    T+A Solitaire P planar magnetostatic

    Thanks for a very early impression. I would say if you already purchased the Solitaire P, give it more time and play around with it. You might discover why it sounds that way. Personally, i would say this hobby needs an open mind and great endurance. Why? Most of the High-End Equipments sound...

    T+A Solitaire P planar magnetostatic

    The guy that founded T+A 40 years ago studied electro-acoustics given by Professor Fritz Sennheiser, the founder of Sennheiser. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/siegfried-amft-founder-and-president-ta-electroakustic/ I was already out of this headphone hobby for 3 years as i purchased...

    T+A Solitaire P planar magnetostatic

    T+A is one of the most respected High-End audio manufacturers in Germany and have a long history of 40 years. Most of their products fall into the High-end price range. Also, they have a close relationship with Sennheiser (Sennheiser used the T+A PDP 3000 HV as source component for their HE1...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    I would say that 90% of headphone setups on head-fi has lots of "flaws" and these setups have very high noise-floor. IFI is a low-cost solution to "eliminate" these noise (but you also have to give up other things). I really cannot blame them for that because to completely purify the whole...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    The Reason for the Sbooster to make the largest effect is that it's the digital source of your setup which is extremely crucial. As for cables, i still believe in Nordost Cable. Tried several other brands (crystal cable, MIT, analysis plus, high-fidelity...etc) but kept coming back to Nordost...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    At 1st i drove it with the KGSSHV 500v version. Later, i sold the SR-009 to my friend and he built his own amp to drive it. DT-HWT in the STAX thread: https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/the-stax-thread-iii.677809/page-806 My friend designed it to drive the SR-009 because the KGSSHV cannot push...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    My system already fixed the soundstage issue with the Utopia after a lot of effort and investment. Just for the dynamics, transient speed and imaging parts, SR-009 cannot keep up with the Utopia. SR-009 is better in terms of transparency, airiness and its special "ethereal" stage ;). I don't...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    It's only for my circumstance i think. My place is quite humid and dusty, so every time i use the STAX i have to put them back into its wooden box, store in a cool place. Also, still afraid that one day when i put them on my head and yeah...it gets channel imbalance issue. As for the Utopia, i...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    Sure, it varies depending on individual setup. In my case, we tried both headphones using 1 headamp to minimize the variable regarding Amplification. I love the SR-009 sound and comfort also but using it is such a hassle.

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    Your friend is on the right track. In the hi-end and ultra hi-end audio realm, 1st thing to evaluate a setup is the "silence" which means we have to reduce the noisefloor as much as possible. The reason is that our audio conponents are getting more and more detailed and sensitive. If your system...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    Actually, i don't like Planar Headphones (Audeze and Hifiman). Very uncomfortable for long listening session and the way they render human voice is not to my taste, feel like "paper", Not have a full body and texture like hi-end dynamic headphones, not airy like the Electrostatic headphones and...

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    As for the transient speed, my Utopia setup is even faster than the 009. Especially, when testing with tracks like Diablo Rojo above and another track that i like is The Dark colossus destroys all from Nier soundtracks :)

    Focal Utopia General Discussion

    I have the Utopia for around 3 months already and i must say that the Imaging of Utopia is the best that i have heard from a headphone system ( Previously i owned HD800, Stax SR-009 with KGSSHV 500v and auditioned a lot of Hi-End fullsize headphone). The way Utopia recreate the imaging or i...

    Win a SUSVARA

    The reason i want the Susvara is that i would like to compare them to other flagship fullsize cans that i have owned or listened especially the Focal Utopia and STAX-SR009. Recently, i had a chance to listen to the Hifiman HE-1000 v2 which was very impressive, nearly pulled the trigger on it but...

    The FitEar CIEM Impressions Thread

    I think it can be interpreted as 335 sound signature is enjoyable for more people than the JH. I don't think the Layla is bad but just like the HD800, some people don't pick it to enjoy the music. I remember somewhere in the new Canjam thread, a HeadFier give his opinion regarding the Layla as...
