By the way, does anyone have experience with the new perforated pads on the original AB1266? I'm talking about this one.

I faced this problem long time ago. I fixed it by using elastic bands I could readily buy from local grocery store, and wrapped around it with ZMF pilot pads that I happened to have around. The ZMF pilot pad is thick enough for me not to feel the bumps cause by the joints of the elastics. A...

Not coming here for a while ..... glad to see you guys still here :) I'd been thinking of adding a Heartland to my collection. But since I'm moving to a bigger house .... so that will have to wait unfortunately. And yes, I'm still enjoying my Thror Novel (personalized tuning, with more...

If you don't want to use it any more, please kindly let me know :) My collection is still missing a Thekk :)

One little thing: there might be some inconsistency about where the seams are. Most ear pads, including all my Kennerton's ECL-01 and 02, have the seams on the "thin-side" of the pads. However, I noticed that starting with my Thror Novel pads (also a non-perforated, similar to the ones came...

Glad to see the thread back to where it belongs. I talked about the ECL-03 MF pads yesterday (in an attempt to bring the thread back). To quote myself:

I remember seeing your post (the one in your screenshot) a long time ago and tried to search for it in this thread but couldn’t find it. So it was in FA-011AE thread on another website then :)

Getting back to the reason we're all here: Kennerton Headphones (and Music). A few days before the current situation unfolded, I tried this new "angled, non-perforated pads" that came with Rognir Dynamics on the Rognir Planar, and ... OMG .... I really like what I'm hearing, especially the...

One more thing, and this will be the last thing regarding this topic I'll post here. Some might argue that "buying stuffs from a Russian company is like indirectly supporting the war" (I heard this several times elsewhere). As a very small business owner myself; I do honest business and pay...

Since my name was mentioned, I’ll elaborate my $0.02 further. My point in my earlier post has nothing to do with “keep buying” or not. To be very precise: “…. is Russian. Which make you think …” Do we have to “categorically” do this to anyone Russian? Now, simply put: replace Kennerton with...

Does “Having empathy for Ukraine” mean having to hate and boycott everything from every Russian person and company? I don’t get it. Being a person of a country, holding a nationality and citizenship, being a company registered in a country, etc doesn’t mean agreeing with everything its...

Bog Oak & Purple Heart. Odin and Rognir

Finally I got my "pair" of Rognir Dynamics and GH40, in Bog Oak and Brazilian Palisander. Here's RP (in Purple Heart) and RD side by side. No sound comparison. I have no idea if I'll ever do it. (I rarely listen to headphones one after another for comparison, I just mostly enjoy the music...

We will miss you for sure. Come back and visit us some times.

My two important “W” (Wife & Wallet) would insist otherwise. :P

Even though I said I’m done with headphones for a foreseeable time …. I’m still very tempted…..

They sound pretty good. I have yet to do the A/B comparison with the original Vali (or to anything for that matter; just had a first listen last night). However, I do have the measurement for this pair.

So, this was how my Kennerton obsession and acquisition started ... for me: The original Odin and the original Vali; Kennerton’s top planar and dynamic of the time. And this is what "End Game" looks like, for me: The Starry Night Thror Novel and Vali Neoteric; again, Kennerton’s top planar...

Eye candies. When I first commissioned the Starry Night Thror Novel customization, Valentin showed me a few boards of Karelian Birch and let me choose what I like. While I chose the board that eventually ended up being the Starry Night Thror, Valentin chose to stabilized the other boards and...

Didn't think I would one day saying this .... but THIS "Starry Night Thror Novel" is my end-game, literally. I'm done with finding headphones; at least for another long while (except things that already pre-ordered or promised).

I think both Odin and Magister had been discontinued for quite a while. The Odin was superseded by the Thridi ('Odin Thridi'), which also disappeared from the website, so presumably discontinued, even though the simple google search for 'Kennerton Thridi' still leads to a page in Kennerton...

Thanks, Eric. That's pretty much one of the objectives for this tuning.

Not posting anything here a while .... as my last couple months had been busy .... with this .... My latest project with Valentin, for my own birthday present (which was yesterday). "Starry Night Thror Novel" Stabilized Karelian Birch, inspired by Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night painting(s)...

After reading this thread several times … there’s still one question hanging in my head: Is the Oracle closer to Monarch or to Clairvoyance? The thing is: I have the Monarch but not the Clair. If the Oracle is closer to the Clair than the Monarch, it might be worth getting. Thanks.

Congratulation! Truth be told, I'm also had been talking to Kennerton (Ivan and Valentin) about a custom Thror Novel (I planned to get it for my own birthday present in November), with almost exact requirements ... namely - Blue Stabilized Karelian Birch (I mentioned Van Gogh "Starry Night"...
