Yeah, he thought the TH900 was "too bright." I almost chocked on my food when I read it.

I agree with him that TH900 and TH600 are too bright. But he didn't mean the entire signature is bright, but rather it has too much treble energy. Fostex TH series are overpriced and really don't sound very good.

Off topic- The Enigmacoustics Dharma has my interest, big time.  Part Time Audiophile also really liked it, and said retail will be $1,200 and possible release in March.  I've now refocused my attention squarely on the Dharma.  The only kicker.... will it be necessary to use the Enigmacoustics Athena amp to drive it (being a hybrid electrostat)?
 
The HE-1000 sounds interesting as well, but appears to be priced in the stratosphere.
 
Did anyone here on the forums listen to the Dharma, and if so, can you please provide impressions?

 
 

  any photos/specs of the Dharma? this is the first I'm hearing about it...

 
 

   
+1...Usually Tyll and I have the exact opposite taste (only exception is the Beyer 1350), but that aside, the Dharma looks very interesting. 
 

 
I just started a Dharma thread here, because I too am very interested in this new phone and there doesn`t seem to be any info out there.

Tyll says is honestly, without caring about hurting headphone manufacturers' feelings. He cares about us, consumers.
 
 

 
I like him....

I'd seriously wouldn't say something like that here if you like your username and being able to log into Head-Fi.

 
Wow, and right after Charlie Hebdo...

I'm not sure if you misread my post; the EL8 is definitely bass-leaning, I wouldn't call it bright personally. The T90 is definitely aggressive and bright.

Does it really sound relaxed and bass-leaning? That's the sound I want but from the impressions of others I got the impression that it was bright, lean and aggressive sounding (=terrible sound signature for me).

Too soon. XD

Tyll says it honestly, without caring about hurting headphone manufacturers' feelings. He cares about us, consumers. Besides his and my tastes are very similar. If he doesn't like EL-8, I most likely won't. Bass-light and strident are the worst words for a headphone for me. So I'll pass...

+1.

It wasn't intended as a joke. You seem to be implying that there is no free speech here. That Jude would delete the account of anyone who criticizes the site. I hope you are wrong. I wouldn't want to be part of a site without healthy freedom of expression.

That's something that shouldn't be even mentioned here.

That's something that shouldn't be even mentioned here. jist poor taste. And weak.

Read my previous reply.

I edited my post guys, it was rather inconsiderate. I did not mean to offend anyone. I still think EL-8 will be a fail for me if it has strident and bass-light sound though. I should wait for actual reviews.

bass-leaning = ..... thin bass ?

I auditioned T90, yes they're terrible. Too shrill and has piercing treble.
I was talking about EL-8. I was surprised because general impression has been that EL-8 is bass-light and bright. I do hope you're right though. I'd enjoy a portable planar magnetic.

And I believe you have not been around Head-Fi long enough to know what I implied is almost completely true.
This site is like a private building. You don't get free speech in somebody else's house. You follow their rules.

Are those magnets I see on either side of the wafers? To hold the plugs in?
