I have two pairs of Jerry Harvey IEMs, both custom moulds. The Sharona plus a good source is seriously capable. I never got a decent fit with any off the shelf IEM.

Thanks man
Appreciate.

Hi, how do you like the Hifiman HE1000 Stealth? What other headphones have you compared it with, and have you compared it to the Focal Bathys? Last question, can these be driven by a DAC dongle?

Okay. Recently compare with the HE1000se,
The stealth has a more warmer tone. A tad V shape than the SE. SE sounds a little more resolving and relax at the same time, it doesn’t rumble as much as the Stealth. SE better depth and Stealth better width.

It’s been awhile since I demoed the Bathys I’ve tried with only wireless mode. Is punchy, very intimate sounding, not as resolving as focal clear. The HE1000 siblings is on another level, that being said if you hate treble they might not be for you. These are sparkly and airy.

I use Naim Uniti Atom HE.

I don’t find them hard to drive, I’ve also tried with AK CA1000. They are fine. No need for a beefier amp, just a quality one will do good.

I’ve had a Susvara in the past.

If you had a beefy HP amp, it was simply a sublime experience.

Did every musical style with grace and balls when required.

The price on the Susvara Unveiled is insane and the Susvara is right on the limit for almost of us.

The Ferrum OOR delivers 8 Watt @ 60 Ohm - seems to be build for the Susvara… :sunglasses:

A French seller powers the Susvara with two blocks of 150W each… that’s how they work best!

Yeah but you know what. Grado has the best service in the business.

Once I had Fedexed them overnight in for rewiring and not only John Grado called me ( tho botched my first name badly ) but they returned them BEFORE I even paid them! :+1:

I always loved the Grado sound but found them to be less comfortable than other brands……

I have the same headphones and enjoy them on a regular basis. Coincidentally, I was messing around last night and thought I would try and drive them with my iPad streaming from Qobuz and was blown away by how good they sounded. I’ve considered picking up an external DAC (e.g. Chord Mojo 2) many times but I don’t think I would use it enough to justify the expense. Don’t hesitate to give it a go. They’re very easy to drive and sound great!
