Nice dude. What headphones do you use with the peak? Mostly dynamic or do they do planars ok? Know next to nothing about it

Any headphone works fantastic, it has gobs of power and drives the K1000 with ease. It's one of the best mid-fi amps of all time.

When I think midfi I think schiit and massdrop way less than a grand. Different standards, horses for courses

MrSpeakers Ether C Flow 1.1. If this is mid-fi...

The Peak is great, no faults whatsoever but it doesn't have the technicalities of proper SET/OTL amps nor the smoothness so it doesn't belong with the big boys. Massdrop and many <1K are low-fi IMO.

@earnmyturns, I'm saying the peak is mid-fi because I'm currently listening to it with the K1000 and it's a great experience, but earlier in the day I was using the Teton...and the difference between the two is not small to put it lightly. Using ECC32 btw.

I listen to a lot of live modern jazz, and one thing I can't fault the Peak for, relative to the live sound, is smoothness. If anything, live performances, even in the best venues acoustic-wise, sound somewhat rougher. But you are tempting me to find what I'm missing ;)
