Egoista 2A3 is the best headphone amp which I or a dozen of my fellow audiophiles which visited me have ever listened. It is absolutely common opinion from anybody here who listened it. It is definitely one of the best in the world. But I am thinking to upgrade it to Egoista 845, it probably would be end game and the best headphone amp you can find for any money)Ooh, I'd love to hear more about that Egoista 2A3. Also, do you use the Solista for headphones as well, and if so, how do you like that one, too?
My Solista Mk III was used by some guys to listen hard driving headphones - Susvara and 1266 - and they wrote very good reviews on Russian-speaking audio forums about this experience. I don't have headphones which require more power than Egoista 2A3 can give and never used it for headphones on my own (only one time with borrowed Susvara) - so I would prefer first get Egoista 845 and only then buy Susvara, LCD-4 or 1266. I think Egoista 845 and Susvara would be a dream combination, better than Solista Mk III - which was also worked fine with Susvara.
Actually this Sunday I am waiting 6-7 head-fi audiophiles from Moscow who bring a lot of headphones and sources with them and who also want to listen Solista Mk III with some of their stuff.

bee-YOU-tee-fullHow about my Akai equaliser. It can even smile at you. If not for Bcowen I would still have this.
This brings back funny memories of these 1/3 octave equalizers that were built to a low price-point and sold in electronics stores. People went crazy for them but never knew quite what to do with them.
Early in my audio journey I borrowed one and tried to use it in my then-system. I wasted hours changing the sound in 1000 ways. Only when I took it out of the system did it sound 1/2-way decent again.

Get out the Maxell chromium UD cassettes!
Is this enough?
Nice to see another Egoista 2A3 owner!
I purchased my Egoista 2A3 from my Viva dealer last week and I've been listening non-stop ever since. It is amazing- mind blowing, and it certainly has end game status for me.
With respect to Egoista 845 vs. Egoista 2A3, two different Viva dealers here in the USA told me they personally preferred and strongly recommended the 2A3 version over the 845 version, even though 845 is just a little bit more expensive. Also a very well-regarded enthusiast Roy ("romaz") lived with both 845 and 2A3 over weeks at the same time and he bought the 2A3. Roy is at the bleeding edge of audio (Taiko Extreme, etc.). His Egoista comparison review is on this site.
I am so floored by the Egoista, I just bought a Viva Linea preamp for my speaker system, arriving next week.

Metal! It's not just for breakfast anymore...
haha - it can't be real! I had absolutely the same system some time ago! I also had Superkomputer + GG2 + Egoista 2A3 + as well as you I had PP12 and 4z and 1000se. Do you steal my old system?
That is crazy!
In that case, just tell me what I'm buying next. That will save me time reading and researching new stuff.
