Sorry, I haven't tried any of those.

With a good amp and source, for me it beats the Focal easily. But I'm one that really loves electrostatic headphones. I decided to step in the high end realm because I felt in love with how the Stax sounds. Wouldn't trade it for my 009s, much less for a X9000. But I liked it way more than an...

Jesus, that will be something to see. You were by far my favorite stand of the convention. Thanks for the good times.

I tried both of the at the Canjam. Not a fair battle. Maybe on their own they would sound great, but trying them one after the other, the Pulsar fells quite flat. The Valkyria has definitely more bass, but that's not the main difference. It's difficult for me to describe why, but they sound...

I spent quite a lot of time with the Valkyria in London, both at the Spirit Torino stand with their amp, and with the Rossini+clock and the Viva amp. I loved them, they are really phenomenal. With them acoustic instruments both in classical music or in small assembles sounded fantastic, but...

Thanks man, I have taken it. Looking forward to those 15 minutes of audio bliss.

It’s an AXE FX II: a guitar amp and effects simulator. You can have a huge collection of guitar amps and effects in one box and the quality is superb. Very convenient for a small apartment. But it has nothing to do with the headphone rig.

The Stax rig. My new Linn Series 3 speakers These things sound amazing.

I haven't listened it with the 009. But to me it sounds glorious with the 009s and the x9000.

I love them with the T8000

Anyone knows why this imbalance problems are happening? What's the cause? In my Stax T8000 I have separated volume controls for the right and left earphone, so it would be pretty easy to correct any small imbalance... not saying that a 7000$ headphone should have any.

I was thinking of attending for the first time in my life to an audio expo (To UK CanJam), and Eksonic amps is one of the things I would be more interested in listening to. What's the difference between a booth and a private room?
