Originally posted by zzz I've seen that statement a few times around here already and /me wonders what sort of bass you guys are all looking for. When I auditioned this amp some time ago (Ikemi -> Headmaster -> W2002) I was amazed by its bass. Frankly, it was something I have never experienced with headphones before. Say in the beginning of Hyperballad by Bjork I have literally felt my whole scull vibrating, and at the same time the bass was controlled, richly textured, and in general felt *right*.

Agree completely. There's an interaction between W2002 and the Headmaster. I had experienced the "bass lite" syndrome on the first couple of headphones I tried with the Headmaster...R10, HP-1 and HD-600 (well, bass was better with HD-600 but not well controlled). With the W2002, the bass comes into focus. It goes deep and is well controlled. The Sugden may be THE amp for the W2002 (both will need much more time for a better evaluation, but that's my first reaction).

Kelly pulls joelongwood's cold dead body from the throne and casts it aside, placing the bloodied crown on the head of Hirsch. The king is dead. Long live the king.

Must it be a monarchy?
