HiFiMan Susvara
For $8k, the new pair of TOTL cans from Hifiman better be astounding. I hate that $8k is becoming the new standard for TOTL cans. Sh!t is really getting out of hand. But, it makes sense from a business perspective. If the new Hifiman really is better than the Sus, then it should cost more...- Ciggavelli

I was listening to some old Kyuss, stoned and drunk. The Headspace is a good amp. I'm probably gonna buy as a transition amp, until I get something better. But what occurred to me, was as audiophiles, we really only care about small changes. Like is this Headspace really that much different...- Ciggavelli

The Headspace sounds better with rap than it does metal, but it's still very good with metal. I need to do more testing.- Ciggavelli

It's very good. I need to A/B against the WA33 EE JPS more, but the Head Space is blacker with better bass, the WA33 has better 3D sound. The Head Space sounds better with the TCs than the Sus, but I need more experimentation still. I'll try both out for the next week- Ciggavelli

If Hifiman releases a new pair of TOTL headphones, and it's not the Sus 2 (or so I've come to understand), what can they do? TC-level bass in a traditional wearing style, easier to drive, a tad more resolution? What else can they do? They are already fast, they already have good bass (but not...- Ciggavelli

So rumors are swirling about a new Hifiman TOTL pair of cans. Immanis level pricing. I'm very intriqued. Can they top the Sus...we'll see....- Ciggavelli

I'm not sure, but I will try to look into it. Just the bass boost from this amp is more than with the CFA3. It's also quieter, soundfloor-wise. I don't know why. I haven't even tried a preamp with it. It's just a good sounding amp. I'm real impressed, and for the price, I'm gonna be a...- Ciggavelli

I had it for a couple months while my WA33 EE JPS was being built. On the stock tube, I didn't like it. It sounded muddy with very fast passages. Apparently, that can be fixed with another tube, but I don't know. I liked the WA33 better. 🤷♂️- Ciggavelli

Yeah it's the headspace amp. I like it a lot. It's better than the CFA3 by some margin.- Ciggavelli

My girlfriend is in China until late June. It's been hard, and it's still a month away :cry: . I'm trying moderation with alcohol. Only 4 drinks a day. It's been going kinda well, but of course I want more. I need to bring it down to 2 drinks a day, and then only drinking on special...- Ciggavelli

I was hoping Chord would treat them equally. Still $15k is much better than $30K 🤷♂️ :pill:- Ciggavelli

So, I've been fukching with solid state a lot recently. This new Danacables amp and the CFA3. The soundfloor is non-existent. So much more authority with the bass. I like the cleaner sound, and this without a tube preamp, which would probably help even more. Solid state might be the answer...- Ciggavelli

$12K is exactly what I thought it would cost. Much easier pill to swallow than the alternative, if you have a DAVE. I may just wait on this instead of spending $30k on a different dac.- Ciggavelli

Yo, this Danacables Amp is hitting hard. It's called the Headspace. It might be hitting harder than my CFA3. It's small too, but only RCA, which is fine because my VM-1a is only XLR. Solid State might be the way to go for me going forward. It sounds really good, and there's no preamp on it...- Ciggavelli

I'm not a big fan of Christian music, but I see what you are saying. There is positive aggressive music out there. I need to try and get myself to get into it though.- Ciggavelli

Also, I've come to realize that anybody telling you that the Sus or TCs aren't the answer is making a judgement based on bad faith :beyersmile: I've owned everything (except for the Imannis...still waiting), but the Sus and the TCs are the answer. Everything else is a compromise. If somebody...- Ciggavelli

It probably healthier and what not. I'm about health, but also not about health at the same time. I make beats, which I think are pretty good, on my phone. That outlet is nice. It's just that negative music has helped me through the hard times, so I'm not really ready to let it go just yet...- Ciggavelli

Somebody else close to me recommended running. Thing is, my lungs are fukced. I can't run, but I can walk. I can workout just fine, because it's just a minute of intense pushing. Then I can catch up for a minute and do another set. Running might be too much for me. My life might be coming...- Ciggavelli

To keep in music related, I've been listening to nothing but negative hip-hop and satanic metal the last few days. Nothing but negativity. I don't even understand the positive side of things. Just satan and drugs/alcohol. I might die soon, so, this is probably not the way to live. But, fukc...- Ciggavelli

Moderation seems like the good answer. Being completely sober is terrible; it ruined my life :deadhorse: But being drunk all the time is also bad :deadhorse: I need some place to teach me moderation. That would be ideal. I gotta a problem that needs solving. What that answer is, I dunno...- Ciggavelli

Head-fi is such a better option to sell sh!t than TMR. I just sold 3 headphones in like 4 hours. It's a good community, you just gotta price it low. Low is better than TMR 🤷♂️- Ciggavelli
