How are the Nordost Heimdall 2 power cables? How stiff is it?

At some point you just gotta remember it’s about the music and just sit back and enjoy. I think I’m almost there 😂

One thing that differs significantly between the 2 is ergonomics. Both are high quality builds but the WA33 is massive and weighs 60 pounds compared to AIC-10 30 pounds. The AIC-10 has a much smaller footprint but by no means small. Also the WA33 gets way hotter and easily cooks up a small...

This is actually incredibly accurate to what I’m hearing. I actually agree with every single point. The surprising thing is I’m hearing the same differences with the WA33 standard and fully upgraded tubes. I think in summary they’re both incredible TOTL amps. If you prefer a cleaner more...

I’ve had 1 day responses from riviera so far and gone back and forth with them over 3-4 emails. They seem to be very responsive

Just tried, definitely better, bigger soundstage, more authoritative, slightly better clarity/more detailed, mids same, better upper range. Thanks a lot! I’m not baller enough for both but if someone buys my WA33 standard I’d buy a WA33 Elite to compare. Will update soon, both so good but...

It’s very different so far. But both are so good.

Got this beauty recently, such a high quality product. So far most impressions on here are pretty accurate. Comparison to WA33 standard is pretty interesting though. Will post after some more listening sessions.

International purchase for a TOTL amp? Sure no problem! Great communication, extremely helpful and informative. pictures provided at every step. Shipping was prompt and packaged well. Items were exactly as described/seen.

The 501 and Imannis? Very tempting. What’s your username in the discord?

I haven’t heard any of your other amps besides the iHA-6, but if you think Susvara slams with iHA-6, you are in for way more enjoyment with better amps as the iHA-6 is only the tip of the iceberg.

Easy to work with, good buyer!

Did you have WA33 EE JPS with Susvara or 1266 only? If it was with Susvara, how do the WA33 EE and AIC-10 compare?

Selling great condition Abyss 1266 Phi TC. Comes with original cable and all accessories including the wooden box. Only blemish is small chipping of the black coating at the top screw of the head band. Ships from Central California with UPS shipping. Only trades I’m interested in are DCA...

Good buyer, very easy and smooth transaction!

Correct, too uncomfortable at the temples the other way around.

I think there are a bunch that challenge the 1266, but nothing beats it. For me Fostex th-900 mk2, Denon 9200, Utopia 2022 come to mind. Stellia wasn’t for me.

I do it similarly or angled with gap towards the bottom back

Try it on WA33, you’ll be even more impressed than with Bliss (I had both)

Every time I listen to the 1266 TC to see if I want to sell, it kicks my rear end and tells me to sit down :beyersmile: I don't know if any headphone rocks as hard as the 1266

Same, let me know of the next one. Don’t wanna wait until October for CanJam

Was this in SoCal?

Been looking for something like this since I transitioned from IEMs to full size. I think there was another thread that attempted this. This one is already off to a great start

Agree, it comes really close to Susvara for a tiny fraction of the price and minimal amp requirements. It is quite amazing what Sennheiser has achieved.

Interesting since I’m debating on upgrading my WA33 to a WA33 EE or the AIC-10. How’s the Head space amp compare to the WA33 EE? I mostly listen with my Sus to metal, edm, hiphop.
