This setup is mostly for vinyl (VPI Prime w/Grado Statement 3 into Sutherland Insight), though i also have it on the analog out of an Eversolo A8 for streaming. I'm coming from a pair of Grado RS-1s that I've had for years and years, so this is a comfortable change. Too new to compare much yet soundwise, but the sound signature is VERY different and so far I'm thrilled.
