Bushwacker:Thanks for lending me your Hornet last Friday at the party. I'm the small guy with Er4s and clear custom mold.

Bushwacker:Thanks for lending me your Hornet last Friday at the party. I'm the small guy with Er4s and clear custom mold. Just wonder what are the rage of recommended headphone impedance range for Tomahawk? How high is consider too high for this little amp? I read on the headfi that a fully ran-in tomahawk (500 hours) will have very similar sound to the Hornet... As for the comment in bass performance, which headphone are you referring to? ER4s?

dle4e_2005 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 I read from review or take on both the Hornet and tomahawk. Reviews http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=216903 take on hornet vs. tomahawk http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=240665 Hopes this helps. I have only tried the Hornet and the Tomahawk for a while with my ER4s. I prefer the sound from the Hornet but the size of the Tomahawk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hnx676 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2007 I prefer the sound from the Hornet but the size of the Tomahawk. Well, life is always full of compromise. It would have been a no-brainer if there is a produce combining both the qualities of the hornet and tomahawk... For portable application, the size and battery life of the tomahawk is hard to beat...

Shiro MS08th 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2007 By the way how much is the Hornet? Didn't ask Uncle Wilson while i'm there a few weeks back, now abit tempted to buy a good portable amp. Thanks in advanced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bushwacker 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Hi, the hornet is $630 from jaben. The tomahawk is 500. The AE-2 is also 500+. Do go and audition the AE-2, its similar to the hornet. The Beyer A1 is darn good and has very good synergy with the DT990. It automatically adjusts to the headphones' impedence. All I can say, is that the A1 is damn bloody good but darn ex too Edited June 9, 2007 by Bushwacker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
