I agree with Uraniumcommitee about the Stax sound (I've got Omegas --the most comfortable for me.) For dynamics, The Headroom Max (the affordable previous generation) works well with my Senn 650s and AKG 701s. (The AKGs are the best-sounding dynamics and are by far the King of Comfort in the entire headphone world, IMHO. At about $350 street price, I think every headphone user should have a pair.) But nothing really sounds as pleasant and detailed and non-fatiguing and integrated and just plain real as the Stax Omegas with the matching amp (I have the tube one). I only wish there were speakers that sounded so nice.
Headphone Amp Recommendation
I am trying to decide between the Meier-Audio Arietta and the Channel Islands Audio VHP-2. Both have gotten good reviews. The Arietta is the budget version of the Corda Aria--without the D/A which I don't need.
Has anyone compared these 2 or have comments on either?
Thanks.
