Monoprice Monolith AMT Headphones
I have multiples of Monoprice M1570. Crazy cheap sales in the past, but I might have to pick up another pair of Monoprice AMT someday if the sale price goes crazy low again. . Multiples of Koss KSC75 and PortaPro and SportaPro. Portable bargain$. Two pairs of HiFiMan HE6se V2. But, one needs to...- hottyson

Hifiman HE6-SE
Yes. Like many, destroyed my headphones. Also, they use poor design choices using cheap parts like cheap potentiometers that use press on with knobs that destroy pcb when knob removed. Just horrid overall. If one owns one, I understand them sticking with it. However, if looking for a new amp, I...- hottyson

Hifiman HE6-SE
Those reading this, I highly recommend that you stay as far away from Topping headphone amplifiers as possible. I recommend almost every brand over Topping. Get something better quality than a Topping.- hottyson

Monolith M1570 Over Ear Open Back Balanced Planar Headphones
What I mean, is that your statement, "FR is in fact the most useful measurement," is a blanket statement that does not apply to me, nor to most all of my headphones. A careless assumption made entirely inaccurate when describing my experience, in which I have rarely, almost never, valued...- hottyson

To some, such as me, with most headphones, frequency response is far from the most useful measurement.- hottyson

Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!
Like I stated, I use my Singxer SA-1 almost daily and there are many good reasons why I do so. You have a wonderful amplifier with the SA-1 already. No need to go down the expensive rabbit hole of amplifier second guessing/swapping when you already own the SA-1. It DOES pair extremely well with...- hottyson

Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!
For listeners of HiFiMan HE6se v2 searching for a versatile amplifier, the $600 Singxer SA-1 can fulfill this purpose with compromise at the $600 expenditure that some can live happily with. Instead, I suggest those same listeners of HiFiMan HE6se v2 searching for a versatile amplifier...- hottyson

Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!
Oh YES! I still LOVE my Rebel Audio RebelAmp! Absolutely amaze-balls when paired with planar magnetic headphones. It will forever be in my collection for planar headphone listening.

Singxer SA-1 / Balanced Amplifier Fully Discrete Class A - beyond THX 888 ?!
I have commented before on this, but when there are over 2,500 posts in this thread, I feel obligated to steer people away from the Singxer SA-1 headphone amplifier for driving HiFiMan HE6se v2 headphones. Out of my large collection of amplifiers, the Singxer SA-1 falls into the category of not...- hottyson

Oh, and I forgot to mention that all of my HeadAmp headphone amplifiers including the GS-X Mini produce a presentation that has pronounced brightness in relative comparison to other brands of amplifiers. This can sometimes be a positive characteristic to some headphones. The RebelAmp amplifier...- hottyson

Rebel Amp
I own both the Rebel Audio RebelAmp and the HeadAmp GS-X Mini. They sound absolutely nothing alike. My RebelAmp pairs slightly better with my planar magnetic headphones to my ears over the GS-X Mini. The GS-X Mini pairs capably with all planar magnetic AND all dynamic driver headphones. The GS-X...- hottyson

For instance here are some of the headphones that the SA-1 seemed lacking in comparison to the Jotunheim 2; ZMF Aeolus - SA-1 lacked bite in the treble Hifiman HE6se V2 - SA-1 comparatively muffled, stifled sound stage, less dynamic Audeze LCD-X 2021 - SA-1 holographic characteristics of...- hottyson

That is great that you found something that works for your setup. .

Monoprice Monolith AMT Headphones
Monoprice AMT headphones react differently to each amplifier. While more power yields more control and thus improved sound I was pleasantly surprised to find some of my poor performing amplifiers that are powerful to work very well for the money. Specifically the SMSL SP200 which usually...- hottyson

Monoprice Monolith AMT Headphones
Personally, I have set a spending cap on each item I purchase at $1,200. The likelihood of I ever purchasing HEDD HEDDphones below that limit is slim but perhaps an open box may appear one day. If you have the cash and don't mind spending it, go for HEDD HEDDphones. Lots of good reviews with...- hottyson

Impressions | aune AR5000 Full-Size Open Headphones with MLD Driver
The video conveys the ideals and history behind Aune and the AR5000 headphone. I am intrigued by the headband design and the driver technology. This headphone has the potential to seriously contend against other headphones. I am excited to listen to the Aune AR5000.- hottyson

I may get the funds together for a Sennheiser HD800S or Meze Audio 109 PRO this coming summer, or possibly both. Also, I shall have completed my set of college courses by summer. So... I would be happy to throw this together around June and produce some comparisons around July.- hottyson

Helpful tip for those new to HeSuVi; Each time you select a new headphone HeSuVi, make certain to press the "Get Suggestion" button This will attenuate the equalisation low enough to avoid distortion.- hottyson

What I use is the Gold Planar GL850 preset in HeSuVi. It may be the same or similar to equalisation that you are using as they are both from AutoEq data. .
