unknownxrecon 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2008 if memory serves, tomahawk are for IEMs sorry that i forgot to state i use headphones(ATH-ES7). i may be planning to change back to IEMs in the future. just to check again, amps for IEMs can also be used for headphones, can they?

Guest dragonboy Report post Posted June 20, 2008 I'll suggest the earphones first but I can only tell you the ultimate link silver master is more than fantastic. Don't even try it..... you'll end up buying it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest dragonboy Report post Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) thought stereo said they don't bother with the silver ref already.. not in production any longer Diff in price btwn the silver ref and silver master is only abt like $30-$40..... SQ, detail, separation, soundstaging you get everything you pay for. That must be why they stop the silver ref. Edited June 21, 2008 by dragonboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't even try it..... you'll end up buying it. for real?! the master is more better than the reference? i was wondering why i dropped a mail to stereo and they replied their master is only left with 2 more pieces. i think i got to really try the both of them to hear the difference!

ralfale 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 How about invest in a home setup? Home setup and portable are totally different breed. With the money spent on high end IEM, you will be much better off getting a grado for home use. But then, it's the portability we are talking abt here.
