Until recently I have been using a full audiophile system: Naim CD2 player, Quatum Minstrel Amp, Ruark Equinox Speakers.
I am now in a position where I can no longer accomodate these speakers and will have to go down the headphone only route.
I already own an ORIGINAL Earmax Valve Headphone Amp (Flinstone Model), which has seen virtually no use since new. When I have used it it has been with the Naim CD2 and a pair of Beyer DT531's.
This has never been a primary method of listening for me and as such the quality had only to be reasonable, not excellent (hence the DT531's).
Quality is now going to be paramount and as such I am interested in knowing whether the original Earmax amp will work well with Grado RS-1's.
Does anyone have any experience of this combination, or the technical knowledge to advise if this will be a good pairing?
Senn 650's don't do it for me.
