    Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

    My first attempt at making a stand for these babies or anything for that matter, this was a trial run before I break out the pricey wood and glad I did it as I ran into things I did not expect. For the final I am going use Bloodwood and just engrave the logo into that, lights are a bit much and...

    I am actually in my makeshift woodshop trying to design a stand for them. All the ones I have seen to short and I do not like how the wires hit the table surface. Now I will have to make sure the cups have a seal after reading this, just in case :)

    Speaking of reviewers, I forget the podcast but it was one of the more well respected. The guy is interviewing I believe the Focal dude who say something about loving turning down the lights and getting lost in the music. The reviewer/ host was totally taken back and had no idea why he should...

    Definitely start with the volume down but I used mine with the McIntosh MHA 150 in the 150-300 ohm setting and they just came to life. Was great on the lower two settings but wow on the highest was just amazing. Hence why I am putting my pennies away to pick that bad boy up.

    Gratz brother, heaven is just a few days away.! I made the mistake of over analysing at first, wondering if I had wasted 3k and it was not till I chilled out and just let them play that I know they worth every penny.

    I had the Cord Hugo but it had a flakey Jack so I returned it. So what I have left at home is the Pro-Ject S2 box I got as a temp till I find something. The Woo Fireflies with the upgraded tubes which I hated till I got a silver USB cable now they are decent. Other things I tried where Moon...

    I took my Emps on a tour to all the local stores and tried a bunch of gear, the McIntosh 150 stood out in a big way to me. Now everything I have at home seems lacking, I guess I am more concerned that McIntosh is not the Bose of the high-end world. Or can I get something that smokes it for the...

    Ok I am about to do something crazy and pick up the McIntosh MHA150 for my Emps. The price tag for me is massive so before I pull the trigger I figured I'd ask you all if I am being stupid .:)

    That and it brings the sound stage to full center making it more intimate as it slightly smooths the edges, perfect for when you are feeling chill.
