www.nectarsound.net As a electrostatic headphone maker, I have also built my own estat amps and have built and measured others. This is my honest explanation, and review of the EHA5.
Question. On your site now. I see you mention the 353x..i happen to have one. Would you get the topping Eha5 if i have the 353x or wait until i can invest in a superior energizer? Thank you. Good video btw
EHA5 probably will probably have lower output impedance in the highs so you may see less distortion in the high frequencies if listening at high volume, so for the price, it may be worth it. Otherwise if you already have a 353x I probably would stick with it. Also the 353x should have a nice balance POT for both L and R ear. If you really wanted an upgrade you're probably looking at a KGSSHV or something like that for an end game amp which can really output a lot of power over the entire spectrum with 0.01% or so distortion even at high amplitudes.
