Also darkvoice 336? Is that decent and better than the Lil dot? I wonder how synergy is with t1.2
I have LD2/2 and again it's a great amp for it's price. I think I saw it at less than £100 somewhere!
Feliks-Audio Elise is wonderful with T1, but it's a lot more expensive. As you say all very subjective.
A Cam-Jam is the best way to try these all out if they are available. I may be able to get to MK, but I'm almost certainly going to London in July.
The MK meet is not a canjam as such, more of a traditional enthusiast get together. Check out the thread in my sig, There will be a quiet room for auditioning gear as well, should be a good meet.
For unbalanced use:
TRS jacks on the headphone side it's: tip=signal, ring=ground, shaft=screen.
For balanced use:
TRS jacks on the headphone side it's: tip=signal plus, ring=signal minus, shaft=screen.
Ha!! There is always something "different"....but not always "better".....
I just got a Schitt Vahalla 2 to try with my new T1's 2nd gen...
I have a Bottlehead Crack (w/speedball) and it does work well with these T1's (and my T90s..but not so well with my DT1350's, 80 ohm).
I looked for an affordable amp that had the most amount of power available at the higher impedances, the Vahalla 2 fits this bill very nicely.
Most amps are looking at megawatts at the lower impedances now....dsp's, cell phones etc...but the V2 has 800mw RMS at 300 ohms and about half that at 600 ohms.
With the Bottlehead you have to turn the volume up 3/4 or so whereas the V2 is only cranked up to 1/3....now the V2 has two gain settings and two output impedances associated here as well.
After the amp is warmed up (an hour or so) there is the magical holographic experience most of us look for....this is on high gain. WIth well recorded material its indeed reallt, really good...compared to other good headphones, the T1's t me are right up there with the best of them.
The Bottlehead and V2 are both OTL different designs for sure, and the presentation is indeed different. the BH is a wonderful musical presentation but is a bit recessed compared to the V2. The V2 its like your in the front row seat and the BH your 10 roes back IMO.
Depending on the music they both are really great.
One of the good side affects of the V2 is the DT1350s on low gain work very, very well with this amp....amazingly good.
So if your looking for the T1's, and don't do DIY (Bottlehead) the V2 is indeed a great match that will make you appreciate your T1's!!
