Topping EHA5-A Clinical Electrostatic Energizer for the Small Budget - Honest Audiophile Impressions
A BIG thanks to Apos Audio for providing the Topping EHA5 for review, much appreciated. The Topping EHA5 is budget friendly electrostatic energizer that has a lean, clinical sound. How does it compare to the Stax SRM-400s? How does it pair with the Audeze CRBN and Nectar HiveX?

I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.
Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.
