    New Abyss planar magnetic headphone

    There are not many headfiers who have tried a full setup for both, if for no other reason than finances. It takes about 12k to build a full 009 rig. Meet impressions are discounted imo because it takes weeks to get accustomed to a rig's sound and get over the initial allure of a new sound. Rigs...

    New Abyss planar magnetic headphone

    I too agree that the sr009 has more than enough bass. And i was an owner of the lcd3 for almost a year before i sold it to get the stax. When i first got it though i was disappointed with the bass and so found myself dropping bass oriented music. Then i got my mytek 192 and some nice cables and...

    Calyx FEMTO DAC

    That is interesting. I own the mytek, and i like it alot, so much so that upgrading hasnt really crossed my mind since i got it. The pretty much unanimous praise for the mytek was what got me to buy it afterall. I would love to try the invicta, to see what the deal is, but it seems they are...

    MSB Analog DAC? (Review p3)

    U're considering picking up the ll2 despite having the Electra already, which u obviously prefer over the ll otherwise u wouldn't have sold the ll1. Just purely out of curiosity, why? I am using the ll1 with 009 btw

    Audeze closed-back prototypes! Yeah, this is one of the headphones at the top of my wish list.

    Quote:   it isn't the weight as is the claustrophobic clamp on the head. i think most of the weight rests on the pate of the head anyway. these just need to FEEL lighter on the temples to be alot easier to use for long periods of time. with the lcd3 i thought they made a headphone that...

    Audeze closed-back prototypes! Yeah, this is one of the headphones at the top of my wish list.

    Quote:     the first question that popped into my mind. considering i sold the lcd-3 because of ergnomic preferences I think this would seal the deal for alot of headfiers who've been avoiding the lcd line so far cus they prefer lighter, less obstrusive headphones! i think it's audeze...

    New Audeze LCD3

    Absolutely, I'm just listening to a new RMA set, ad the pads are much fuller and stiffer. And That does wonders for soundstage. I'm actually selling this tomorrow, and am having massive seller's remorse now. If I knew they sounded like this it'd be a much harder decision to sell them even though...
