Yeah I dont like these very low impedence canal phones. Most of the amps Ive tried have horid S/N performance at 16 ohm loads. My PA2 is the only one Ive found that sounds decent at that impedence. And even then, with the gain knob above ~ 65% the noise is not acceptable... depending on the program material of course.
So this HN060 at 75 ohms looks very good on paper.
anxiously waiting for your impressions
