T50RP with SEX?

[Magnetron]

Just curious, the impedance of the fostexT5RP fones is a bit higher than the SEX amp's highest output- 50ohm vs 32 ohm.  Has anyone used them with success?...with a SEX amp?

The higher impedance of the T50 does not present any issues.  In fact, I would recommend running them on the 4 or 8 Ohm settings on the SEX amp for the best signal to noise ration, lowest distortion, and optimal damping.

I'll add that not only do they work, they sound great.  I haven't found a headphone yet that don't sound good with the S.E.X.  (LCD-2, HE-6, HE-500, HE-5LE, HD650, HD800, T50RP, D2000, D5000, D7000, ATH-W3000ANV, TH900).  The more sensitive phones had a little background noise, but once the music started, I couldn't hear it.  Haven't tried any IEMs with the S.E.X.
