What do you mean by "disorienting"? Thanks

Please don't mislead people. It's pure placebo. Let's focus on the E3. 🙂

Don't worry about cables, they all sound the same (scientifically proven). Much better to spend your money on other components or better yet, music or a comfy chair to listen to it. 😉

If you're new to the hobby, please don't fall into the trap of spending crazy money on amps, DACs, and cables. Just buy a transparent DAC and amp ($100-$300 is enough for each), and spend the rest on good headphones and music 😉. The ASR forum has a lot of useful reviews with rigorous measurements.

Has anyone had a chance to compare the E3 to STAX headphones like the SR-007mk2.9 (spring and blu-tack modded) or the SR-L700 (blu-tack modded)? And for something less "radical": any comparisons of the E3 versus the Audeze Maxwell? (both target Harman and are closed) Thanks

No, sorry, I sold it a long time ago. Good luck with your search!

Sure...

I'm not one of those people who can describe in a lot of detail how specific frequencies sound different when switching gear, etc. Especially because audio memory is notoriously unreliable, and in this case A/B-ing the amps meant turning one off, disconnecting the cables, connecting them to the...

Interesting. Would be nice to get a website that is not ".ru".

Where exactly is Perun located? I wouldn't want to be aiding Russia by bypassing the economic sanctions.
