    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    Well the Stax Sr 007 mk1 and the sr009 were powered by a blue hawaii. I listened to the HE 1000 out of a WA5 and out of a gsx mk2. The Abyss was hooked into the WA5. I honestly wasn't expecting to like them much and I think thy are ugly. My first thought was "man these are uncomfortable". But...

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    I just got back from a head-fi meet in Austin and I found the Abyss to be my favorite cans there, even among Stax, he 1000 and LCD 4. Color me impressed

    Head-fi Austin - January 23 2016

    Wow I was the same way on my first meet, I was super disappointed with the LCD 2. Later in my second meet I got to try the HD 800 on a Questyle CMA 800i and I was blown away! I was not expecting to be wowed so much by a headphone I kept hearing was "boring" and "clinical" in presentation, but an...

    Head-fi Austin - January 23 2016

    If it's any help, I owned the D5000's, D7000s, LA 7000s, the TH 900 and now the LA 900. Although they were comparable, the TH 900 was in fact clearly better than the modded D7000. For this reason, I would expect the TH-X00 to be better as well. The thing the old modded denon cans have over the...

    Head-fi Austin - January 23 2016

    Meh I tried the HDVA-600 with the HD 800 at one of the Nashville, TN meets and it sounded really clinical. It sounded really balanced, but very boring and lifeless. The Questyle amp was  WAYYYY better and gave life to the HD 800 without sacrificing any sound stage or detail. I would recommend...

    Burson Conductor Impressions thread

    "Upgrade" is a strong word for them to use in this ad, considering the 9018 chip is mostly considered to be the technically superior chip. I myself chose to get the 1793 because of my sonic preferences, regardless I wouldnt call it an "upgrade" over the 9018 necessarily. DIYers might find this...

    Head-fi Austin - January 23 2016

    Im still stoked about all these new cans I'll get to listen to! Does anyone have a questyle amp? That thing with the HD 800 blew me away at the last meet I went to. Both of them are on my "want to buy list" I personally thought it sounded better than any of the Ether setups there (the Ether...

    Head-fi Austin - January 23 2016

    Ive tried it once. SR 009 out of a Blue Hawaii is hands down the best system i have heard thus far. Every note is sooooo powerful. Almost dont even want to hear it again because I just cant afford it.

    Fostex TH900 Impressions & Discussion Thread

    I have owned the D5000 and the TH 900 is an ENORMOUS improvement over them. The TH 900 still has the spirit of the old DXK line, but refined in almost every way. Your bass will not be as boomy and it's presentation is way less energetic, but in a good way. I honestly felt like the D5k and D7k...

    Head-fi Austin - January 23 2016

    Im in the market for a new amp too! What great news! While already having the LA 900, I wanna also get the HD 800 (heard it at a meet, really liked it), but I want one amp that can power both and sonically fit both, which is tricky I would think. Anyways, im really looking forward to this guys...

    Head-fi Austin - January 23 2016

    Nice start! I havent heard a lot of these (Abyss, HE-1000, and LCD-3) so that is already something to look forward to! I filled out the form, and I will be bringing an LA 900 with the Burson Conductor SL 1793 as an amp and DAC. Looking forward to meeting you guys! Yall can call me Gio if you want.

    Burson Conductor Impressions thread

    Glad to hear it! I think what really sets Burson apart from others is the PRaT. The snap of the drums, the deep and powerful bass...music just seems to come alive on this thing in a way I have only experienced on amps that are much more expensive. I ended up getting the 1793 version (i was...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    The HD 800's sound stage is significantly wider than the HD 700, but it doesnt seem like that when I'm actually wearing the HD 700. The sound stage on the HD 700 is still pretty good, regardless of how rediculous the HD 800 is. The biggest difference between the two is found in the detail...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    I have never actually cared for the Audeze line personally. I would much rather have an HD 700 than an LCD 2 rev 1, LCD 2 rev 2, or the LCD X. I personally think there are flagships that are worth the extra money over the HD 700, but if you are happy with it then more power to ya. Examples of...

    Sennheiser HD 700 Impressions Thread

    Are flagships that much better than the HD 700? Thats a really hard question to answer. The only way to know for sure is to find out for yourself. The best way is to go to ONE good head-fi meet. Even after one, you should be able to answer that for yourself. My opinion is that it really depends...

    Music City Meet - Fall 2015 - Pictures & Impressions Thread

    Oh man and someone brought the D7000 AND TH 900? If I would have come and brought the modded LA 900's that would have been a great opportunity for people to test the differences between the 3. Even having owned all 3 at different points, I have never had the chance to compare them side by side...
