Seller reserved the item for a couple days while I transferred the $$ - responsive, fast shipping, item arrived better than described, would definitely buy from him again. Thanks!

Thanks!

…nevermind, I see it has been incorporated into USR EQ settings, and no longer a “global” option. I actually like that better, I suppose.

Maybe I missed it, but I can't seem to find the Crossfeed option anymore…?

Good evening - what forms of payment do you take? PayPal?

Yes - Focal Clear is another great, currently sub-$1k.

Hah, I also thought I would “finish my journey” with the Arya Stealth. And yet, here I am, with the HE1000V2 added to my Wish List, just waiting to sell some excess gear to pull the trigger…

As I understand, it is the same except the cable and color. There may be a difference in the pad design, they both measure slightly different. But otherwise same chassis & drivers.

I just got a DVD player in to finally rip an old Woodstock ‘94 CD set to FLAC. I must have bought this album 3x in my lifetime, the first time on cassette in the mid-90’s. Primus “Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers” and NIN “Happiness in Slavery” are two of the highlights, as well as Melissa...

How is the battery on the BTR15? I've seen some reviews that it lasted less than an hour in USB mode…

I have the Arya Stealth, and demoed the Arya Organic, HE1000V2, and HE1000SE. Each was an incremental step above the previous version. I'm planning to upgrade to the HE1000V2, it was the best “bang for the buck” of the three I demoed - I'd say it is 95-98% the HE1000SE at just over 2/3 the price.

Some good info on EQ settings for the RT/Closed X are on ASR.

…one note, the Aeon Closed X are closer to the Aeon RT than the Aeon Closed 2. So if you find any comparisons between the RT and the Noire, the Closed X are basically an RT with a different cable. But at the end of the day, I demoed the Noire with the idea of selling my Closed X and...

I stole this from Moon Audio, but I agree with their assessment: AEON 2 Closed: Sound: Warm side of neutral More present midrange More relaxed treble Tight, punchy, impactful bass More intimate soundstage Genres: Rock and Roll, Blues, Folk, Country, Classical, Jazz AEON 2 Noire: Sound...

Moondrop Variations? They were just on sale for Black Friday (~$450).

If I had to own only one pair under $300, the Timeless would probably be my choice. Lightweight, wearing the Timeless is comfortable even for long periods, and the shape of the shell fits perfectly in my ears. It has the right amount of insertion. Isolation is ok, not as good as the Mangird...

I own the DROP + DCA AEON Closed X, and I demo'd the DCA Aeon 2 Noire. My impression - I would give them both a B+, but the Closed X are 1/2 the price (regularly $429 or less). Noire is closer to Harman, with a bit more bass and treble. With EQ (I use a Lokius), that difference is massively...

What about the HE1000V2 do you like over the Stealth? I picked up the Stealth right when it came down to $999, and demo'd the HE1000V2 for about 10 minutes but was not able to do an AB comparison... Also curious how they sound with the WA7; I have a WA6-SE (2nd gen) on the way.
