Well, speaking of irony, I have enjoyed my He1000SE so much that it has got me dreaming of upgrading to a Susvara, and yet, in some ways, I am staying my hand, because I dread the prospect of having to search desperately for a matching amp (within my budgetary limits) for the Susvara once I get to own it. Once upon a time, i had to sell my otherwise beloved He-6, after trying different amps with it--none of which was deemed to be "optimal," according to popular or expert opinion on head-fi, even when some of them sounded perfectly fine to me. The very idea of having to wonder whether each successive amp I tried with the He-6 was the optimal best, eventually became a distraction from the music, whenever I was using the he-6, so i wound up selling it.
On one level, it sounds rather lame to resist getting a great headphone for fear of becoming impotently obsessed afterwards with finding an optimal matching amp, but I can't forget that one of the main reasons why I can enjoy in peace the cans I currently have--such as the He-1000SE, the Audeze LCD-4, the LCDi4, or even the Hifiman he-500-- is that i never have to think twice about their performance in relation to the amps I am pairing them with... I am reluctant to trade that for the Susvara, which I fear, will repeat my experience with the he-6 all over again...
That is why I find myself often dreaming about owning a Susvara, while also doing everything in my power to dissuade myself from actually buying one... This is a rather awkward situation to be in, if you ask me... but then again, it is one among other "audiophile" ironies, which I am currently experiencing, and which I thought it would be fun to share.
