In Reply to: RE: RAAL-Requisite SR1B Ribbon Headphones posted by John Elison on March 10, 2024 at 23:12:13
Yeah, I have a set of SR1-A in the house being driven by the Schiit Jotunheim-R, a special version of their Jotunheim headlamp specially developed for these headphones. This is a great pairing, and I greatly enjoy the setup. The SR1-B is essentially the same headphone, with cosmetic changes.
You can also drive these cans directly using a conventional speaker amp. They reward using the best quality you can afford. You can find extensive experiences with this headphone and different amps here:

How does the RAAL Requisite SR1-A do with bass. Are you happy with its bass response? I kind of get a kick out of the low frequencies.
Thanks!

Yes, out of the box the SR1-A needs baffle compensation for the sake of bass. The Jotunheim-R has a switch to turn on this feature. When using a conventional amp, one uses an "Interface" box between the amp and headphones that provides this baffle compensation/bass eq. I think that the new SR1-B has inline filters that do this, but not certain.
RAAL offers transformer interface options for low-power SETs and "conventional" headlamps to drive the phones.
Some people enjoy using their favorite eq software to do this adjustment, and tweaking response to taste. There are many examples in the thread I pointed at.
No headphone totally satisfies me with respect to bass -- there's no "body feel". With that said, I love these "head speakers". It is really like sitting in a really extreme nearfield setup. :)
Cerebrate!
