I like picking up the 2C when i want a smooth sound with strong clean bass. I'm usually doing other things like working / reading while listening through the 2C.. changed to the CF headband to make the weight and weight distribution a bit more tolerable for longer sessions. Warm smooth sound goes well with pretty much all of my DACs and Amps, i like that kinda thing...
When i'm in the mood to actively listen to stuff, I generally use the Elex on either the LP or my Cayin tube amp. My Quad ERA-1 should be arriving in the next few days, will see how that goes. Verite & Glenn OTL orders placed, something to look forward to next year
