JM Audio Editions XTC Headphones
That's a good idea. My opens have a beryllium driver and near scalpel tuning. Maybe Biowool would be complimentary?- hillbilly559

JM Audio Editions XTC Headphones
I may have missed it in this thread, but I was wondering if anyone has compared the original XTC Open vs the XTC2 Open? I bought the original open and John did an excellent job tuning it. However after listening to it for several weeks, I sent them back to add more bass. They sound great, but I...- hillbilly559

Focal Utopia General Discussion
Thanks for all the info. The cable I received with my OG Utopia is from Lavricable and I like it. The adapter seems to be well made, so I'll just stick with it- hillbilly559

Focal Utopia General Discussion
I have a question about effectiveness using a cable adapter. I'm using a balanced 4.4mm balanced cable for my Utopia with an adapter that goes from 4.4mm balanced end to an XLR balanced end. This so I can use it balanced from a Woo WA22 amp. What I'm wondering about is whether the sound quality...- hillbilly559

I don't have the TC, but the Diana Phi sounds great on my Woo WA22 tube amp.- hillbilly559

Sky Audio Cables
I just received my 3rd cable from Reece for my Diana Phi. It's silver plated and the color matches the coffee Diana perfectly. I think I may hear some improved clarity, but the main reason I like them is the flexible cable with the sleeve all the way up to the cups. Reece had some extra long... -
Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
I just received a new cable from Skyaudio. It's silver plated wire terminated with XLR. So far I hear a little more clarity? Mostly I prefer the flexibility, color and the sleeve up to the cups. This is my 3rd cable from Reece. His quality and price are fantastic! BTW, they sound amazing...- hillbilly559

Can anyone describe the comfort with Dekoni pads and glasses? With the Diana pads, I do not get a good seal at all with glasses on. TIA- hillbilly559

Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
The gap is 1mm. The difference is that the gap is all the way around compared to several ports . I listened to more music and I don't think I am lacking for more bass with the small washers.- hillbilly559

I thought it was subtle when compared without, but I'm still waiting to try different music. I'll probably try ported pads at some point though.- hillbilly559

I would like to try the ported pads, but the price is a little high to experiment. For $8, the improvement is pretty good. I'm going to listen to more music to confirm.- hillbilly559

Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
I just received washers to allow a gap for increased bass. At first I tried the 5X2 size as suggested, but they fall off too easy. The smallest size, 3X1, stay on better and provide a small gap that increases the bass enough to where it's more enjoyable than without. I have a new silver plated...- hillbilly559

JM Audio Editions XTC Headphones
Just curious if anyone has heard and can give an impression of the XTC 1.0 (original) and the newer 2.0 version? I have the original with beryllium drivers and would like to know if the 2nd version is better or just different.- hillbilly559

ZMF Verite Open
I received the Caldera Ultra Perf pads after Zach suggested them when I posted that I could use more high frequency emphasis. Before I was using the Universal pads which had the best comfort. Now I'm happy with the Ultra Perf's comfort and high frequencies.- hillbilly559

What size zipped pad did you use? The Diana band is 1 1/2", and they offer one that width. Do you think that will fit properly?- hillbilly559

It looks good, but I noticed it doesn't extend the whole length. Do you find that makes any difference?- hillbilly559

Thanks for the Amazon link. I don't think I want to glue anything, but the zippered pad looks like it may work. The Beautiful Audio pads look great, but a bit expensive at $100.- hillbilly559
