I’ve been wanting to try the Tungsten, but the ordering window opens at 3AM my time, and by the morning, they’re always sold out. Is there anyone in Australia interested in swapping their Tungsten for a demo with another headphone? I’ve got the Nan6&7, HE500, HE6 OG, Arya Organic, HE1000...

Not sure I took any when I did it. I’ll have a look, but if I don’t report back then I didn’t…

I've tried a few more since, but the Dekoni hybrids and Yaxi Alcantara remain my top picks. They both tend to give it a more V-shaped sound, dialing back the mids forwardness a bit. The soundstage feels similar, though it might seem a bit more 'diffused', likely due to the velour/alcantara...

Purchased from Minidisc Chatswood in January 2024. These are flawlessly new and in perfectly working condition. RRP $679. Comes with original box and accessories. Selling because I don't like the fit and have other headphones. Pickup from 2138 or shipped at the buyer's cost.

Bought from Hifiman for modding but never got to it, hence for sale. In brand new shape. Never used or worn. Great for replacement or upgrade for Hifiman Ananda/Edition XS etc.

Bought from Linsoul in July 2023, so plenty of warranty left. Receipt available for warranty purposes. Works perfectly and is in near new condition. Comes with original box and accessories.

Withdrawn due to pending elsewhere

Thanks Matt, I really enjoyed our listening session. I agree about the Ultimate, its mids are indeed something special, perfect for vocals. For the Odyssey and the Oblivion, it's remarkable how each has its own character while still both on an excellent technical level. Those are three top-tier...

In excellent near new condition kept in smoke-free pet-free home. Pads and headband are clean. SOLD ELSEWHERE

Here's how my pair looks. ;) Not sure if the unit Crin got was from one of the early batches (with the old headband). FR is a bit different, but then again possibly due to different rig used and positioning etc. Midrange timbre on these is simply amazing... probably the best among flagship...

Headphones in excellent near new condition, the wooden cups are spotless with no scratches/dents or any other cosmetic defect. Sold elsewhere.

Phil was a pleasure to deal with in every way. Prompt payment and great communication. Would defintely recommend! :)

That's great to hear... but hey, I was wondering if you'd have the 1266 for me to borrow! XD Sure Matt, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts about the HE500 OG when you give them a longer listen.

Looking forward to your Susvara vs. LCD-5 comparison on the Ultimate. ;)

Great buyer, paid promptly and great to chat with. Legend.

That 'row seat' analogy is spot on... Can't wait to hear your thoughts on how the Audivina pairs with these amps!

Whoa, that's quite a bit of technical details that I don't entirely get yet, but thanks heaps for sharing your journey with the Ultimate. If I ever decide to snag an amp from Eric, I'll definitely be referencing your post here, haha. Ah that's right. I wasn't really clued in on all the...

P.S. the Odyssey is also superb, though it feels a bit overkill for most of the headphones I use. That said, I really liked the bass weight and authority that came with it. These big boys are way out of my budget though as someone who primarily uses headphones, and I really like how the wooden...

Had an awesome day over with @xtiva at @UntilThen's place. Thanks to his generousity we had a chance to check out a wide range of headphones and amps. Here are my two cents: The wooden Ultimate was my pick of the day, and I gotta say, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Sure, it's got that...

In great condition. Comes with original leather box, carrying case, cable, and accessories. Headband and ear pads are clean and kept in smoke-free home. Also throwing in an extra pair of aftermarket leather Focal pads. Local pickup from Sydney or shipped at buyer's cost.

As promised, here's the FR measurements for the Allen Ribbon headphones: Impressions so far (with stock pads): - while overall tonality isn't awful, the upper treble dagger is just too much to take for me - that bass though... is addictively punchy and fast, undoubtedly the best thing about...

I've been able to source one of the Allen Ribbon headphones. Will post measurements when they arrive. :wink:

Great head-fier and honest trader. Good communication and fast shipping. Recommended.
