I have mine and it came with reversed polarity drivers. Did this happen to you also? Please check with this clip: With correct polarity, these largely solve distant mids and they sound a LOT better. This is easy to correct if you know how to open them up.- IBJamon

I am also testing a review sample of these. I had to fix a manufacturing mistake (swapped L&R) but since doing that I am very impressed with these! Definitely treble-head approved, for sure. I have a feeling these could really shake up their price point for the discerning audiophile!- IBJamon

The Koss ESP950 thread (ESP owners, please contribute! :)
That's honestly quite surprising, given how well regarded most Topping equipment has become. Many of their 'normal' headphone amps have reference-level measurements.- IBJamon

I still love mine, use it daily. The only thing is the volume knob has gotten a little scratchy. Not sure what can be done to fix that. Otherwise it's been great!- IBJamon

Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3
I recommend lining the cups with some putty. I think I used sticky tac or similar. You don't need to go crazy but a little bit in the flat indentions should take care of it.- IBJamon

Audeze Mobius review / impressions
I did the Wicked Cushions thing, and they work, but they are not as comfy (to me) as advertised. And they are a royal pain to install. Not that I discourage you from trying them, but I was hoping for better.- IBJamon

KOSS ESP-950 Thread
I know this is a very old post, but how well did this end up working? I have several PD adapters, and if I could replace the massive Koss 9v wallwart with a much smaller PD power adapter and one of these, well, I might just do it!- IBJamon

KOSS ESP-950 Thread
What I was asking basically is if the RCA connectors on the E90 are a shared common ground or not. If so, then yes I will not try this. Thanks!- IBJamon

KOSS ESP-950 Thread
Does anyone know if there is any electrical difference between the rca and 3.5mm jack on the E90? One of my dacs supports a balanced connection (with a claimed lower noise level) but I'd have to convert from 4.4mm to RCA and I'm unsure if it's worth the hassle.- IBJamon

Does anyone know how to optimize SoundID?
I have a new pair of 1MORE earbuds with SoundID built in. And... I hate it! I love the idea, but I am forced to use one of their test tracks that I've never heard before, and tune the sound in ways I have no idea what I am doing.... then when I get the results and listen to my own music, I...- IBJamon

Very good point - I think I paid $229 for mine. I don't know if my wife would have let me swing $300 ;)- IBJamon

Emotiva A-100
Did you guys see that they finally replaced this model? https://emotiva.com/collections/frontpage/products/basx-a2m-stereo-flex-amplifier I would say that since it uses a SMPS power supply instead of a linear, this one is likely to retain its value for quite some time :)- IBJamon

Honestly this amp can drive well pretty much any bookshelf. Just choose what you like. :) I'm pairing mine with a fairly cheap pair of Pioneer BS-22's and they sound great together.- IBJamon

If they are similar but cheaper, not at all a bad thing- IBJamon
