What is the weight of PARA planar headphones?

"Sub-bass sounds are the deep, low-register pitches below approximately 70 Hz and extending downward to include the lowest frequency humans can hear, approximately 20 Hz". This is what separates the HD660S from the closed Fostex TH900 and X00 ebony, or planars like LCD-2 and HE-6, or TOTL...

I'm mostly familiar with 1 gen. version (and it's quite bright), but also listened to 2 gen. with Sennheiser HDV820 in the store. By brightness here I didn't mean the overall lighter sound presentation, but rather the tingling of emphasised 8 kHz region. Cymbals, sibilants, etc. are too...

I would say that the comfort is close to the HD660S level, only there is even less pressure on the head. The ear pads are not oval, but round, a little smaller and with good depth, they are slightly denser than the Sennheiser ones, but the pressure is moderate and they're heating you less. The...

Received them 3 days ago. They still continue to amaze me with their openness and depth of the sound stage, resolution and realism. I consider it an excellent upgrade after my HD660S. Interestingly enough, they sound full and beautiful with any music, even with the current not very powerful...

Is it worth upgrading from SDA-2 to SDA-6? Does SDA-6 have a similar slightly warm sound signature, or is it a more analytical sounding DAC like RME ADI-2 for example? Thanks for your comparison. That settles my choice, since I listened to D90 and preferred Singxer SDA-2 for less analytical and...

Happy user since 2018. Many years ago I started my hobby with the HD600. After trying a lot of headphones, I ended up going back to Sennheiser :)

Fostex has no analog inputs, only RCA line out and headphone outs. Inputs are only optical toslink and USB. USB can work through OTG with android devices, but I don't know about Apple. By the way, I like the sound from the computer with Win10 more than from the android smartphone. I think using...

Sorry, I confused the graphics of the new and old versions. In this case, not everything is so bad. It's interesting to read more of direct comparisons of T1.2 and T1.3.

7-9kHz peak looks insane. The dip on 5kHz seems pretty huge too.

Check it out first Topping D90 was good via USB input, but I heard that Ares doesn't have the best USB implementation, and other inputs are better choice. From my expirience D90 isn't soothing at all, it's dynamic, agile and punchy. The D70 is certainly more soothing and relaxed sound. I won't...

I'm very interested in this comparsion. Is A18 on the same level as Singxer? And does it have the same fascination and musicality? For example I like fullness of bass and midrange of Topping's D70 a bit more, but dynamics and HF definition of A18 are better. I wonder is SDA-2 have fuller bass...

I like sound with supplied power supply more, it's more dynamic. Linear power supply is okay, but there is problem with a non-standard power connector, it had to be changed to a suitable one or you have to use 5.5 x 2.1mm Female to 6.0 x 4.4mm Male adapter. You may also try iFi Audio iPOWER...

I decided to stay with D70, because with it the sound of my system is nicer/mellower for my ears. D90 is more dynamic and percise, has stronger attack on bass and midrange, because of this, the presentation becomes more crispier and in your face (maybe a bit more resolve though). D70 in...

Sure! The splitter itself is great. I just have a special preference for the weight of the headphones.

I've been using Noir HPC Mk2 with my Sennheiser HD660S for a long time. It's perfectly built, still looks like new. The only drawback for me was the high weight of the splitter, so I just removed it with the help of a specialist. I compared this cable to Silver Dragon, one DIY silver cable, and...

You must update your firmware to solve volume knob problem. Contact the seller to get firmware update tools.

Hi guys. I have 3 pairs of JJ Electronics E88CC. And each one sounds different. Stock plain JJ's are great overall, but with a less resolution. Gold-pin's have great resolution, but with specific darker mids presentation (interesting though) and boosted low bass. And third plain JJ's are too...

Has anyone tried linear power supply with this amplifier? I tried one from ebay, there are pros and cons. Images are larger and closer, the bass is more powerful, but there is some kind of smoothness of transitions. A standard power supply provides more driving sound and nerve to the vocals.

For fun tried MUSES8920 opamp. Less lower bass, bumped midbass, mids have less body, highs are slightly highlighted. Defalut OPA2134 remains the best, balanced fullbodied sound. 1.5 years after purchase still love this DAC :L3000:

Anyone tried aftermarket cable? Is standard cable good enough?

Hi guys! Could you recommend the most lightweight cups for Fostex? Mine Ebonies are too heavy for my neck :head_bandage:

Ebony cups are so heavy, my neck suffers :floatsmile: I'd like them to weigh a little less.

Check out this thread https://www.head-fi.org/threads/audio-technica-at-ha22tube-in-depth-review.788625/ I'm using mine without cover, it looks better. I'm tried Genelec and Tesla NOS tubes, and found that stock tubes better overall, more neutral and balanced sound. Genelec is more dense and...

Yeah, RCA-output volume can be adjusted on Fostex, but I recommend to set it to max when using with external amp for best sound quality. But if you use something like AC amplifier (w/o volume control) you can easily use Fostex like preamp. AT-HA22TUBE gives me what I want for Fostex sound...
