the ergo 2 sounds really tempting, maybe my ps2s need another float to keep it company

That was the Ergo 2 connected to the front.
The AMT was (as should be) to the rear. It was the Ergo Amp 1 indeed.
It was a clearskin (via ebay from a Hong Kong dealer.)

I found the clarity and the comfort really impressive. Found some information on a swiss website but wasn't able to discover which amp it was, that we used on the meet - was it the Ergo Amp 1? I think round about € 550,00 for the headphone and the amp is a great price. Another question ... there was in Ipod connected to the Ergo and that Ipod was packed into a "skin" - does anyone no which one? |

For some reason, I can't seem to let go of the idea of a balanced Ergo 2... This is not good.

Hirsch has a balanced set. He's always been slightly non-commital about how he feels about them. I bought my AMT from him.
With the AMT and the Ergo 2 connected to the Amp 1, theres a notable performance drop in the Ergo 2 because the AMT sucks up all of the available power. For those thinking of going AMT, I would, now, with the more experience I've gathered since I wrote my review of the combo say that a good speaker amp is far far better.
The Ergo 2 really is good though, it was at the Scotland meet a few weeks back when I got the chance to listen to some dynamic headphones again I remembered how much I liked them, and how I like them more than the HD650.

Thank you, Hans, for answering my questions.
I have another question for you and Duggeh or anybody else who can share his experience). If I decide to go the Ergo-route is it advisable also to buy an Ergo Amp 1 or would it be better to buy another amp (I already have a Glite and was also thinking about something tubey)?
How does this amp work together with other headphones or is there a special magic between the Ergo 2 and the Ergo amp?

The Ergo Amp 1 is equalised through the AMT socket for the AMT headphone (but this doesnt compensate enough for its lack of power).
Pinkfloyd likes the Amp1 quite a lot with the Ergo 2, HD600 and HD414. He has modded his a little though. The regular headphone socket doesn't have the EQ, at least I never noticed it there. It matches well with the Ergo 2, but the Heed Canamp or better would be a step up. The Amp 1 matches poorly with Grados. Fair amount of hiss.
It's been a fair while since I've had mine. More than a year. It has adjustable gain via dials on the back I should add.

That's an astonishing price for such a beautiful headphone. I thought they would be way more expensive! Of course you need an amp to par with them but still...
