There are minimal inconsistencies with the batches of retooled blacks that they've had made thus far - the first two batches seem slightly better than the more recent ones; that said, they're still far more consistent than vint blacks and about as smooth. I'd say that if we take it as the very...

Bit late to the party but firstly, great chapter and I can't wait to see what comes of this page you guys are turning with the Lyr 3. Here's what I personally care the most about - I'd want a new full tube amp (akin the Valhalla, but not a Valhalla seeing as you said it won't work no matter...

Whilst I do not particularly agree with the way @lugnut worded his opinion, I think your approach isn't particularly healthy or accurate either. People do lose track of the value of money at times and that's never a good thing, as has been proven many a time by economies and empires falling to...

Glad to hear the Espressivo is now up to the Elise's standard at least - I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to tube rolling and I definitely do not own a big arsenal of them like some people do so having a better offering out of the box is actually more beneficial to me. Yet I'd have no...

Wow, I've been out of the loop for a while as I've had no budget to indulge myself in upgrade-land when it comes to audio related gear of late - as a prospect Elise buyer now that my financial situation is recovering I almost went into anaphylactic shock upon checking their website you linked...

It's not really the same, or maybe your AC is just much better than mine, but I live in an extremely hot and very humid area and despite our AC it still gets uncomfortable more often than not to wear full sized headphones all day. That's why Audeze's iSines are the most useful gimmick I've...

LOL

Beautiful. Way too expensive for me though, especially if they're just 800(S) drivers with a pair of gorilla glass tupperware lids on either side; I'd say we should reserve this sort of judgement for when Sennheiser actually announces the drivers inside of these and discloses why these cost...

Agreed; the main "contenders" within that bracket are gonna be the ÆON (open), the new AR planars and maybe the LCD2C (if they don't mess it up)/the Elear if it comes down in price for good. I doubt the Sundara is trying to compete there, at least I personally am not ecstatic about the idea of...

If you cannot reach a consensus on which ones of those are neutral and which are not, someone's trolling you real hard and/or you haven't read enough reviews and impressions. The LCD-2 (especially without fazor) are not neutral and are complete, polar opposites of the HD800 (and 600, to a lesser...

I'm so incredibly relieved. Unreal support from all of us, 24k in just a couple days is amazing.

I'm very comfortable sharing the fact that Mo is the one absolute most helpful, down to earth and all around stellar human being I have met within this community and hobby as a whole. My dismay reading the gofundme page, I know how passionate he is about wrestling and I cannot believe what...

Silly thing to say, really. You can disagree with Tyll all you want but fact of matter is he was listening to headphones before many of us were born and his expertise is not only inarguable but also based on the (in my opinion) most impressive measuring rig in the community. His opinions and...

I'd like official word on this too from @Audeze but from people I trust I've been told they feel like 400g~ max.

Interesting, thank you for sharing, according to their website it seems they don't have a definite launch date yet and they'll be available some time in Spring - good price, though, interesting sound signature and they look pretty cool.
