I wanted to keep videos under 8 minutes. Besides mentioning or showing amps used, what else should I do?

I have 2 sets of headphones I use. The Beyer T1's I have owned the longest, and the ones I still use the most.

Looks like we have a few T1 fans here.

+1

I am super picky when it comes to headphones. Very hard to please and always find some unacceptable "sound" to most headphones I have tried. The T1s are the only ones I tried that do everything really well and nothing irritating about them (other than nonremovable cord; although it is a good stock cord and if there was a removable one I would be sweating what to replace it with versus just enjoying them!)

Is the Beyer amp better than the Musical Fidelity? I have the MF M1 HPA.

With the T1s both amps sound awesome but the Beyer A1 mines every last bit of goodness from the T1s.

Very nice video Mike. Have you listened to the Audeze LCD-2 Rev 2 or Audeze LCD-3?. High end headphones are an area that I have not had the pleasure of experiencing.

Everyone say the LCD-x is the king. I really want to hear it.

For those deciding between the HD800 and T1. HE-6 thrown in too.
