"Enjoyable" depdends on own taste and prefences as always, if you look for natural, flat and balanced sound signature go for the stax SR-002, if you want more colored, stronger, "impressive" sound signature with huge stage go for the most TOTL multi driver IEM/CIEM. Thats why I love i.e. my Harmony 8.2 compared to the Stax, both really great complementary pieces with it's own strenghts.

That cracked me up!

That's still to be appreciated, I've never heard an electrostatic rig before.

How much is all that in current prices?


The SRS-002 is new to me and got it for 40k yen at yodobashi.


is that a Sony Walkman NW-HD5?


Yes, I'm stuck with this Walkman as I'm still confused with the new A30 if I can do the line out via wm port. Too bad it doesn't have the 3.5mm jack headphone/line out like the HD5.

I was having a tidy up and found my old 3rd gen iPod, so charged it (battery working fine!) and loaded it up with some ALAC files. Paired it with an old mudorf silver LOD and my neglected C&C BH2 amp, then plugged in the X1's. I've not tried this little setup before but was blown away when I used the SF (cross feed) switch on the amp. Fantastic soundstage. Just wasted a couple of hours going through some old tracks

With my new HD6XX to enjoy, it speaks volumes that I'm sitting here at home, listening to the 64Audio U12 and Astell&Kern AK120ii.

I'm not saying they're honestly better than my HD6XX, let alone the LCD-2. But they are soooooooooo good. Sometimes I'll go for them, even when I'm home and at my desktop, where all the big equipment sits.

Yeah. I pull out that BH2 amp often. It's like a vintage GTO. Lots of power and a deep, thunderous sound you just don't hear much anymore. :)

At the price you paid for the U12, I hope they're better than headphones you paid a couple hundred bucks for :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

My experience is you pay a LOT more on IEMs to get even close to the sound quality of a good mid-fi pair of full-size cans. Physics doesn't care much for our financial concerns. :)
