Spirit Torino Valkyria
All this talk about "revised tuning" in the current version ot the Valkyria is disconcerting, at the least. It seems that the latest stock version sounds different than what I heard at CanJam last year (2023). :scream:- jpelg

ES-R10 closed back dynamic headphone Sony R10 Replica Discussion/Impressions
As a long-time fan of the Sony R10's, my audition of the ES-R10 at CanJam earlier this year was disappointing. I just didn't hear the magic of the original R10's (from memory). I don't know how well run-in the sample I heard was, but given it was a vendor's table, I presume it had some head-time...- jpelg

Ultrasone Fan Club! (Roll Call)
Hey Patrick - those Ed11's, with bio-cellulose drivers & a unique housing, seem to be completely different than any of the prior Proline/Pro/Edition lines: Never had an opportunity to see or hear them. Glad you are enjoying.- jpelg

Introducing the LCD-i3
All this iPhone vs. Android cable discussion is amusing. Instead, I find it more strange that a company double-down on the need for DSP equalization on its headphones at all, thus tying it to a phone or PC app for best response. This leaves those of us just wanting to use the analog-out of a...- jpelg

If you still love Etymotic ER4, this is the thread for you...
Well, the left driver of my ~15 y/o ER4S's is now substantially reduced in volume. Sadly, replacing filters (the usual suspect) has no effect. Also checked all links in the audio chain & the issue follows the driver all the way. Frankly, I suspect the root cause are the new plastic tubed filters...- jpelg

Monolith M300 In Ear Planar Earphones
Thanks to the recommendations in this thread, I received the Audeze "groove kit" yesterday. The Audeze iSine hooks are thinner & more flexible than the Monoprice stock hooks, but don't break when you flex them to fit over your ear. They don't pinch either. They've taken the M300 to "wearable for...- jpelg

Surprised at the recent price cuts on the FXA7. Personally, I'm waiting for a drop on the FXA9, as (based on limited reviews) they seem to have a signature more to my taste.- jpelg

Official New York Spring Meet - June 10, 2017 - impressions
So glad I made the trek down from CT for another one of Tom's (bozebutton) fantastic meets. He is probably the most selfless Head-Fier I know, working tirelessly to keep the NY headphone scene at the high level that it has always been. Vendor participation was great, with representation by many...- jpelg

Shure KSE1500 Review - Shure KSE1500 Sound Isolating Electrostatic Earphones
With regard to more widespread adoption (or perhaps lack thereof), I think that electrostatic portables are a very niche market. Stax's own SRS-001 & SRS-002 models were never as prevalent in the wild as other portable technologies. The KSE-1500 has the added hurdle of a very premium price point...- jpelg

Upgrade from Ultrasone Pro 750 / should I invest in an amp instead?
Since you are willing to get an open headphone for home use, I'd suggest that you get the Ultrasone PRO2500 (used or new-old-stock) or PRO2900 headphone, along with an O2 DAC/amp combo. The 2500/2900 will have similar characteristics that you are used to from the 750 (and won't get in any of...- jpelg
