It does make the Raals very warm and smooth with added body and bass. It's nice and fun but not really reference

Do you mean the Caldera Open? I have that one as well

That part actually just is a "copy/paste" out of my review :thinking:

So this happened today Now I just need more time to listen to both...

I agree, The VM-1a, PDA-1b and Armageddon all sound excellent. I do find the Armageddon a bit too powerful though for normal to drive headphones

From all the amps I have tried so far, the 300b is the best match so far. yes indeed. Both are pictured here: https://www.head-fi.org/posts/18089052

Is that with the Hifiman adapter by any chance?

If all goes well, the Immanis should be here next week to join the party!

3.5 stereo and female 4-pin XLR

Having some RAAL fun with the Armageddon 😁 I have been mainly focusing on the Armageddon today, with some good recordings from Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Roger Waters. Work was boring but at least my ears were happy :-)

The experience is very different, so I find this very normal. I still like the SR-1b myself, even with the Magna being here No single headphone is perfect guys, never forget that. On top of that we all like to hear different things, so 1 headphone can't be liked by everyone. That said...

This reminds me I need to hook it up to the Envy today!

Auris 300B if you don't mind using tubes

Not sure what you mean. The interface needs to be used with the Armageddon amp as well (+ compensation barrels), so there isn't really a "how Armageddon compares", as the interface always is needed. Atm I have 1 TI-1b interface (of the SR-1b) and one new interface of the Magna. I don't think...

No no, but I do live in the middle of nowhere. So there's no sound pollution

I can hear my Magna 2 rooms away...

Just fired it up with the Magni. So far I only tried the DCA E3 (good) and the Austrian Composer (not good)

It's alive! I'll also be listening to it today on this very new Auris 300b

Basically everything I ever reviewed, and more. Any special requests?

Armageddon was just delivered, can't wait to get back to the HQ later today (RAAL Magna also is there)> Yay!

Onyx in the not so wild :D

Just rolled in some NOS RFT and Sylvania tubes in the Aegis. I'm pretty happy so far, but still many headphones to test it with

I don't know about that, but I do know the Magna and Armageddon will be with me this week. Yay!

That probably was me :D
