My M-100 and Vamp Verza.
I used to have "fully protected" rigs too, i understand why one would put such cases. Then one day i decided for them to go all "naked", they feel different of course and i can now admire the finish - made me realize what i'm missing out. But i would have to be extra careful is now the trade off.
I know. There are a few choices I may jump on. But being on disability for my arthritis keeps the purchases to a minimum. The Beats are a year old, and I blew the budget on the X3, so other things have to wait. Luckily I'm happy where I am right now.
It is the CLAP (I hate that name so I will never call it that, will stick with Picollo). So far, been using for a couple of hours and it seems really great. More than enough power to drive my V-Modas. Very quiet, just a hint of thump at turn on. Cannot detect any hiss. The staging and presentation is wide and warm. Using a closed phone limits that some but with my HD700s, it was very nice. Was on the edge of driving those properly, but that was not I why I got this. I got this for hiking and walking and needed something light and small but powerful. This is just right. Craftsmanship is excellent. Feels like a solid chunk of aluminum.
