C&C bh2
I bought from this seller earbuds ATH, very good seller, but I did not notice right away C & C, so I do not know whether or not in stock...
who is without sin, lolThat seller is fairly reputable in China as it is a legit store in Shanghai, but also known for lousy after-sale service from time to time.
Can someone give some info about the fiio k1 and creative e1? If it means alot, ill be using it with a smartphone to drive a low impedence pair of vmoda over ears (lp2) pretty bass heavy, so if either would better bring forward the mids id appreciate that
Grado stuff is generally very easy to drive and doesn't need extra amping. However, as a general rule of thumb, Grado tends to sound best with tube amp, which mellows out its aggressiveness. That being said, I think C&C BH2 is probably the best amp to pair with a Grado, but it is also getting hard to come by unless you buy one from Taobao. JDS cmoy is okay, but not as good as BH2 as far as synergy is concerned.
what makes BH2 have good synergy with grados?!!
im still looking for an amp, but i always remembered this post about their synergy..can you please explain in more details?!
isn't BH2 a kinda bright sounding amp which could be bad synergy with already bit bright Grados?
I hope its not a repost, but what do you guys think about Lars & Ivan (and mostly about HA-1?)?
I am planning to buy an entry-level mobile amp (~50$), at the moment I like the Soundmagic A10 and Lars & Ivan HA-1 the most: but I am very new to the amps and not sure about my decision.
Thank you guys for help!
@ClieOS Do your recommendations still stand OR are there new entrants that have caught your eye? I've seen quite a few users touting Xduoo xduoo xq-10, SMSL SAP 7 and Topping NX1/2.
How do these stack against the amp mentioned by you in your post? Lastly, I also see quite few versions of cmoy amp floating around. The offerings from JDS Labs, Lucid Labs and MayFlower Electronics seems to be the most popular. Do you these there will be a noticeable difference in the ouput of these amps?
You can finf my full SMSL review here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/717908/impression-s-m-s-l-sap-4s-and-sap-7
Basically, I'll rank sAp-4s as the same as E5 and sAp-7 the same as E6. They will be added into the list, in time. NX1 is just sAp-4s with gain switch, so there really isn't a lot more I can add to it beside copying from the sAp-4s review.
Hi @ClieOS
I can see you have the VE RunAbout.
I am interested to know your thoughts on it compared with the other sub 100$ portable amps you have.
Starting myself to have interest in portable amps with 9V batteries, I have a RunAbout Plus on the way
I have to admit the Corda Quickstep is very appealing (size, sq) but almost 4 times more expensivemaybe for later...
Btw, thank you for all your contribution so far !
