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.

Yeah, they benefit from some current, but still sound good even driven by a very cheap dap

Nothing Summit-Fi but gives me different flavors and gets the job done.

LCD-X 2021, HD8XX, Atticus --> Bifrost 2, Jotunheim 2
HD-6xx - Bifrost 2, Darkvoice SE
HE-6se V2 - Emotiva BasX A2mini (jumpers installed, 8 Watts or more into 50 ohms)
Pair of basic monitors and a sub from the preamp out of the Jotunheim 2 for fun / big stage + bass

watched a movie with the seen 600. so much detail to hear in movies. a great listening experience20220529_211824_HDR.jpg
I love to watch movies with my HD 800s. My only issue is when I watch them with spanish translation, because in some films (especially in the oldish ones) you can notice the translation embeded, for example is very noticiable in 1979's Alien.

I remember to play Bioshock with the HD 800s and I could notice the distorsion in the sound (like a walkie-talkie) when a NPC starts a dialogue... Was so annoying to play the game like that (maybe that only occurs in the spanish translation).

Using speaker amps really opened up a new realm for the Susvara. SoulNote A2 dishing out tones of power. And dCS Rossini Apex upgrade kit will arrive by mid June. Extremely excited.

• Inaugural run-through with the Quicksilver Audio h/p/a. Genalex/Gold Lion (cryo treated) EL84s & 12AX7s; Senn HD6XX (rear foam removed, inner foam replaced, cnc copper backweight installed); Norne Audio Vygarde h/p cable.
• Dynamic, engaging, natural. The QHA produces no hum / noise at the maximum volume setting. The QHA is very well built and has the look to my eyes. Much more listening (different tubes / headphones) to come. I am a happy h/p amper !!

This concludes the desktop portion of my audio journey, I have now reached the “custom rack build” stage. (I don’t have a problem, I swear. I can stop stop at any time)

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:
Thanks for the super remarks, it's a good thing I like them also as I'm making them for myself lol, made my mind up to make a complete set of cables for my collection of cans this winter as a project (starts today down under) as I'll be stuck inside till I can turn some wood into shavings when it gets warmer outside... giggle...

But I got distracted (as always) from my SW copper anaconda's, shiny things will do that with me lol. Look at how pretty 'n shiny this stuff is with my LED on it... Maybe not the ideal spot again but it's at my Head-Fi Station giggle. Now that is BLING! looks energized 'n glowing magical like.....I love it!

I'm on a new idea, or same idea but bigger again 'n more shiny..... seeing if I can squeeze 8 x 18awg (phat 504 strands) silver plated litz cable into some terminations :heart_eyes::flushed::japanese_goblin::eye:. Not sure if it's gonna work out but sure looks purdy :heart_eyes::hugging:... It's all good head-fi pron though I have something even BIGGER, more excessive 'n expensive :sleepy: but pretty 'n shiny on my mind for later hehehe

last image is for reference: The Copper 8 way there is the big 22 awg stuff I'd been working wooohoooo.... Crazy remember, but hope it works out :fingers_crossed:... it's going to get worse before it gets better rofl.... Sorry everyone...:sweat:

lol it's still a fair swim from NZ to me.. :fingers_crossed:..wooohooo
