I haven’t bought any expensive amps. I’m running zen can right now. I’ve gone out and tried different amps without knowing the price or anything and different amps i’ve tried have sounded different from each other. I get what you are saying about buyers remorse but I try everything out before I buy it. I don’t have any investment into any of the amps i’ve tried so why would I have any buyers remorse and placebo myself into hearing something that’s not there. Literally I would just see a amp, not know what it is, try it out, gather my thoughts on it, and then afterwards find out what it’s worth. I thought nautilus was meh even though it’s a $10,000 amplifier. There is no reason for me to placebo myself when I don’t know what it is in the first place.

highly disagree having tried multiple different solid state amplifiers. A lot of them sound similar but most of them have discernible differences. I think it’s more of the headphone benefiting from more power or current rather than the actual sound of the amplifier. But to say there is no difference just means you haven’t tried multiple amps in multiple price points on headphones that scale well. A perfect example of amps making a difference are on the hifiman susvara. When I tried susvara for the first time I heard it on dcs lina. I thought it sounded like dogshit. Later that day I tried it on a benchmark hpa4 and I was blown away. To this day it’s still the best sounding thing i’ve heard. Amps make a difference more at the mid to high end. From seeing peoples profiles it seems most people who say this only own one or two cheap amplifiers or are fairly new to the headphone space.
