.

These headphones becomes much better with power. I listened Asfar(Le Trio Joubran), which is great to test natural bass, with DX200 AMP9(korg nutube), then used DX200 just as a transport for Ifi Black. It is more airy, has bigger soundstage. I used ultrashort adapters to convert 2.5mm balanced...

Removable cables The black one is shortened stock cable. The other one is silver plated copper cable with Furutech connectors..

What would your eq settings be if you want to use it with IFI Black ?

Ifi Micro idsd Black, Ibasso Dx200 amp3(probably also amp8), Chord Hugo v1 are good matches that I have tried. The ones I do not recommend are Chord Mojo and Cayin N5ii.

I have been using a custom made ultrashort adapter that I bought from my local dealer. https://doublehelixcables.com/product/eidolic-2-5mm-trrs-3-5mm-trs-adapter/ and...

I also use this case that I bought from Amazon. It is great and reliable. If it were a little little bit larger, it would be perfect . With cables attached to it, th900 mk2 hardly fits in it. But it is ok.

I am happy with the 2.5mm connection and have not lost any connection till now for about 2 years. 3.5mm ultrashort adapter and 2.5mm female to 4.4mm male ultrashort adapters are the most common ones I generally use. If you have a good ultrashort high quality 3.5mm unbalanced adapter, there is no...

For mobile usage, 2.5mm balanced with a ultrashort 3.5mm adapter would be ideal for both balanced and unbalanced DAPs etc. I have 130cm original Fostex unbalanced cable(shortened) terminated with eidolic connector , a balanced 2.5mm 120cm 7N occ pure copper cable and another balanced 2.5mm 130cm...

Th900 MK2, Dekoni Fenestrated sheepskin pads(recommended upgrade), silver-plated copper balanced cable with FT-2PS-F Furutech Connectors for Fostex, short balanced pure copper cable with standard Fostex connectors(bought from China) and Eidolic 2.5mm jack, its own cable(length=1.20m shortened...

I have been using Dekoni Fenestrated Sheepskin TH900 pads for a while. They are very comfortable and tames the highs a little bit. I highly recommend them for TH900.

I have 7N OCC Balanced copper cable terminated with sennheiser hd600 series plugs. I ordered Furutech FT-2PS-F connector which is said to be specially tuned for Fostex with a better fit. I am thinking of upgrading the pure copper cable with silver plated copper for wider soundstage with better...
