The Larch, that cable look too badass for portable usage. I'm thinking of modifying the Westone custom monitor cable with 3.5mm jack on both end. That will be truly portable.
I would love to read a comparison between these and the T50p
So far, the TMA-1 sound more natural than the T50p in general. They're richer, fuller, with great midrange and some nice timbre. Bass is more controlled, textured, and less boomy on the TMA-1. T50p sound more confined, boxy, than the TMA-1, soundstage is better on the TMA. The T50p sound leaner in comparison, their treble is more sparkly and a bit more refined, and they got maybe a bit better transient response, they're a bit 'faster', seem to smear notes less together - mind you, I got only 15 hours on the TMA-1, some things are bound to change the more I get accustomed to them.
Also, the TMA-1 are really, really efficient/sensitive phones - they go LOUD. All of Beyerdynamic's marketing blah blah about 'Tesla Technology' doesn't really mean anything when one compares the two phones' efficiency in reality.
