Whatever has enough power to catch them on fire.
 
Kidding. But probably something with rolled off treble, from all the accounts I've heard.

 

[agoston.berko]

can I set the treble amount on the SPL Phonitor front faceplate ?

Have you posted this in the high-end audio forum? You may get some laughs (the Edition 10 if you didn't already know is, ehm, controversial), but also some good advice from the high-end guys.

What makes it controversial?

There are problems with the build quality of some units, the sound signature disagrees with the ears of some. It's nothing major, but being audiophiles it's turned into random flame wars occasionally on the threads.

That's just about every headphone though surely, everyone has their tastes.

The main issue with the ED10 is that treble is artificially harsh, which does not add to a good experience with high strings or other high-heavy music. Early production versions had some build issues, but I believe most of them have been fixed. However, the overall presentation of the headphone is still great, and if looks are your thing you can't really beat it.

i hope this tread won't be a flame-war because i have mentioned the Ultrasone Ten.
that was not my intention.

No, don't worry. You'll only find that kind of passion if you directly state that one can is better at everything than another. Lol don't sweat it at all. I'm sorry we haven't been quite helpful to you, either. Have you tried posting in the High-End Audio Forum?

 

[agoston.berko]

okey: here are me choices SO FAR.
 
Violectric V200
and
SPL Auditor
 
both are reasonably priced, and they look good.
SPL supposed to have nice synergy with Ultrasone and Violectric has a smart gain switch to correct the treble area on the UE10.
 
what do you think guys ?
ANYTHING ELSE ? PLEASE RECOMMEND ME MORE MODELLS ! THANKS

Hi.
 
I´m very happy from 1 year with Edition 10. I think the best SS amp under 1000$ is BCL or Auditor.

The Phonitor is quite well-regarded for many high-end headphones, and is generally the go-to. I'll throw in my lot on this one from my experience with it on some Grados, Sennheisers, and Beyers. I've never heard a Phonitor with an ED10, but it did great things to the HD800 and PS1000.

 

[agoston.berko]

Phonitor yes maybe but Auditor is for the same SQ 60% cheaper.
are this little trigger at a front so important ?
maybe is useful for Ultrasone 10 but i dunno.
is crossfeed amount not set-able via PC software ?
