Worth it for difficult to drive cans. I'm pretty sure I've never got the best out of my 702.Quote:

My recently acquired Grado PS1000 were £1800 new so should be pretty decent and I do like the Grado sound.
Would be interesting to compare to my OTL valve headphone amp Jerry.
Send it along, Alan!Quote:

I have one and love it, Jerry. I use mine to feed a pair Sennheiser HD 700s. It will be interesting to see what you make of it with you wider experience of hi-fidelity.Quote:

Jerry knows I rate the Wharfedale Iso 'phones. I've not compared them with - say - his Aude'zes, but I did sell my nice A-T WTH-1000s after I rediscovered' the Isos.
i bought them circa 1973!
Getting new cushions for them isn't easy. My leatherworking friend was cursing me as it was a fiddly job. The original covers seem to be stitched AROUND the innards. So need to be cut off.
He reckoned he'd charge £80/90 normally -and doesn't want to!
I balked at getting a set of Final phones recently (£2000 from £4.500!) new...but...price of a car?
Are my ears good enough?
The nuras are noise reduction when on Bluetooth to a phone. Has a few touch gestures that do different things too. It gets set up in the nura app
THAT'S why (I haven't heard of them).
I don't own a 'smart' phone.
Or stream music -yet.
Looks like I may HAVE to change re the phone, as so much of the world seems to involve waving a screen at stuff (let alone burying your nose -life - in one.
Streaming? We'll see.
Was talking to a couple of Civil servants this morning, who we 'selling' info on Fraud. I educated them on Faraday cages and cards/car keys, which of course they knew nothing.
Got a free pen (it's a stick-like thing people used to put marks called 'writing' on paper.)
