Hi everyone—
I'm really enjoying my Momentum—what a great sealed phone!—and while I enjoy the clear sound of the JDS Labs C421 (OPA2227), I'm finding that the sound is steelier than I'd like. Also, there is a lot of grain.
Can someone recommend a resolving yet warmer sounding portable amp, hopefully with a less grainy sound? I'm willing to spend more, and love tubes, but I've heard the ALO Continental isn't a great match with the ultra-low impedance, 18 ohm Momentum. Would love to hear from those who've actually listened to the combos.
Thanks,
Alex
