[QUOTE="user 997, post: 527175, member: 997"] Yeah, I once recommended my Hifiman HE-500s headphone to a guy in the UK over at Head-Fi and suggested an amplifier to him that was well known and liked in the community, but that I personally haven't heard. He wasn't keen on purchasing the DAC and amp combo that I had. While the amp I suggested was good it didn't gel with the headphone at all and personally I should have been a bit more cautious about recommending the Hifimans based on his listening preferences for darker sounding gear. He ended up totally hating the combo. I also suggested a couple of DACs that fit into his budget and he bought one based on a couple of reviews and ended up making the system even worse. I think he ended up spending 1000GBP on a headphone system he totally detested. I felt really crappy about it. Later on I bought the same amplifier for my system and I now totally get where he was coming from, though it doesn't bother me as much as it did him. I ended up sending him an apology about it. He eventually ended up with an Audeze LCD-2 and much lighter wallet... [/QUOTE]
