I think a lot of people define dark as being, not bright. I've always considered my WA6 2nd gen as neutral sounding.

I think you've already answer your question.

Beyerdynamic T90 - 1st generation.

Found some tubes that won't be used and feeling generous. The first to DM their mailing address (within the contiguous 48 please) will receive an early Christmas present. Very cheap way to roll some tubes in your Gen 2. Congratulations Tralfaz! They're headed your way.

Yes, different setups can have different sounds. If I want to listen to big, spacious, and musical - I go to my music room and do so with a different set of headphones. If I just want to jam - I plug directly into my laptop or phone. The sound card on my laptop isn't pushing any amount of...

Original pads are replaceable. They are glued to the OEM mounting ring. I had to sacrifice the original pads in order to re-use the mounting ring with my new pads as Dekoni doesn't offer an after-market mounting ring for the Closed Backs.

FLAC files on a dedicated computer into a Teac UD501, Topping E70 or Topping E70V then sent to a Topping L70, Woo WA6, or a Rotel Component system feeding a VinylFlat Can Opener. Lossless play with no DSP. The Sundara CB is a dark sounding headphone to me. No DSP either when plugged into the...

Feeling Proggy with my Sundara Closed Backs...

After owning the Sundara Closed Back for a couple of weeks, I've had time to try them with different amps and DACs. I can't say that I've heard any difference between the 3 DACs I currently own. What I have noticed is the difference between my three amps. When played through the two...

As you can see in the picture below, I have what could be considered 5 different ways to power my small collection of headphones. I've been trying the different configurations available over the past couple of weeks and have come to the decision that I like them all but for different reasons...

Thanks! Bought the Vincent about 10 years ago.
