Still trying to make an educated decision here.

Doing my homework on the different amp philosophies.
The Headamp GS-1, http://www.headamp.com/home_amps/gs1/
I assume it is derived from here? http://www.headwize.com/projects/sho...lmore3_prj.htm
The CEC HD53 http://www.headphoneclub.net/pages/images/hd53.html pricked my interest awhile back, it’s now the HD53Rwith differences shown here with translation

Both the GS-1 and HD53R are discrete Class A from what I understand, so I’ll try to concentrate on those two for the time being.
The Gilmore has been well received here on the forums so I can take sort of take a decision from there and the HD53 I will be able to audition next week.
The Lehmann looks good also, although it is opamp based on the input stage but discrete Class A on the output stage.
I’ll continue to do my research but it all comes down to sound and the ability to drive AKG’s to Grado’s.
