Sony Z1R....listening impressions only
The Cu Axios was fantastic, thanks mostly due to its incredible build quality and complex braid geometry. Looking back on it now, I really think material is the most fundamental element, the Silver is a perfect conductor and it makes the copper sound very lower fidelity in comparison, because...- JoshSchiit

Sony Z1R....listening impressions only
Hey mr. fantastic, looks like you're asking about the axios cable, which I have. I used to have the copper axios, but I liked it so much I upgraded to the silver Axios. The quality of the cable is incredible and the no splitter design is very strong and cannot be split unless one is extremely...- JoshSchiit

Sony Z1R....listening impressions only
Bass has better control and there is no loss of bass at all. I’ve tried all three types of Axios and they all have the same amount of bass, some people prefer the copper or hybrid Axios because of the apparent “warmth” of Copper, but with the full silver i haven’t noticed any loss of bass.- JoshSchiit

Sony Z1R....listening impressions only
I absolutely love my Z1R and i just got the perfect upgrade for them. Im not sure where to talk about this but I just acquired the Pure Silver Kimber Kable Axios (Axios Ag). It is a beautiful cable and because it is made of silver, it is more conductive and sounds better than the stock cable. It...- JoshSchiit

HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread
Hi. My listening impressions of Hifiman Arya v2 are that my Hifiman HE400SE sound 99% as good. In other words, the Arya sound is marginally better than the HE400SE sound, and i got HE400SE for $800 less.- JoshSchiit

Okay. yeah there’s definitely something i don’t miss about the diffuse field tuning element, but i think the hd800 sounded quite good even with my favorite genre; rap. I just EQ on spotify on my phone. I didn’t know that about the shelving filter with some EQ.- JoshSchiit

My Arya v2 respond quite well to EQ also. My question is do you EQ with software or hardware like knobs on a device? I never EQ’ed my hd800 i thought they were perfect- JoshSchiit

i guess ur saying the HDVA600 would be good enough for the Arya SE? I think so, it seems to power my Arya V2 very fine, usually im at max volume tho. (which is not that bad)- JoshSchiit

yes im glad that’s clear. maybe the stealth magnets actually take the he400se to a level close to the Arya v2, if u know what i mean. im sure arya SE is very different from my v2- JoshSchiit

thank you. i agree about amps. im getting a lot of the arya’s potential on my setup. i dont like the 400se sound quality as much as the Arya v2 but i just dont think the arya v2 is that much better than the 400se. Yes im very happy with the 400se, a perfect companion to my Z1R. heck...- JoshSchiit

Haha ok. Something tells me a hdva600 might be a little better than a louder $100 schiit, even though it’s not as powerful. But i guess it adds up, an amp meant to drive dynamic driver hd800 may not be loud enough for a planar. Honestly think that’s more of a shortcoming for the headphoness...- JoshSchiit

yup i think the Z1R reprogrammed my brain and/or broke my ears. :L3000:And the he400se truly sounds much more expensive than its priice tag. he400se shoots above the price and Arya shoots a little below Im selling the arya In order to upgrade my copper Axios to a hybrid Axios.- JoshSchiit
