    Warwick Acoustics APERIO and BRAVURA

    Before I had the financial means to own any gear remotely worthy of the "hifi" moniker, I remember getting Haggard's Eppur Si Muove album and thinking the production was awful 😂 Very good album, though. But it sounded poor on my old Aiwa stereo, and it still sounds poor today on my KEF Blade 2s

    The Drinking Fountain - Full-Size Headphone Discussion

    I definitely do. It's probably the #1 reason I haven't purchased it yet. I usually buy 50/50 between used and new, but this one scares me, for sure, used.

Happy to share some thoughts on the potential synergy, all of the following is with respect to Lo-Z output. Firstly, the E3 is a very competent headphone. Well-built, comfortable (a little...
