    Focal Listen Professional

    Reading your two comments, I'm starting to wonder if my FLP does not have a problem x) The pros seem to have more of a mid-bass (?) boost and a general boost to the mid-ranges. The treble is nerfed like crazy.{quote] Alas, I'm not alone =)

    Focal Listen Professional

    Hi there. Just changed from Spirit Pro to Listen Pro due to the cracking plastic syndrom. To be brief, compared to the Spirit Pro...well there is nothing to compare. They, or at least the model I receive, have a completely different sound signature. The Listen pro is way more bassy, deeper low...

    bwah, seems like my message disappeared.   Thank you XenHeadFi for the information. FYI, bith wire are 27AWG (I asked them a long time ago, about the only thing I can remember). I thought this would be thin enough to be flexible/soft, but I will follow your advice and pick something...

    DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    Hello there,   A long time ago, I wanted to custom made my own cables following the DIY gallery on this site but did not have time. Now that I have, could you confirm me that using http://gothamcables.com/en/gothamcables/installationanalog/10122gac2minifrnc would be good for an interconnect...

    Hi there :    I possess those for over a year now and all I can say is what I just wrote to Focal after-sales team :   - : Rather poor arch (arc, branch?) easily breakable.   + : Everything else. Flat wide and accurate sound, Good after-sales team, comprehensive, reactive. Arc broken, sent...

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

    I don't want to enter into scientific considerations, but when something is build from scratch, the components need to "adapt" to their new environment. As Baycode said, sometimes they adapt a lot, sometimes a little, sometimes almost none. Do electronic components evolve? Yes. they do. Does it...

    Nothing much really, just using the device so that the component "work". It's like running in a car. So that all get smooth :)

      Computer (ALC1150 separated circuit) > NX1 > Focal Spirit Professional   Hope you will enjoy it Eisenbricher.   P.S.: Two things I wanted to add but forgot: - This, in my opinion but I may be wrong, did not shape the response curve. My FSP still sound flat, with better bass. - When...

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

    @H20 & al. Just received my NX1, packaging was kinda wrecked and opened, plug-in cable is a short white one, was kind of disappointed. The amp in itself now. I will have to burn it in and give it a deeper insight but I tried it with an old classic recordings and my first impressions are those...

    DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    Just to be sure and not do something stupid, if I get this for my mini "3.5 - 3.5" IC (still hesitating between cables), may I solder the shield to the ground only or should I get a separate cable (like in a quad cable) to get the ground? I know this is the way to go for a "3.5 - RCA" IC but a...

    Thank you JacobLee89 for the answer. So for you a Mogami, Gotham, UF-OCC or whatever else is the same? If this is really the case that's good to know - way less expensive cables.   edit: @creatip: the cables are filled with 0.11mm² wire (~27AWG). I thought it was sufficient. What size would...

    DIY Cable Questions and Comments Thread

    Hi there.   I'm planning to DIY my interconnect between my portable amp and my clip, but cannot find any bulk cable - like this one - around there (France) Though, I was wondering if that kind of cable (seen in a specialist's shop) would be good or if it was not the good cable. Sorry for the...

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

      Yup, I was more hesitating because of the sound quality improvement, because, as you mentioned, my FSP is only 32ohms and the clip and my computer are driving them easily and the sound is already very good. Though, I can notice a slight difference between the two at low levels. I think I...

    TOPPING NX1 Portable Headphone Amplifier Impressions Thread

    Eventually looking for a portable headphones amp I stumbled on the NX1 and was wondering if it would fit well with - and be of any interest - a Focal Spirit Professional coupled with a Rockbox'd clip+ or my computer (ALC 1150). Anyone?   Thank you for the impressions or the indications you ill...

    Focal SPIRIT PROFESSIONAL Impressions thread

    Hi there.   Have them for a couple of months now and I have been considering buying a portable amp like the Topping NX1. Is this a good idea or is this throwing money out of the window, for the FSP drives perfectly without? FWIW, I am mostly listening to them with my computer or my Sansa...
