A cheap 50 dollar amp for my planars is what convinced me to get more into this hobby. I for sure heard a big difference

Then using a 100 usd tube amp changed things dramatically again. It warms up the sound to a huge degree. I bought the biggest tube with the most harmonic distortion on Amazon. It's very pleasant to listen to

Today, I'm going to test the 125 usd Schiit amp with my pure BA iems that i dont necessarily want to sound warm... if I ordered the right cable adapter. Hopefully the pairing is good, I'm expecting big things

Once you've done that you are well and trully past the diminishing return point. You should be able to happily keep that setup without missing out

I think I'm at end game, but there will be overtime when the Fiio FA11 is released lol

It's already a bit silly to buy a whole new amp to pair with one iem. Thank you for warning me tho, the allure of expensive gear is strong
