Great to hear your story mate. Congrats. Music, especially at the quality many of us are listening to can really transport ourselves away from the stresses of life. By the way, what power cable did you use for your build.

Thanks for the correction. Edited my original post, it turns out these were tampered/defective drivers and not representative of the usual driver.

Not sure if I’ve ever seen what the 1266 driver/diaphragm looks like. But found a picture on the net for anyone interested. I think they are the only one’s doing single piece one sided magnet structure unlike the row of bar magnets other planar magnet companies use (Eg. Hifiman). EDIT: This is...

It was the best I’ve heard the utopias’ but still wasnt to my liking. But then I never again I never really warmed to the Utopias. Still to bright with the viva. Particularly comparing them to Abyss.

Nice, ill give that a shot

That’s an awesome idea. Though what did you do for the elastic chord (i presume that is what snapped)

Really appreciated your youtube review on the BCL hifiguy

Thank you very much for your responses - the BCL appears to be the winner

Hi all, hopefully i can pick your brains a bit. I have the oppurtunity to purchase a burson ha160 or lehmann black cube linear for roughly the same price. I have a sennheiser hd650. I was wondering if you guys had any idea which I should go for. Many thanks.
