    Omega makes some great speakers that mesh well with low wattage headphone amps. Nice setup there!

    Maybe a bit much for a profile post, but: What did you use for the custom PC? Any special parts you chose only because you wanted to use it for audio?

    Wait. Where is the LIM?
    
    Feb 9, 2022
  3. Josh Schor
    I sold the LIM, I like the Gungnir more with the EC studio b, its music compared to instruments and blackness. Its like the LIM was more brain and the gungnir with this amp is more emotion.
