100+ Head-Fier
I've tried both HEDDphone and 1266 Phi TC, neither is a good pairing. Can't speak to any of the Dianas.has anyone tried the heddphone or abyss on this amp.
There's enough power for the HEDDphone with high-gain and multiplier on, but it's simply not a good pairing. The strengths of the HEDDphone (speed, detail, non-bass urgency/impact) are dampened by the FV. And the HEDDphone can't express the FV's strengths (staging and a sense of presence).
There's simply not enough power for the 1266 Phi TC and it sounds lifeless and small.
The headphones most elevated by the Folkvangr, in my testing and opinion, are the DCA Aeon 2 Noires. HD800S are also an excellent pairing, just not as elevated.
