yazz flute

Why all the hatin'?

Obviously not. I was just wondering whether anyone here had some first hand experience with this amp by now and what they thought of it. Hence the thread bump. And yes, I've scoured the other place as well.

Sorry about the thread bump but I'm considering buying this amp. It's been around for a while now. Any thoughts (about the amp)?

When one covets what they cannot have, there is always schadenfreude.

Jesus H Christ!

Move over Apple.

Dear Phiaton8053, I suggest that you give Head-Fi a try.

I still laugh every time I see that. Good times.... good times...

What he said. Attach a microphone and you can double as a sports broadcaster.

Pick your poison, drink it, put the LCD-2 on your noggin, press play, stop obsessing and start enjoying it for the flawed headphone that it obviously is.

I wasn't joking silly.

That's Mr yazz flute to you.

Den I gotta get me sum adem thangs.

I've only had mine for a short time but I just wanted to echo postjack's excellent review. The highs are just right for me but I like some top-end sparkle. The PS1000 has what I feel the LCD-2 lacks in this department, not to mention some air, which I just mentioned. I suppose it's coloured but I don't know what a neutral headphone sounds like. What I do know is that I prefer the colour of this headphone to some of the other high-end offerings that I've heard, with the exception of one Stax rig that I particularly liked. Could the bass be tighter and more detailed? That would be a welcome improvement but no headphone is perfect. Unlike postjack, I found the bass presentation of the Lambda's that I tried to be their achille's heel. Like postjack, I think that John Grado has created a seriously resolving headphone that's also fun.

There's a lot to like about this phone but it did sound a tad dark to me.

I can't be sure but I think my hypno-therapist made me do it.

No over-glueing is a cause for celebration indeed.

Yes I did... the PS1000! God knows why.

The rope chafes and the chair is uncooperative.

No, that's not what I meant at all. But you don't understand. Somebody please help me. Please.... Help... Me... Please... Somebody...

I tried the SR-507 and SR-4040LE with the SRM-600 LE. I also tried the SRS-3170, which made more of an impression. I preferred it to the HD800 with Lehmann Black Cube Linear. Thank you.

I'll press on regardless. The PS1000 is hopefully winging its way here as I type. The WA6SE is quite a step up in performance and price from the two models that I'm considering. The form factor isn't ideal either. I was hoping that the MAD Ear+HD or WA6 would be more than sufficient to drive the PS1000 and am just wondering how they compare.

Apologies for the thread bump but do the MAD Ear+HD and Woo WA6 amps pair nicely with the PS1000?

^ Okay but how does that translate into performance? In what way does the SRM-323(S) sound "better" to your ears than the SRM-006t(S)?

Just wondering why you prefer the SRM-323(S) to the SRM-006t(S)?
