I heard a new prototype headphone amp from Doc. Bottlehead. This unit was made for a professional recording studio installation. Doc B had a cobalt transformer in it (a Cobalt transformer is $400.00!) 30 minutes later I heard it with a stock transformer ($5.00).
I listened with my own Sennheiser 600’s & Blue Clou Cables. Bottlehead stuff is quite nice so I was expecting it to sound good. At home most of my headphone listening is done with a Fisher 500C. My old Fisher sounds better than any headphone amp I have heard, until now. The MUSIC I head coming through Doc’s amp is in another league unlike anything I have ever heard through headphones! It just blows me away. Even with the cheap transformer the sound was awesome.
Doc. Bottlehead will be bringing out a headphone amp kit next year. The amp I heard is not the kit amp.
