Budget Hifiman HE-400 amp
You are certainly right!! I will go with the Magni and if i don't like the sound, I will go with the E12.

Budget Hifiman HE-400 amp
Hello Greq, I'll take your advice and gee the Magni a listen. My concern is if the Magni being "overkill" is too much. Would it really matter if the Magni is overkill? I'm new to amps so I'm not really familiar with the subject.- Newguy7

Budget Hifiman HE-400 amp

I would not call the Magni a great match up for this Hifiman headphone, it just...- Newguy7

Questions about the "MrSpeakers Mad Dog (T50RP Mod)"
Hey Everyone, I was wondering if the "MrSpeakers Mad Dog (T50RP Mod)" really compare to high end headphones such as Sennheiser 600's or even LCD-2's as some people would claim. It seems unlikely, however, what would these headphones stack up against? I'm very interested in buying a pair and...- Newguy7
