    ATTICUS and EIKON, the new dynamic driver headphones from ZMF

    Both are fantastic, I think the Eikon has better timbre overall, but some people prefer the presentation of the Atticus and have described it as more exciting. I find the Eikon to be quite good for jazz though the rest of the genres you mentioned are ones that I seldom listen to so I won't...

    The Stax Thread III

    Comment by 'kid vic' on listing 'Kevin Gilmore Grounded Grid (KGGG - Soren Brix build) PRICE INCLUDE SHIP/PP'

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Cambridge audio CXN -> Musician Audio Pegasus -> Stax SRM-007T -> Stax L500 mk2 Really pleasantly surprised at how well the Stax combo is handling golden age hip-hop. The L500 is a surprisingly solid all-arounder
