The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
... and how much better is really AB-1266 TC than CC Phi? Can anybody tell the difference in money? I am considering paying 800 (USD) extra for a TC. Or should I skip Abyss all together - and buy Meze, Hifiman or Audeze? Advice!- cerol

AUDIOVALVE SOLARIS: a super LUMINARE ?
I am a very content owner of the Solaris, which drives very well my Audeze LCD-4 and Abyss 1266 CC Phi, phones which I suppose are not easier to handle than the Susvara (which I never have listened to though, only had HE-1000, now sold ). For those phones I have my volume knob only at 9-10...- cerol

AUDIOVALVE LUMINARE: an Universal Headphone Amp with three operating modes: Low Impedance / High Impedance (OTL) and STAX
In June 2016 I changed my Luminare to the Solaris (Mr.Becker made the change easy) and that was a Dream coming true. Since I alternatingly use STAX and some other planarmagnetics (Audeze, Hifiman, Abyss) this was a most practicable solution, the sound beeing full and warm, yet very detailed...- cerol

AUDIOVALVE SOLARIS: a super LUMINARE ?
SOLARIS , my final SOLUTION!. Since I started preferring listening to music via headphones (my first was HD650) my collection has grown a lot: Stax 007 mk2 (with amp 727) was long my favourite until I was impressed with HD800 greater sound stage (now exchanged for HD800S) and also got an...- cerol

Sennheiser HD800S Unveiled!
Since you, like me, live in the EU (still a little time) I would absolutely reccomend ForzaNoir HPC Mk2 for HD800S - I ordered it for my Hifiman HE-1000 V1, as well as a Noir Hybrid for the Abyss, both terminated with XLR 4-pin. The Lenght 1,5 is enough when sitting rather close to the...- cerol

Mal Valve and the greatest headphone amps on EARTH!
Hallo bmichels! I have no reason to believe that Malvalve is "on decline" but perhaps it is not very busy. I wrote to Dieter Malach (you can get a glimpse of him on Youtube where he is demonstrating on a Munich High End show) about a year ago. He answered very nicely and offered a buy "on...- cerol

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
Nice to read this, as I just bought Audeze LCD-3 F and now can reject the temptation of the ridiculously priced Abyss. But in my Collection (HD800, Koss ESP950) I still find STAX the best (SR 007.II + SRM 727). Sometimes I Think of upgrading to STAX 009 - but then I have to persuade myself that...- cerol

masters sx-3000BD! Can drive both electrostatic and dynamic headphone together
I am rather interested in such a versatile amp, that can handle both electrostatics (SR007) and dynamics (HD800, HE500, LCD3). To my knowledge there is only the German MalValve Headamp three which can do this very well. This Masters SX-3000BD should cost about a third of MalValves price. But...- cerol

Two Germans for HD800?
Hello Alfi127 Your situation is somewhat similar to mine: Some 3 years ago I tested some headphones with a friend , among other HD800, STAX 007 with the STAX amps (tube 007 and solid state 717). I liked the ss amp best - the tube amp was too "wooly" and unclear for my ears. But this year I...- cerol

Two Germans for HD800?
For music-only I use STAX 007 with the amp SR-727 on the first floor of my house. Now I want the best possible sound while watching Bluray/DVD with my Oppo BDP105/Samsung TV on the second floor. Therefore i have bought Sennheisers HD800, which I suppose could sound even better (i.e...- cerol
