Hey everyone, I had a question about amps to go with my 650's. I've had the 650's for a little while now, and I love them. I think they were worth every penny. I've been driving them with the e7/e9 combo, and while I really enjoy the sound, I feel like I'm not letting my 650's live up to their full potential. SO, I have decided to get a new amp.
I have it narrowed down to 2:
- Bottlehead Crack
or
-Lyr
I'm stongly leaning towards the crack because it's much cheaper (270) than the lyr (450). And many people rave about how it is the perfect compliment to the 650. And the building it myself seems fun. However, it's ugly as hell and many people say the lyr pairs very well with the 650 as well. Plus I worry that the crack won't be as good for future headphones down the line, as I've heard it doesn't pair up well with a lot of other cans (correct me if I'm wrong, not sure where I heard this). As for the crack's uglyness, I don't actually care that much about it. The lyr just looks so much cooler lol.
Sooooo basically, which would you pick between the 2? taking price into consideration as well
Thanks!
