You shouldn't be looking for a "better" sound but a different one. The tube is still brand new, so it's likely to sound bassier & muddier as a result. That'll get better once you hit the 100 hour mark. 50 doesn't get you quite there yet. It also helps to know what to listen for. With the 6XX...

I'm eagerly anticipating those results because if they show the PCB is indeed different there will be so many "outraged" people who will have to eat a big heaping plate of crow. If they don't, someone has some explaining to do.

You're proving his point with a post like this. From what I can tell sosolar didn't protect himself because he neglected to file a patent in addition to putting his design into the public domain. Whether that makes Airist wrong for using it or you're upset that he didn't credit sosolar - virtue...

So, what exactly do you want out of this? You didn't file a patent so anyone Massdrop or otherwise were free to use your design. Do you want them to just admit that they copied it? Because at this point even if you get that I think that's all you'll get. I'm having a hard time following the...

December 18th is the shipping date. That's a huge oof, didn't expect that long of a wait. I may just wait until next year for a second drop.

This community loves drama :triportsad:

I'm probably going to buy this to pair with my CTH & if it ever drops again the LCX for my endgame source setup, but one thing that worries me is that it's single ended. Given the LCX's balanced out, would a single ended DAC hinder it?

Pros of the Elex: Wider soundstage, more air in the treble, sexier aesthetic (imo at least I love all the black), more even mids Pros of the Clear: Better treble extension overall (more bass, more sparkly highs), more energetic as a result, less even mids but they're more full & have more...

The cable isn't $60, the 6" adapter is. It's 90-120 bucks for an actual cable which still isn't bad but I pointed it out accuracy's sake.

Mine doesn't do that. See if the tube is seated properly (pins even all around).

Thump is what I'm looking for, so maybe EQ is the better route. I've heard the Elear & it does thump but the bass isn't as tight as I'd like. That midrange hole too man I just can't do it. For a while I was considering the Fidelio X2s or the TH-X00s but both are fairly v-shaped. A lot of...

I'll be running it with a CTH & everyone Zach included raves about the combo so I should be good there. I've EQ'd my LCD-2Cs so if need be I could do the same for the Atticus. Either that or pad swap to the suede pads as suggested elsewhere in the thread. I'm leaning Atticus. I want something...

I got my refund from my Elex & I'm thinking about buying one of the last remaining Zebra sets. I would like some clarification on the bass of the Atticus though. Some of you think that they aren't bassy enough for EDM/Rap & the Eikon would be the better pick for those. I'll re-read the thread...

I owned two different pairs both with varying spl tolerances which forced me to return them. I thoroughly enjoyed them when they weren't crackling or popping, so instead of calling me a hater you should consider context next time.

I'm on a bandwagon huh? Do yourself a favor & read the thread...
