Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
Low level amps are actually impressive and I share the view re use; having a Nagra 300i and a first watt j2; both having 10-20w. They sound very well also loud with the likes as a Burmester small l/s or a bw 804 I am really contemplating buying one of these Schiit amps…- miko64

World's First 6mm AMT Earphone - CLIO
I did not listen too long to Supermoon but superficially they are similar. Re Amt they are technically (physical principe) quite near to planars hence I would qualify them similar from a technical point of view- miko64

Equivalent alternative to the Final Audio A8000?
You should try one of the obravo AMTs is Eamt1/2c or clio. They are a tad warmer but equally impressive, re Campire they are good, but none of the BAs neither Solaris have the resolution of A8000 or the obravos. The miss microstructure. An other one which you might want to heas is CA supermoon...- miko64

Final A8000 Beryllium Diaphragm Dynamic IEM Comments and Impressions
Just got the a8000 as a complement to Obravo eamt1/2 or Clio. All of them very good. I am using eamt2c daily but I wanted something different (excellent, but not necessarily better) …- miko64

What I really like with the bravo’s is the Heil amt driver which has excellent resolution and speed, almost like an electrostatic but less onerous in terms of bespoken amps. You can btw see this also with Loudspeakers - I have a Burmesyer 022 which excels in the same dimenso- miko64

I had Cupid and Solaris also. Your statement is in my view correct. The Cupid is a league up similar to the sure 1200 or the lcd i4. As a consequence Solaris is mostly in the drawer :). Did you hear super moon - they are closer; I prefer however clio- miko64

World's First 6mm AMT Earphone - CLIO
Much better in various dimensions a) Did not break in parts :( b) Rather more transparent c) As a form factor - much easier to wear d) I did not extensive testing between my tools but overall I have a lot of headpones, but use the following by order of use a) obravo eamt2 b) obravo clio c)...- miko64

I bought it from Phil and I am most happy, it sounds almost as good as the Eamt 1and 2c’s but for a much lower price and a more common form factor. Very well done!- miko64

Astell&Kern A&futura SE200: First DAP With Multiple DACs - Head-Fi TV
I had a mishap - may dcs Rossini is in repair and I compared ak 1000 vs se200 with passlabs xa30.8 and Wilson Sabrina. The difference between the two dacs is material to such a degree, which I could not appreciate before. When listening vs Rossini 1000m was materially worse. Still good, but not...- miko64
