AUDEZE LCD XC
I find this EQ setting quite good with the XC using the Loki mini + I don’t touch the treble cause I actually find the treble tonality to be quite good. Overall if I may say. I think the XC will stay with me for good. Proper EQ allows the XC to be more genre diverse.- nephilim32

AUDEZE LCD XC
Yeah guys. I do agree. EQ is an absolute must. I’m using the Schiit Loki Mini + which is a very broad 4-band analog Equalizer. It is awesome. Haven’t looked back and the Loki saved me from selling the LCD XC. Boy am I glad I didn’t do that. 😌- nephilim32

The Final Audio D8000 Pro Collector’s Edition is now available for pre-order at Headphones.com!
The relationship or amount of voltage and current is very dependent on the original D-8000. It obviously is not hard to drive, but my goodness it needs some serious refined power. Weather people want to believe it or not, the D-8000 OG is very picky with amplification, but when you get it right...- nephilim32

Schiit Kara - Impressions Thread
Truthfully. For aesthetics and overall symmetry (height balance ) with my other existing equipment. They are vibration dampers for washing machines and dryers. Lol. Only 15 bucks and they kind of match.- nephilim32

AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE
Most importantly my dear friend is that you got a sense and appreciation for the recording itself. That makes me happy and you describe very well, some of the many things I myself certainly enjoy musically from the “Anaconda track” itself. Oh who am I kidding? The whole freaking album is...- nephilim32

Schiit Kara - Impressions Thread
Gave the Kara some larger feet. I don’t think it looks that bad. I like that it gets more height and has better symmetry (looks wise) with the rest of my equipment.- nephilim32

AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE
To be honest my friend I’ve yet to hear a headphone that sucks on the WA22. Lol. It is a magnificent beast. 😈 Ummm? Song request? Ok. Will keep it simple. Something really acoustic and airy that can hopefully capture the OAE-1 spatial uniqueness and effects. This is a great recording as well.- nephilim32

AXEL GRELL HEADPHONE
I remember that many prototypes and iterations of the headphone were done and even some of the non finalized versions made it to shows. I think that is so smart on Axel Grell’s part. Great research and response technique to gather data/feedback. He obviously listened. Seems the final version of...- nephilim32

Schiit Kara - Impressions Thread
Absolutely. So far I have clear impressions on how the Kara is with the LCD XC and the HD 800. Low Gain with the HD 800 is a terrific setting. Great incisiveness with the right amount of punch and quickness. A very nice pairing. Now on the planar side of things with the LCD XC it gets...- nephilim32

Also. The suggestion to add little rubber feet to the remote buttons was a great idea. Better tactility and control of the volume. Very smart. Thank you….whoever you are. 🤝- nephilim32

Schiit Kara - Impressions Thread
Yes my friends. Schiit happened. I’ve welcomed the Kara into my main rig. Very happy with it and I have to say the general impressions most people have on here about the Kara I find are very accurate. It is neutral, incisive and can get pretty punchy when taken out of passive mode, however...- nephilim32

Guys. Help me understand why the HAA Resolute costs $3500€ 🧐. I’m not being sarcastic, I just want genuine feedback here as to why anyone thinks this amp is worth its price tag. 🤝- nephilim32

Mr. Stoddard. I just bought/placed an order for a Schiit Kara. So yeah, I’m gonna take your advice and enjoy life. I think the KARA has an immense functionality that I just can’t pass up. The Kara is truly unique and it looks like an incredible accomplishment. Thank you and Mike for all that...- nephilim32

Thank you for this. I very much enjoyed reading about an experience that definitely defines why we go to such great lengths to find audio Nirvana. In some ways it is a spiritual quest and it is that of a fulfilling one. 🤝😁- nephilim32

Hi. I apologize. I see your point now. I just run local files on SD cards and seldomly use Apple Music. Both red and green show up on the LED wheel no problem. Blue ? Not so much. Even if I’m using or hearing an MQA file.- nephilim32
