I've still been enjoying-- to a new level really-- the T1's with my Woo WA3 for classical/orchestral music. The clarity/transparency, detail, soundstage, and balance are just so beguiling and addictive. With classical music, it's completely satisfying for me.

Any thoughts on stock USB cable (comes with DA-160) vs good quality USB cable?. I'm ready to shell out around $50-70 on it just because I don't want to leave any weak link in my audio chain.

 

I have been saving for a high end Headphone audio setup for months now. It will be a big leap for me since I have been using Audio Technica AD700 with Fiio E7 for almost 2 years now.

 

Addictedtoaudio have the T1 for $1099.00 at the moment and they were generous enough to give me a reasonable group discount on top of it as well (which is well appreciated). Getting myself a Woo audio dual headphone stand as well, it just doesn't feel right without it for some reason :p.

 

I have the same feeling I had when I got my first Home Theatre setup years ago (Paradigm Reference Studios fronts, center and sub). Can't wait to listen to Pink Floyd's Dark side of the Moon album on the T1. 

 

T1 had been on my radar for months and I just want to get the best out of them so I'm really hoping the above setup will bring exactly that. Just one more public holiday to go. 

 

As a former owner (and lover) of the Paradigm Reference Studio line (I had the 100s in front and the 20s in back), I know exactly what you mean :)  Welcome to the club! That's some damn nice gear you've chosen!

Happy New Year :). I will post my impressions after giving it at least 2-3 weeks of listening considering first few hundred hours would be equipment burn in.

Glad to know. I loved the Paradigms, had to part with them due to change in circumstances hence the transition in to the headphone world. :)

hi, I just received my T1 from amazon today and while i was testing it for the first 5 minutes or so with my WA6SE, i heard buzzing sound twice on the left size of the headphones even when i turned the volume down. it lasted for a couple seconds each time, this has never happened with the lcd2. may i know if this is considered a defective unit? if not, may i know if there's a way to avoid the buzzing sound? thanks

I'm confused on the buzzing. Is it just an intermittent sound, or is it when you're changing volumes? Does it get louder if the volume is up higher? Does it occur with certain frequencies (like does it show up with bass) ? Did you buy from amazon brand new, or were these used at all?

anybody knows how many t1s have been manufactured so far, i ve mine that are in the 98xx range, so how much far did the current production get, still in the 9xxx or is it in the 10xxx plus? i ve upgraded from the hd650, and what an upgrade that was, wow, i dropped a tear when i first plugged them in my setup, ahhh...

My pair will be here by Friday, hopefully! Since it's break and the hall desk is not open all day chances are the delivery truck will miss the opening hours, and I can't be there all day to wait for it since I have to go to work! :(

i'm not sure if it only occurs in certain frequency, because when i turned down the volume to confirm that if it's part of the music, the buzzing sound was still there and only on the left side. initially i thought that it maybe the jack, so i switched it to the other jack (for low impedence headphones) on the amp but the buzzing is still there. i saw someone posted about the buzzing on the left driver a couple weeks ago here. the headphones were bought brand new from amazon a couple days ago at the price of 980+. should i request for an exchange?

It's tough to say without hearing these, but it almost sounds like a ground loop issue with the amp. Do you have anything else you can plug the headphones into?

Let us know how it turns out! It could be something wrong with the driver itself. Just trying to isolate the problem!

Sounds like a tube. Was your amp still heating up? Tubes can make a sound like that when heating up or cooling down.
