Best sounding headphones you have owned?
I recently upgraded from the HiFiMan Sundara 2020's to the HFM Ananda Nano's...  OMG,where my iBasso SR-1's are like the finest 300B SET amplifier driving Sonus Faber speakers,the Nano's are complete polar opposites.. We're talking big Krell Class...

Amp pairing for ATC SCM11 (v2)
Congrats on some really good speakers..Since they are not really large speakers with DEEP bass,I assume your room isn’t real big & you don’t listen at head banger levels... If I were you,I wouldn’t worry about your amp until you have several h...
