Here are mine.

Hope Zach doesn't mind me posting these, but here are the two I was hoping for and the one I ended up with (Stella Blue) - no bad choices, I would have been happy with any of about 8 of the sets. Kudos to Zach & Bevin for the way the ordering snafu was handled, and the option of a full...

Thanks Zach for always answering so promptly, via email and here. Just need to decide whether to wait for the Stabilized Maple sets being unveiled on Friday. Which has a higher density, and is it much of a difference (for reverb/decay)?

Are the "unfigured" Camphor Burl Verite Closed different from the rest of the batch in that run? Just leftover and not as visually appealing?

My opinion is that the P9 is tuned specifically for the way music is mastered (or remastered) today and listened to from an iPhone or iPad, and as such it's kind of pointless to scale them up with something better than the inline DAC that's supplied with it, much less something that's more...

If your comparison is based solely on optical, I'd suggest spending some time comparing using coax/BNC. In my experience those are better for Gumby (granted that also depends upon source used).

More like Black Label blended vs. a good 18 year old single malt Scotch whiskey. Had the LCD2C, enjoyed it, but sold it once I got the Teak Auteur. There's a considerable increase in cost but you do get noticeable audible refinement and better build quality. I don't think they're really in...

I think headphones like these, catering to the higher end "lifestyle" segment, will always be polarizing especially for headphone enthusiasts. I do really like mine, although I feel they are overpriced by at least $200 for what you ultimately get. But they're certainly not terrible or the worst...

*EDIT - nevermind, late to the email w/promo code received party. Anyway, looking forward to it.

The 1540 sounds a little rolled-off at the top end compared to the P9, and the P9 presents a wider soundstage. Overall the P9 sounds more like listening to speakers and is more engaging, for music. I still prefer the 1540 for watching movies/shows - for that it seems to offer a more focused...

Acquired taste for sure. Took me a little while to start appreciating them. Overpriced but still worth it to me all things considered.   Pushing the pads backwards a bit helped reduce the bass boominess, which also made it a bit more comfortable to wear with glasses. For my ears, the earpad...

Had these for about a week now. The "mid-bass hump" was evident depending on recording (seemed to negatively affect certain male voices).   Now having used them for many hours, either my ears/brain have adjusted or maybe the pads/speakers have been broken in a bit, but the bass is not as...

  Flip it over, labels will be right side up (it's upside down in your pic). Unless this is a joke relating to the fact that it doesn't come with feet so its orientation is ambiguous...

  Might stem from the fact that pricing for cables can seem ludicrously high, given that they're just conductive wires wrapped in protective fabric/plastic. I would not debate whether they change the sound of headphones, I have experienced that they can certainly do that in a subtle way (in my...

  I experienced pretty much the same thing with the P7. There was a lot to like about it, enjoyable low+mids and felt like very resolving high frequencies, but heard that peak you mentioned often enough to annoy me. Pity, actually tried it out 2 separate times, wanted to love it, very luxurious...
