Rhamnetin replied to the thread Stax SR-X9000.Hopefully I can hear them next year out of sheer curiosity. Those are deliberately softened so to speak, the SR-009 is probably more...

Rhamnetin replied to the thread The Stax Thread III.I don't think you're particularly biased based on this, the SR-007 is hard to drive and even a KGSS holds it back considerably compared...

Rhamnetin replied to the thread Desktop Amp recommendation for Sennheiser HD650s with a PeachTree DAC-ITx.Another vote for the Bottlehead Crack. If you don't want to assemble it and can't find a used one then I'd go with the Schiit Valhalla.
