for me gcha with rs1 is too bright sometimes force me to turn the volume down.

Personally, I'm a bit partial to tubes with RS-1's. In the $600-$700 price range, you can't go wrong with Mapletree Audio's EAR+ HD. Sure, it's a bit vintage looking, and I may be biased in my recommendation, but somehow Grado cans consistently synergize well with the unit.

I've had one of Whiplash Audio MMM's for about a week now and am really impressed with it, especially in light of the price. He should have some info up on his web page soon, I think.

I don't have the GS-1000's (I have a set on back-order...argh), but I have tried the MMM with my ED9's, HD-600's, HD-650's, AHD-2000's and my DT-990's. It sounded good with all of them and really sounds nice with the ED9's especially.

All in all, a very impressive amp for the price. Will it make me give up my Trafomatic or my GCPH? No. But, for $399 it's a contender, that's for sure.

My $.02.

Peace,

Lee

Disclaimer--I do help Craig at Whiplash Audio out with cryo and wire, however, I have nothing to do with his current amp offerings and receive no remuneration from him if one sells due to my recommendation.

How about this:

No relation to seller but I've read good things about a SOHA and Grados. Hopefully someone who knows more can comment.
