Focal Utopia General Discussion
I had mine crackling at lower bass 35hz below and testing it using https://onlinetonegenerator.com/ set it as 35hz and crank the volume up slowly until I hear only the right channel is crackling. I tried to contact Marine from Focale and it could possibly not fall under warranty but you may...- tajpapa

Focal Utopia General Discussion
Have you tried switching left <> right? as it could be cable issue on one side of the channel. I've had mine stopping on my right channel while listening but it's only because of the right channel cable connection failure and a small soldering fixed it.- tajpapa

Focal Utopia General Discussion
I'm sorry to hear this. Just curious did you manage to go full blast when listening this back again? I'm wondering why I heard on multiple forum entry (I forgot actually how many) this kind of case. But seems weird that you didn't hear it for a while suddenly it's kaput. If it's the voice coil...- tajpapa

Focal Utopia General Discussion
Hi All, I want to ask is there anyone had exp as above old entry for their Utopia? I just bought it used and it seems there is slightly channel imbalance but not necessarily imbalance it's just that it seems the left channel is not as blooming as the right channel, not as clear. Additionally...- tajpapa

Sonarworks Headphone Calibration software
Wow I'd really like that and very curious how's the sound of Z1R with Sonarworks?? I still love the Z1R for other than acoustic and vocals. For me HD800S has some edge for vocals and acoustics especially with Sonarworks, it's very smooth and full. But don't get me wrong Z1R is still marvelous...- tajpapa

Sonarworks Headphone Calibration software
No going back for me either. Even now I'm only adding headphones collection that's already supported by them. Still waiting for my Sony MDR-Z1R to be supported though, for now I'm just enjoying it with my HD800S- tajpapa

Hifiman Edition X
Hi I've been reading this thread from the start until this last page and been contemplating whether to get HEXV2 for my next compliment of headphones: Z1R, K701, DT880 I really like the Sony Z1R esp the dark nature of it and (imo) a very smooth sounding compared to my other headphones. Build...- tajpapa

The Stax SR-L500 and SR-L700 Impressions Thread
Here in my country every imported goods are being opened and looked upon, not being opened until the goods itself but only until they could see the text/label what's inside and they will google the price. If anyone cheats them, they will impose a hefty tax upon the goods and even they could go...- tajpapa

Stax SR-009 Channel Imbalance Trouble / Driver Problem?
Hi here, is this still a problem. I'm planning to buy a used 009 said to be almost mint condition (for $2700) kept in the box for most of the time. Would I expect the issue will happen to the unit after several years? Spending this kind amount of coins leaves me very worried if this kind of...- tajpapa

The Official Sony MDR-Z1R Flagship Headphone Thread (Live From IFA 2016)
Hi guys, I'm now lurking around this thread ever since I got my Z1R but never post anything. Now I'm curious for a portable/travel setup that has similar sound signature or at least close to Z1R? since I really love the sound sig. I'm not sure whether this has been asked before, sorry if it has.- tajpapa
