Not interested in trades, thanks for asking

HiFiMan HE-R10 Planar stealth magnets version. Purchased in October 2024 as open box from HiFiMan's website. Includes: carrying case which came with a broken lock (the lock fell off completely upon initial unboxing), three cables (3.5mm, 6.35mm, and XLR) - all of which have the dual 3.5mm cable...

I'm really liking the "trickle down" from the Stealth/Expanse to the E3 and now to the NOIRE X.

This is a Bricasti M1 SE purchased in a refurbished/preowned condition from Bricasti directly in 2019. Features the SE upgrades but no network player and no MDx upgrade. Can be upgraded by Bricasti to include not only these but also the new M1S2 upgrades. Will ship to US CON48 (will also do...

Yes so that you can choose to have the rack mountable faceplate or not.

The listing is closed but I updated the title and message to show that it's sold.

The biggest differences I hear are in the treble where the E3 sounds more linear (not sure if it even is) and generally more special somehow, and then separation and spatial properties sound better on the E3, plus the mids sound slightly more natural to me. This is with the K371's main issues...

I don't think I've ever listened to the Dianas, only the Abyss AB-1266 and Abyss Phi CC. I was unimpressed by those to say the least, but that has no bearing on the Dianas.

The K872 seems quite unique, if you can't try before buying I encourage buying from a store with a good return policy. This is from Crinacle:

Very nearly 3" tall and 2" wide measuring across the center. It has one of the biggest inner diameters I've encountered in a long time. Despite that, its group delay/internal reflections are as minimal as an IEM - truly marvelous engineering. Genre preference really comes down to the person. I...

Just to add to this, there is a separate Harman curve representing neutrality - the Harman in-room linear response curve. DCA and many HiFiMans can easily be EQ'd to this tuning. It's worth trying when experimenting to find out what frequency response you prefer, though it's not what most people...

Yeah, it seems like they thought a flat frequency response across the board was the way to go for headphones, which results in them having a massive upper mid and lower treble dip that sounds unlike anything else whether you like it or not. It seems like they learned from this with the Maxwell...
