While not a big headphone user, at least in the past, I have lusted after a SS-100 for a while base on its reputation and looks (I think they are downright beautiful). Don't see them with any regularity and surprisingly seldom in Japan. Leads me to belive the US PX might have been the big market. Found a nice condition pair of the bay and pulled the plug. Their raity and attractiveness keeps the cost high but I only saw the cost going up, so the time seemed right,
First impression are very positive, very natural flat sound with little to no distrortion. They are suprisingly comfortable. I was a bit worried their size and weight might be an issue but they are actually quite light and comfortable. Ear seal could be better but not an issue.
I am wondering if they would benefit from a headphone amp (impedance 60ohms) my guess is yes. Any recomendations? Tube or SS?
Also posted on the Sansui forum but may get more input here. Appreciate any recomendations perspectives.
