I'll bring my laptop in too just in case.

You guys have to fix these quotes. I'm so confused.

I say it with the A too, but funny enough say EE-on for the Aeon flow. Doesn't seem to be a right or wrong way to say it.

Yeah it makes sense that the tubes would lend more air. I've got an OTL in mind to pair with either the Aelous or Auteur for that specific reason (only have a CTH on hand for now), am a big fan of reverb when done right. I guess my decision now is whether the air or the slam is worth it between...

I think something may have gotten lost in translation here. I'm aware of how wet the Auteur sounds, specifically the Teak wood that I heard at Axpona. In your comparisons you usually mention how the Auteur has more air relative to the Aelous. I didn't mean to imply that the Auteur was dry in any...

Yo @Monsterzero is the Auteur usually always airier? If so is the Aelous less dry with your Glenn OTL? I'm kind of caught in the middle as I love airy mids. I'd prefer the elevated mids of the Aelous but if the Auteur's are always more wet I may go that route instead. I'm also curious what a...

This is directly related to Hans' comparison. I guess we shouldn't do those in here either...

Yeah it's pretty split about the pads & I believe Abyss said they'd be making new ones for the Diana. But that was before the Diana Phi was announced with said larger pads - at a $1000 mark up to boot. I have a lot of hair, wear glasses, & ear rings (studs) so they'll probably be a tricky fit...

I'm guessing this was with the universe pads, which don't trade treble for upper mid range like the others? Also I really hope the Diana or Diana Phi doesn't have that large of an upper mid range dip compared to the regular Abyss. It's seemingly the only planar that checks all my boxes for a...

There's been 4 of us explaining why. Other people who have heard it wouldn't describe it that way, that's been consistently the point. Anyway I keep revisiting the measurements & am becoming more afraid of that upper midrange dip. I hope when I listen it doesn't bother me as much as the graphs...

There's supposed to be 55 of us at ZMFestivus in a few weeks. I think the hype train will start to chug once we all get back.

It's absolutely not true that attack/detail have nothing to do with the tuning though. Zach himself said he listened to the Utopia while tuning the Verite & it was a large part of why he picked Be for the driver in the first place. Where he said this isn't allowed to be posted here, but if you...

The Elear was just the best example that came to mind of why that definition isn't really valid anymore. Like I said earlier I'm not trying to be a pain in the behind about it, but at least now hopefully you can see where I was coming from.

There in lies the problem. The Elear is one of the most aggressive tunings I've heard too despite its upper midrange dip. It sprints through most of its frequency response with reckless abandon, tripping up pretty harshly in the upper mids, but then stumbling quickly back into its pace for the...

Glad I wasn't the only one. @Hansotek the Elear has one of the most recessed upper midranges I've ever heard. Would you consider that headphone "laid back" too?
