As a publication KitGuru places a lot of focus on ?gaming grade? headphones priced between £60 and £150, however from time to time I like to delve into the high end ?audiophile? market to see what is available, particularly if money is not a concern.

In 2014 I wrote an article about the best headphones that money can buy (HERE (http://www.kitguru.net/site-news/highlights/zardon/best-headphones-money-can-buy-2014/) ) and in recent years I have also reviewed the Abyss 1266 (HERE (http://www.kitguru.net/site-news/highlights/zardon/abyss-1266-headphone-review/) ), as well as other high end headphones from brands such as Sennheiser and Grado.

This article today is focused around the synergy between amplifier and headphone and the four setups I have chosen for this article are to my mind some of the best that money can buy. There is about £70,000 of equipment on test today
