RE: Has anyone here been disappointed by "flagship" headphones?

I also have the Schiit Valhalla, it's a great amp and performs WAY above its price point, It just didnt have the juice IMHO to drive the 650 to its peak performance

I love my Schiit gear (valhalla, bifrost, modi) they are keepers as well, eventually I will get a pair of grados I think (leaning towards the gs1000i)and set up a second system, But that will have to wait for greener days

The SE84 is a no brain'er for me, it also has the option of using speakers (BONUS) and I have been a SET nut for a long time, I love the 45 triode so sweet and lush, but lacks a little on the bass and maybe a very little bit warm, This is my second single end pentode amp and both times they were exceptional amps

With headphones i get to save a ton of money, with SET on open air speakers I was forced to Bi-Amp in order to get reasonable bass reproduction. No worry on headphones 3 WPC will make the ears beg for mercy
