These have recommended a few times already. I guess I will start saving up for one. If you guys see any available, I would be most appreciative for the heads up. They do seem a bit tough to find in the US, at least the Violectric. I wish Sweetwater had balanced versions of the SPL Phonitor because they have their interest-free SW card. Oh well. One dayā¦ M0N, would you happen to know of anyone looking to get rid of any of these?

The violectrics are a bit dry on the used market at the moment, and also power holdings is out of stock with the v280 and 281 so thatās unfortunate
Personally I think the phonitors are cool but I feel like the gsx mini and vio offer higher performance for a similar price, the phonitor 2 or xe are neat if you will actually use the features it offers, but otherwise personally they are not my preference.
Balanced argon owner here, it powers them great.

Would it be safe to use both the stock cables that come with the Elex plugged into the Erish and Atom both fed by the Enog and leave both amps on while unplugging and re-plugging the 3.5mm connectors to the headphone to switch between amps for comparison?
Not sure what is going on. This only just started yesterday and hasnāt stopped since. The power button doesnāt work when I use it and the amp when plugged in will turn on and off about every minute by itself. I tried using the other power brick from the Enog and got the same result and tried using a different wall socket and got the same result. The Enog and my Atom still work fine, so itās just the Erish.
Edit: Now it only stays on for the first few seconds after you plug it into the power source.
I completely unplugged everything when I went to sleep and plugged it back in just now and it is suddenly working again. Really bewildering to me.
Might want to email Gino and see if they can help troubleshoot. Sounds like a strange problem. Intermittent short somewhere maybe?

Yup give them an email. They have great customer service.
Hit them up with an email since the same problem just randomly started happening again about 3 days ago.
I donāt know if anyone answered the questions about the Focal Clears above but Iāve had the Erish for a few months and have been testing it when time allowed. Iām using the ENOG 2 DAC running to windows with windows enabled for 24 192.
Iāve noticed Erish is much more headphone dependent compared to the Archel model amps.
Not that itās a bad thing but itās something that I noticed, the RNHP amp is the same way. Some headphones create a magical experience and others just sound good. Iāve only tested a few headphones to be honest though the Clears and 4XX. Waiting on another cable for the Sinns

I hooked up my DT 880 / 600ohm to an Erish. Itās marvelous.
Anyone here pair the Erish with the Modius?
Just curious
Curious to hear anyoneās experience running an Erish with a Soncoz LA-QXD1 DAC. Iām using this setup and it seems like a nice pairing to me. But I donāt have anything else to compare my Erish against.
thatās the mardi gras version imo
Sort of excited for this. Got a used one for $130 and hopefully it gets here before the weekend.
Planning to pair it with the su-9 with the Focal Clear MG

Got the erish and my initial impression is, āwow this thing sounds clean, lots of power, and good soundstageā I had to switch to low gain using Clear MG.
Of course need more session with this but so far Iām having fun

The JNOG or J2 would be great pairing for it
ahā¦ here is a weird question.
can I use this geshelli erish headphone amp as 2-channel mic pre amp?
