Ety ER4S definitely belongs. I like the Koss PortaPro for cheapies.

for CIEMs: is 1964 Ears not in the running? Really curious how you guys think they compare to UERM.

Also, with regard to UHA-6S: which opamp is the recommendation based on?

Why no HE-6?

Didn't like the liquid gold with the Abyss. At all.

I nominate the HE-6 (conditional on mods), Rag and M7 / SA-2.
Metrum Quad and SA-31 in the cheaper stuff.

Put me down for the LGlass over Lau.  Still my favorite Cavalli amp.

I'd say 209 or 4627 for the UHA6.  Some seem fine with the 8610, I've never liked it.

agreed on HE-6. I hated HE-6 stock, but your and gourami's mods made me think otherwise.

LG over LAu definitely.

I like the Koss PortaPro for cheapies.

If we can only pick one of the range, I'd take the KSC 75 over the portapro. $12 on sale and easy as all hell to mod.

I haven't followed 1964 for a few years, but back then they were noticeably down the peg compared to UERM and ES5 standards.  They were budget customs, not flagship CIEMs.
