Still looking for a complementary pair of closed-backs (Celestee maybe?), but my current endgame setup. Loving the BF2 → Jot2 → Clear Mg for analytical listening, and the BF2 → DarkVoice → 6XX for some warm, tubey goodness! :drooling_face:

Yeah I’m probably done for a bit.

Pi2AES → Bifrost 2 → Bottlehead Crack w/ Speedball OR GSX mini → HD800S/Verite Closed

I just realized everything except the HD800S is American gear :thinking:

Allo digione signature → RME ADI-2 → Flux Lab Acoustics FA-12 → LCD-4z. Not pictured is HD800S, Ether CX, HD6XX, HE-6SE but I mostly just use the 4z and the 800S

Nice setup.

How do you like the 4z? It’s one of the headphones I’m interested in.

For the genres that I listen to the most, electronic, metal, pop, rap, pretty much anything with a strong bassline, the 4z is a great headphone. It’s the sort of headphone I can put on and just enjoy the music and not get distracted by the flaws in the recording. It’s definitely detailed but not in a way that I find to be overly fatiguing. I prefer the 800S for acoustic music as the bass in the 4z can sometimes be too much for those genres and the treble is not as airy as I would like. But for an all round headphone I think it’s a good choice.

Is the FA-12 enough power for the 4z and 800s?

Yeah definitely. I don’t go above 1 o’clock on medium gain for either headphone. I’m interested in trying something like the FA-10 for the 800S but I don’t feel like I don’t have enough power for either headphone

I don’t know how it sounds but that GS-X Mini really is just sooooo good-looking.

As pretty as it is, it’s not going to play nice with a LOT of setups. It’s an unapologetically resolving amp.
