RAAL 1995 Immanis
So many good feedback about the Immanis.... I am tempted ! ! However, since I will use mostly with my DAP N30 Cayin, i wonder if the Immanis is sensitive enough to be powered with a (very powerful) DAP ? Today I use a D8000 Pro LE that is definitively sensitive enough.- bmichels

Be carefull with the PSAVANE ! One of my PSAVANE created a short circuit to my BHSE that I then needed to send back to Justin for repair. Justin confirmed that PSAVANE tubes may have some reliability issues.- bmichels

The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.
With my Cayin N30 DAP, I still prefer my Amber Pearl IEM to my Final D8000 Pro LE. This lead me to believe that with DAPs, even a very powerful one, TOL IEM sound better than any Full size headphone that need a Desktop Amp to offer their full potentiel... Soon I will be able to try my Final...- bmichels
