Thanks! It's become my endgame* set-up, exactly what I wanted out of my gear. Unfortunately, Zeus there doesn't seem to like the LCD-5. :wink:
Give Zeus an Olympus camera to sling over his shoulder; that should appease him 🤣.

Then it would be my wife aiming the lightning bolt. :laughing:

The Susvara really need some current to shine through the speaker taps.

Was chilling out listening to some dark classical (Peter Gundry) on my open SW modded HD58x and wife starts to vacuum about in the studio no less..... So with a quick switch I thought I'd run with some Pink-Floyd on my SW modded closed back HD58x - cable SW copper anaconda (BAL) - SMSL stack (SU-9/SP 400 BAL)....

Turn it up 'n "It's all good" ....... Good times :metal:

Was this ....

You're really making some awfully handsome cables, @Silver Wolf

I've got a best friend in NZ. I'll have to see about him smuggling some of your cables if I can get him to come back to Prague :wink:

Definitely my most versatile combo as desktop (with a proper DC input) and "on the way" system .. I just get an incredibly airy headphone for a closed headphone and, of course, really deep and clear ultra low frequencies for a closed headphone !!!
I love this combo.

Love the ambience, if only my working desk has this view, I can stop going cafe outside

That is a great photo!
That is a great looking GS 3000 Grado.

I have been thinking about grabbing a Grado for some portable listening on my porch.
It would be a change from listening to my IEM's. The wonderful thing about the Grado is that it is easily powered. It is also a very transparent sound.

I think, though basically it is quite easy to be powered, it can be improved with some rather powerful amplification to be able to apply some Parametric EQ in ultra low frequencies around 25hz .... if we increase by 7Db those frequencies, we have to avoid some distortion by lowering by 7Bd to pre amp volume.
I know that it's not absolutely necessary to do this, but it's pleasant to have a rather transparent sound with a bit more low frequencies with the GS3000e.
