Where is the Earmax?
Sep 9, 2013 at 9:09 AM Post #346 of 353
I heard the Pro in a shop years ago and was very impressed so I have finally bought one and am now a very happy Earmax owner as well! It sounds great but I haven´t really figured out where to use it yet, I didn´t really need a new headphone amp but this was one I really wanted. I have taken note of all the tube rolling suggestions for further tweaking but it feels like my headphone quest is finally over - for this week at least.

Anyone using Earmax (any model, but probably the Silver) with a recent model of IEMs / CIEMs?
 
Can't really understand why more power is needed to drive more sensitive heaphones (the less headphone impedance = more current required just doesn't compute for me).
 
Anyway, if you do, what position do you have the volume knob set to for normal listening?

earmax se is one of my favourite headphone amp I have used because of it's appearance and size.  The reason why I sell it is that it is not good at dealing with high impedances such as my HD800, but it is fairly good for low impedance ones :) 
 
I think more users use high impedance headphones in head-fi, and that's why.
