Summary:
much as the headroom is a nice amp, to be brutally honest you'd be better off buying a Sugden Headmaster. it is by way of it's effortless transparency, simply a better amp. i think it's worth saying too - it's twice as beautiful as the headroom. :)

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Have had a full refund from Headroom for the returned product. So consider my former email undone. Vincent van Romondt

Summary:
Sorry to disturb the positive spheres some reviewers are in. I just want to say that I had an unpleasant experience with headroom when returning a product. I heard rumours of headroom staff not answering emails before. Well this happened to me to. After returning a product from the Netherlands I have in vain tried to contact the company. Emails are not answered and a confirmation of the return seems beyond their understanding. It is hard to imagine that a reasonable letter to the manager and president of the company is left unanswered. But that is a fact. So do not overly be impressed by their smooth return policy as stated on the internet or a number of positive reviews. Their consumer friendly attitude has a very short span. Very well possible ofcourse that another person has another experience. But mine is a fact to. I will inform you when I see some of my original investment of $500 back. Vincent van Romondt

Summary:
This amp has the ability to be quick, and dynamic at the same time with very good clarity. The Max has great detail in the treble without over doing it like other solid-states I have heard. Most solid-state amps don't cut it in the midrange, but the Max comes the closest to the the liquidity, and richness of O.T.L. designs. It offers a balance between extremely revealing, and liquid smooth. There may be other headphone amps with more treble on the top-end, or boom in the bass, but none have the build quality, balance, controlled dynamics, speed, effortless drive, or versatility of the Max. Highly recommended!

Strengths:
Build quality, slam, detail, speed, blackness between notes, clarity, service, support, and warranty. The Max is also very versatile, and works well with a wide varity of different headphones.

Weaknesses:
Price, some of the switches are on the back panel, and no remote control.
