which meze's are you referring to? i've not heard the liric 2 btw.

the empyrean 2's sound signature differs significantly from the og empyrean and elite to my ears, which may explain why those reviewers 'have come around'. Resolve wasn't as fulsome in his praise of the empyrean 2 as DMS and Joshua Valour were but he does regard it as an improvement over its...

phew! just finished a marathon read of this thread. what a helpful and friendly place to hang-out. i don't think that i have a question about the caldera that hasn't already been answered here. i can't think of a more responsive and unassuming headphone maker than Zach. his passion for his craft...

i am going to assume that those statements are accurate. but you are comparing your subjective perception and opinion of these headphones with his. the only fact here (apart from statement a and b) is that your opinion differs from his. is this really so difficult to comprehend?

well, seeing as you think that i 'take this too seriously', i am inclined to think that you are being overly sensitive about this. i do agree that we should move on from this discussion and i don't think there is any need to take it to PMs.

the reviewer has expressed his opinion, which is subjective. asserting that it is 'factually wrong' does not make it so. i'd be interested in knowing how you would prove that.

the reviewer's subjective experience differs from your own. that's not unusual in this hobby. what i find puzzling is that you regard the replies to your posts as being confrontational.

so you've concluded that a subjective review is 'factually wrong' without having seen it. i like your thinking.

i didn't say or insinuate that you 'attacked or accused him with anything terrible.' nor am i protecting him. lumping the reviewer into 'camp hifiman' as you did in your initial post is not a 'simple fact' but it is simplistic. i 'simply' called you out for it. whether you think i am taking this...

i think that i made my point clearly enough to you in both my first and second reply. i suggest that you watch the video in its entirety or skip to around the 30 minute mark where he talks about his dialogue with meze, acknowledges his subjective preference and explains why he thinks that the...

neither have i but that's beside the point and i gather that you have not watched the review

the susvara and utopia are his reference headphones - neither of which are oval in shape. to say that 'he is in camp hifiman' suggests that he is biased and seemingly ignores his positive reviews of the modhouse tungsten, zmf bokeh, zmf atrium open, zmf atrium closed and dan clark e3 - none of...

i think that's a simplistic assessment

just watched it - it's damning. @WaveTheory's ears don't get along with the meze sound.

thanks for that
