So over the past week, I have been listening to a special amp on loan from Ampsandsound, their Stereo 15. Now I know what some of you may say: "wait that is a speaker amp...", and you are right, but it is a very quiet push pull speaker amp, capable of 15 watts into 8ohms, making it a good match power wise for the lovely Hifiman Susvara and other low efficiency headphones.
How does it sound...well to be honest really darn good. Justin was able to add a quarter inch headphone jack next to the speaker taps connected to the 8ohm taps. Dynamics, tone, and bass are excellent. Highs are nicely extended and the Ampandsound house sound is in full swing. For those with lower efficiency headphones (likely sub 95db), and have a pre-amp, or a DAC with volume control, the Stereo 15 is worth considering, if I did not have something else coming form Ampsandsound the Stereo 15 would be staying in my home instead of going back to Southern California.
