Great buyer, easy communication, highly recommend!

I don't have personal experience with this gear, but since all your headphones are planars based on everything I've read I think Ferrum Oor + Hypsos would be a good alternative to the Holo Bliss since its specialty is driving planars. Then for DAC there's the Ferrum Wandla but that's also an ESS...

I think I'll rule out Pietus Maximus since I do like having the options of either 10 or 100 ohm OI on the iHA-6. With that said, has anyone ever compared iHA-6 to A20?

Thanks so much! This is probably tough to answer given that I'm sure it will change depending on pad choice and other factors, but between the GH1, RS1x, RS1 button, and PS2000e, which would you say has the most macrodynamics/impact? And if you listen to any music where electric guitar is the...

On a related note, would love to know more about how the GH series headphones compare to this generation's RS series or even something like the PS2000e (seeing @YtseJamer 's post about an upcoming PS2000x-ish release has me very intrigued so I'm trying to get a sense of whether that would be the...

I'm very new to Grado but as others have said, I'd also recommend starting with the 225x or 325x. I got the 225x and decided pretty quickly that I was a big fan of it with the indie rock, post-rock, post-metal, black metal, 90s death metal, etc that I often listen to. I wanted to move up the...

No noise issues on the iHA-6 with my ZMFs or with my lower impedance and higher sensitivity Grado GH1! I am curious about the new iHA-8 but it looks like it doesn't have any high output impedance outputs so maybe it wouldn't necessarily be an upgrade from the iHA-6 for high impedance headphones

Another really helpful post, thanks so much. I agree that there's a bit of a quality/price imbalance between the amps and DACs I'm looking at. It's tricky because I move around and transport my system somewhat frequently so I want amps and DACs that are solid state with relatively small...

Thanks so much, this sounds promising! I'm considering replacing my iHA-6 with a Pietus Maximus which only has SE inputs, but I'm still very interested in the Cyan 2. Since my dac1421 is SE only that would be a good option to stick with, but if anyone is able to compare the Cyan 2 via its RCA...

Sorry if this has already been mentioned somewhere in the thread, but would I be leaving sound quality on the table by using the SE outputs rather than balanced, or does the Cyan 2 do a better job than most DACs in that regard?

Bit of a cross-post from the Pietus Maximus thread but I thought this might be a better place to ask: Has anyone had ears on both the Pietus Maximus and Cayin iHA-6 with the VO? Would love to hear any comparisons. iHA-6 has the higher output impedance from the SE outputs which seems beneficial...

Curious if anyone's had ears on both the Pietus Maximus and Cayin iHA-6 with ZMFs, particularly Verite Open? Would love to hear any comparisons. iHA-6 has the higher output impedance from the SE outputs which seems beneficial for something with a ton of mid-bass like the Atticus, but I'm not...

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone happen to have listening experience with both the Little Silver Fox and the DSHA-3F (or the new Nitsch version), particularly with ZMFs? Would love to read any comparisons. Also I've struggled to find specs about the physical dimensions of the...

I have Turbulent Labs headband + Nyczaj assembly on my GH1 and it's amazing! Never heard the GH2 or GH4 so I'd be curious to hear your impressions. Currently have G-cushions on my GH1. I had a bit of a preference for the F-cushions on them but I returned the 225x that I had been borrowing the...
