Earmax Pro, X-Can V3 and Lehmann Black Cube Linear Two very good head phone amps – and a spectacular one. 1. The short version I sometimes get carried away. So if you can’t be bothered to read through all of this, here it is in a nutshell: The spectacular one is the Earmax Pro, which...

After quite a while with the SD, I agree. Refinement is a good term, but only describes part of the process. I'd say the spectrum was evened out, from a slight over emphasis of the treble to a great balance throughout. With my new triode amp (Earmax Pro) the bass is cavernous! Combined with the...
