So reading this https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/400513 made me wonder what amps people are using :)
using some cheap SAR-2100 that barely works for my 6XX/AD700X
What is the AMP/DAC you currently use ?

What sort of cans & speakers are you running through those?
Cans - I have all the audeze flagships, old HD800, a range of rare AT limited releases. They don't get much run time anymore as when I lived in inner city.
Speakers - used to have the Usher BE10 but too large for the space. Currently running CX4F mk2 so the power amps are still waiting to return to action.
BE10 was way too woofy even in a 5m x 10m room.
@tshow: Yeah I was eyeing off some Audeze lcd 2 or 3 as that is my current end goal. I wish I could have some nice speakers and amp to boot, but I can't really listen to music at the volume I'd like where I am. I got rid of everything except an old logitech z-2300 system that holds some sentimental value to me, but they haven't seen any use for a good few years+. I always wondered if there were any chinese companies selling speakers quality on par with Audio-gd? I remember looking at the time I got the NFB-11 to no avail.
@tshow: Budget doesn't really permit at the moment, I was eyeing off the b-stock sales they have. What sort of wood do they have on the cups?
@frondono:
The spare is a Bamboo with vegan pads.When you do buy one, consider the vegan pads, I actually think they're more comfortable unless you wear them heaps. The leather one takes ages to break in. And the headstrap mod to redistribute the weight is a big help. I'd be surprised if the new ones don't just come with one standard.
Complete forgot I have a whole PS Audio system too. :P. Cost much more than the Audio GD but I prefer the Audio GD's sound and industrial good looks.
