Also what after market cable is most synergistic?

Lots of manufacturers out there, we use hybrid stuff made by Matt of FAW and we're very pleased. But it's more important to know in which direction you'd like to go with your Susvara.

Not sure I know what you mean by which direction?

Want to improve overall SQ, microdetail retrieval, tame any treble sibilants, more impactful bass response, largest possible sound stage, accurate pls enemy of instruments etc.

Silver and copper do different things to headphones and those evenly sounding such as Susvara tend to show this rather well.

My vote goes to Norne Audio All Silver balanced. No downsides at all, and detail is amazing. I use them on my LCD4s but have heard then on the Susvara as well.

Have you listen to the Susvara on your Aries Cerat system? I expect it would sound amazing and in many ways even better than with the LCD4.

Not yet. I have a Genus and Kassandra at Munich High End this next week, with the Focal Utopia and some others. Not the Susvara yet. It drives the LCD4 so well, just ticking over, I am convinced it will be superb with the Susvara, or the Abyss Phi as well.

Anyone going to Munich High End, check out the Aries Cerat Room!

Maybe someone that is going to Munich High End will bring their Susvara, HE1000se or Abyss Phi so you can test.

Yep, definitely on the right track.
Sonic character matching is the subjective portion of this hobby. We all have different ears and preferences. I can't give a universal amp recommendation the Susvara.
I like the 700i with it , but i still wont say its for everyone.

Hi, I have read carefully about every your posts here. And I decided to look for a right speaker amp(instead of a head amp) for my susvara, I really need some detail suggestions.

Can you describe your exact feelings about how well does the simaudio 700i carry the susvara(compare to ec studio, or some standard amps like pass int 150)?

highly apprieciate your help!

Well, I've got a new speaker amp coming in this week to try with the Susvara. I hope it goes well A black Kinki Studio EX-M1. 200W into 8 ohms, 400w into 4 ohms. Will report back this Friday!

I will. Your room is on my list.

Cool. Bring your headphones guys, and lets have a serious head session!

I look forward to see what cans will you use in your booth. I'm certainly not taking my Susvara with me, I won't risk it

Matt, don't forget to visit us!

After dig into some speaker amp reviews, I found these amps would probably fit susvara (and going to choose one of them):

Accustic Arts Power I MK4 (135W@8Ω)
Nagra Classic INT (100W@8Ω)
Simaudio Moon 600i V2 / 700i V2 (135 / 175W@8Ω)
PassLabs INT 150 / 30A (150W@8Ω)

Since these amps are quite expensive and it's almost impossible to A/B test both of them at same time, can any guru kindly provide some suggestions ?

I was curious on the Susvara, i was wondering if the Massdrop THX 789 is enough for this beast? (Don't lynch me please)
