Does anyone know what the WA33 output impedance values are for each of the two settings?

They don't sound the same, but they sound far closer than HE1000se and Susvara. HE1000se is never going to kick in the bass regardless of the chain. Maybe we're having different experiences due to silent revisions? 🤷

None of the eggmen are going to give you a similar experience to Susvara, unfortunately. HE6 is going to be the closest.

HE6se is what you're looking for here!

@Alucard1 I've had the MHA150 for many years and it's been great with Susvara, Abyss, Audeze, Caldera, and Meze planars. The best thing about it is how deep it digs into the lower registers and how effortless it is.

The other day I rediscovered a front damping set from a DCA VOCE while I was listening to the 1266 TC and got curious. The results with black felt are so much better than I expected. The 1266 driver is dynamic enough that every last detail still makes its way through the felt, yet everything...

They look alike, but this is a different amplifier.

Does yours not have 2 screws on each side?

You can get a replacement o-ring at any hardware store. They're not stitched into the head strap, they're very easy to swap!

They're from the same family but they do sound different. I recommend going to a show to listen to them yourself. It's worth the effort to better understand your tastes.

The demo at CanJam Chicago was very nice. I'm currently using Woo Audio WA33 / McIntosh MHA150 and Holo Audio Spring 2 KTE with my 1266.

Oh my way, I'm wearing an RCA dog shirt and an Abyss hat. Looking forward to meeting other headphone enthusiasts!

Thanks for refreshing the EQ topic, I had forgotten to try it the last time I saw it. I prefer stock overall, thought reducing the 1100 Hz range does help the honk in some poorly recorded tracks. For reference, I'm using a 1266 TC / stock cables / base WA33 / AudioQuest Mackenzie / Holo Audio...

I’ll be there, man!
