  Anyone pairing PM-1 with dekstop tube amp here?

Sounds unbelievable with a Feliks Audio Elise here, though a bit underpowered for my tastes, I have to turn the volume to 2:00 to get my preferred level.

Crowd Wisdom?


So, fellow addicts, what would you do if you suddenly found your headphone cupboard bare and had $2,000 lying around to replenish it with one solid setup?

- PM-1 and HA-1
- PM-2 with pad upgrade and HA-1
- HD800 with existing LDMKIV and Objective 2 amps

Existing sources: CA DacMagic, Onkyo C-5VL SACD player, Marantz CD5004, IOS devices streaming Apple Music

Sticking to this list, I'd go with ...

- PM-2 with pad upgrade and HA-1

(i own the PM-1, HA-1 and HD800, of the gear considered.)

Definitely a sweet sounding headphone and there are a few reasons for thread being quiet; 1st, we've all been told that the PM-2 is just as good and with the price difference most are going to go for that. 2nd, lots of complaints about the soundstage which I don't agree with. 3rd, very few are breaking and when you don't have qc issues no reason to come on forums because you're busy enjoying your music

Hi - I've been using my Oppo PM-1's with the Centrance Hi Fi M8 and recently got the Centrance HiFi Skyn - both of which I like a lot.
 
But I'm curious to know how this sounds with the Chord Mojo. Any thoughts or impressions? Is the CHord mojo a worthy investment / upgrade vs. the CEntrance HiFi M8 or Hi FI Skyn?

I don't have the Entrance M8 but the Mojo is a beast with pretty much anything.

Maybe not the best but most lovely headphone instead

 
Have PM-1 since June 2014, and still my most reliable full size till now. (Comfort to use, pleasing and non fatigue sound, built like a tank)

Heheh the third one is spot on.

I used to have PM-1 and M8 combo for around a year. Nice sound there. But mojo is clearly a step up in overall SQ (well, maybe 2-3 step actually), and I like Mojo even more than Hugo for PM-1 (more musical and full body sound), I like it with foam latex pad. Have tried sooo many set up, but PM-1 + Mojo is still my daily set up that I can listen everyday and always bring smile everytime I hear them singing,

oppo pm1 is the only full size headphone i tried and i can not even pinpoint one negative thing about it, its simply to me the best I heard
 
and i heard alot of totl headphones

 

[mike7898]

This is most action i seen in a while. Keep it going. Miss hearing impression about the PM-1. I love mines! They amazed me every time I listening to them. Simply the best!

Wow - that good huh! Well, I'm sold ... and in case I haven't bought a new toy in a while I'm going to go and try out the Chord Mojo with the PM-1 soon and hopefully I'll come home with a new toy!!

Mojo highlights the details especially the highs - you won't miss them. My secondary listening rig is Mojo>Lyr 2>PM-2. If PM-1 sounds like PM-2 as may say, then this is a good combo. I haven't heard PM-2 this good.

I just received AKG K712, which most people don't find fatiguing, but something in the mids or highs does cause fatigue to me.
 
The Sennheiser HD650's for example does not fatigue me at all (also not on louder volumes).
 
Can the Oppo PM-1 be considered more detailed as the HD650 while being just as non-fatiguing?
