Hello, I am a happy owner of a monolith liquid platinum by alex cavalli and I wanted to get another amplifier with the sound as close as possible, because the volume protection that the platinum has annoys me, because my audeze lcd-2c turns me off just when I reach the volume that makes them get their impact listening electronic music.
Has anyone tried another amplifier as similar as possible to the monolith liquid platinum that can recommend me?

•. The Monolith LP Cavalli is a hybrid (tube/SS) headphone amplifier. The ‘closest’ that I can think of is the Schiit Audio Lyr 3 - a hybrid which uses one tube: a 6SN7.
• The sound of the Lyr 3 (and of the LP) can be altered by the choice of tube. I have experienced absolutely no problems with sound cutoff. I have owned a Lyr 3 for almost a year. Highly recommended! Picture below:
The truth is that the Lyr 3 looks good, the only problem I see is that it does not have XLR balanced output for headphones, and the audeze LCD-2C without the balanced cable look like other headphones, they sound bad.

Ponder this: a well designed single-end headphone amplifier will outperform a flawed ‘balanced’ headphone amplifier. Balanced configuration is not a panacea.
