Yeah I will be checking them out everywhere. I will hold out before I can be really sure. I love the Solaris and I will be getting the M8; that should keep me occupied for quite some time :beyersmile: until something truly irresistible comes up.

Thanks for the valuable information! In my country I can't really try before buying; and following opinions which seem similar to what I hear is the way to go for me. Looking forward to your impressions on Odin and Thummim.

Well thanks for the info! I feel better now lol. I have read a lot of your posts and wanted to ask you- which IEM is better than Solaris in your opinion on its bread and butter- Wide and holographic+ balanced/even/natural sound signature. Basically what's the step up IEM in the same sound...

Yeah I read your posts on this. That makes me excited again. Which output were you using for the Solaris? I think the SE and OG Solaris have the same impedance values/curve, so the effect of output impedance should be the same. How was the soundstage on the M8-Solaris combo? I just love the...

Thanks for the info. The no bass and collapsed soundstage made me prefer the unbalanced out of the Q1 over the SR25, though I could hear better technicalities on SR25. How much of a difference would there be between balanced and unbalanced M8?

I bought the Shanling M8 based on reading(misreading?) that the output impedance for both balanced and unbalanced is less than 1 ohm and now I see that the balanced is more than 1 ohm. I have the Campfire Solaris(OG) and I had to sell the AK SR25 due to it's high impedance(1.6 ohms). The sound...

I take it that you have the larger pads as well? Any suggestions about pads from your side? I will take as many opinions as I can. Yeah I do have open backs for home listening. Was just talking about the soundstage being good for a portable closed back. though I'm reading that the 1more triple...

I am reading up on those. Love the talk of soundstage on these. Which pads exactly? Can you provide a link please? I love stage and timbre so I think I would gravitate more towards the classics then.

Oh Sorry I misunderstood. Those look interesting too. I'll read up more on those. That is very comforting. One less variable lol. Have you heard the new pads on classics as well? If yes how would you compare the neos and classics with both having the new pads?

Thanks for the quick reply! I was considering the 1more quad drivers(supposedly a slightly refined version of the 3 drivers) but while all reviews are good. No one praised the mids as being particularly special. So held off that decision. I love my soundstage so it was a tough decision not to...

Hi guys. I am looking for the exact sound that the first gen pad 99 classics have. I would describe what I want as very real sounding timbre. Big bass not touching the mids, lifelike natural mids and natural non sibilant highs. I'm coming from rather different headphones right now but this is...

Thanks for you quick help guys!! But, just found a used bottlehead crack without speedball with Chatham 2399 tube. So I should prefer this over Valhalla 2 right? I am looking for sound which is exactly as what the Bottlehead Crack is supposed to be like( I wouldnt know exactly as I haven't heard...

Hey, can you suggest which tubes would go well with the T90 with the Valhalla 2? New to tube amps so could you please name them specifically so I can search them on Ebay? Apart from the treble, also looking for meatier sound and better soundstage. Basically looking for the crack sound:yum: but...

Hi guys. I got a T90 Chrome Edition which are on their way to me. I need a dac/amp or just an amp to drive them. The problem is that my budget is around 120$ at max. I know this is doing the T90 dis service but that is all I can manage right now. Plan to get  a darkvoice 336 when I get the...
