This is probably a rather silly question, but here I go...
I got one of those LD MKIII amps purely for aesthetic reasons, I know that my equipment doesn't justify the purchase. I just love the looks of a glowing tube amp in my room.
My only good headphone (as of now) is a pair of UE Triple.fis. When I tried them with the amp I frankly couldn't hear anything special (e.g. the tube-characteristic sound they all speak about). It sounded great, but not really that much different than if I was using the source directly (analog out of a squeezebox3).
Now, my explanation is this: Since those Triple.fis are very sensitive, there isn't that much work the MKIII can do here. Would you agree that an amp like this only shines through full sized cans?
Thanks for any enlightenment.
