Focal Utopia General Discussion
I own the OG Utopia and the Stellia. While the Utopia is the superior headphone of the two, the Stellia is my preferred choice for metal and rock. If you ever have the chance I suggest trying the Stellia out.- watchluvr4ever

Focal Stellia Review, Measurements, Interview - Head-Fi TV
I’m sure it’s also amp dependent. Running my Stellia through my TA-ZH1ES I get a slightly ”cleaner” presentation when using the 4 pin XLR output over single ended. Surprising though, my Utopia sounds almost the same in balanced vs single ended FWIW.- watchluvr4ever

Hum issue with Millet MiniMax
I purchased my Millet MiniMax from Whiplash Audio about a month or so ago and it has been a great little amp.

Does the standard WA6 synergize well with Grado RS1?

How to shop for CDs the audiophile way?
When I was younger in the 1980's I had a lot of CD's that were first pressings and I remember they sounded fantastic!
