I finally received my C Flows after a long wait. The team at Mr. Speakers must be hard at work because mine were built on October 25
th, and I received them on 28
th. The C Flow are different from the original C model I had the opportunity to listen to 5 months ago. The original was unique, but I hesitate to say that the Flow is automatically better.
This is the first planar magnetic that I’ve owned since the LCD2 pre-fazor that I owned in 2009. The Ether is pleasantly light for a planar headphone.
I don’t own a quality DAC or amp, so I can’t offer any quality sound impressions. The headphones are efficient, and can run off an iPhone to a decent volume level.
The only other possible concern is with the carbon fiber. I haven’t owned any carbon fiber goods before. I see white flecks of something that looks like lint above the weave. Is this normal? Can you polish them out?
