Audeze EL-8 Titanium?
I don't believe the cypher cable will be available for sale out of the titanium. Tidal is great, but honestly, the convienance of Apple Music on apple devices is too hard to ignore.- trentrosa

Audeze EL-8 Closed Version Impressions Thread
Yes, for example the crack is especially intolerable. That's understandable considering it was designed without the notion of driving planars. I certainly wasn't expecting them to pair well. Another thing I'm going to have to look into is upgrading the headband padding, as the top of my head...- trentrosa

Audeze EL-8 Closed Version Impressions Thread
Just received my el8 closed backs. Coming from a pair of HD650s, I have a few initial impressions. Firstly, they are stunningly gorgeous and of a high quality, especially next to the HD650s.

Auditioned a pair today. I did not find them to be particularly efficient. My iPhone 6 with the volume cranked didn't drive them to a loud enough level. I also found them to be more of a boring, flat sound, but that's my own preference. Mind you, if they had been properly amped and with more...- trentrosa

Who here is a high school audiophile?
In regards to the above setup, I would probably place the speakers a little closer to the wall and ditch the subwoofer, then angle them to perfectly face the chair. If I insisted on using the sub, i would place it in front of the chair.- trentrosa
