Unfortunately, I tried all the outputs, and it’s dead on every output, also out for different headphones.- LCMusicLover

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Well, my TT2 is now a mono device, right channel is silent from any input to any output. Second owner, so not under warranty. screw Weird too. Worked fine one day, dead the next.- LCMusicLover

Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread
Personally, I found Hugo2 ==> OG Utopia to be 'too much of a good thing' -- too bright, too much detail (if that's possible). I sold my Utopia, still own Hugo2.- LCMusicLover

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
Having gone through Auteur burn-in, I wasn’t freaked out by Atrium’s initial sound. I heard a fully burned-in demo, so I knew where the sound was headed. I burned them in 100 hours before really listening and didn’t hear much delta after that.- LCMusicLover

HEDD Audio HEDDphone TWO - Now Available for Pre-Order with Special Pre-Order Bonus
Here are my Heddphone One/Heddphone Two impressions from another site: I really appreciate the loaner. I’ll probs end up w/ 3 posts. This one is called. Heddphone One meets Two First, I hadn’t read any of the above posts, but apparently I’m an outlier. And that’s probably because I’m coming...- LCMusicLover

The TWS + Neckband + BT Cable Adapter Thread
I own UTWS5s and demoed the GoPod. I find the UTWS5s to be 'good enough' for my use case driving my IT07. I'm actually tempted to get a set w/ 2-pin for my Penon Volts. I REALLY liked the GoPod with my CA Vega IEMs -- really drives them well.- LCMusicLover

Ditto! Also, Annie Lennox 'Diva' :) Which lineup? Peter Green? Bob Welch? Or Lindsey/Stevie...? I saw the Lindsey/Stevie lineup at the Us Festival (man was that a hot weekend)! Yep, gorgeous voice ... RIP :(- LCMusicLover

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
No, I listen to a lot if female vocals (Joni, Gretchen Peters, The Be Good Tanyas, Marissa Nader, Cowboy Junkies, 10,000 Maniacs, Ajeet Kaur, Fleetwood Mac/Christine/Stevie) and I love listening to them from my AO. TBH, I prefer my HEKse for classical. For big orchestral works the HEK headstage...- LCMusicLover

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
Yep, Radial/Uni — doubleplusgood. Listening to Plenue II mk2 (opt out) ==> Hugo 2 ==> Atrium w/ that pad/mesh combo. Great synergy between H2 & Atrium. @walterboss — read ‘Pink Moon’ and immediately fired up my Nick playlist. @zach915m — fvk me but those Zebrawoods are gorgeous! After a good...- LCMusicLover

ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion
@MattTCG & @sofastreamer Here's something I wrote a long time ago (more than five years ago!) when I was still getting to know E2 and still owned Utopia. I might have been feeling good when I wrote it :) I agree that HEKv2 (and HEKse to a lesser degree) have a bigger/deeper headstage than E2...- LCMusicLover

TOTL disappointments
Haven't been here for a while, but wanted to comment on the ZMF pad-swapping posts. Especially @KaiFi & @TheRunningIr0n Just want to be sure that those objecting have tried the 'turn it inside out like a sock' method shown in Zach's pad-swapping YouTube video. I had a very hard time swapping...- LCMusicLover

ETHER 2: Impressions and Discussion
Hi: I've owned my Ether 2 for almost 5 years now -- still really like it. Light and very comfortable for me, although folks with 'bigger' heads sometimes complain about the clamping force. Great at night when I'm relaxing/chilling. I haven't heard the 820, but E2 is definitely darker than...- LCMusicLover

ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship
Don't listen to these guys. Tom Petty was right -- The Waiting is the Hardest Part But it's also an essential part of the experience. My Auteur order was placed 11/10/17; received 3/9/18, so 1 day short of 4 months. Back then it was clicking Refresh to see if the progress spreadsheet had...- LCMusicLover

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
My 2 cents worth -- I've used my Hattor Mini balanced preamp to direct TT2 DAC output to multiple headphone amps, like this: mTT2 (DAC mode) ==> Hattor Mini ==> DSHA-3F | Liquid Platinum Lately I've pulled the preamp out of the system as it wasn't adding anything soncially, just...- LCMusicLover

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
FTFY ;) This is the correct adage for any obsessive hobbyist, regardless of the hobby. Just ask my brother how many telescopes and associated equipment he’s purchased. Or my other brother about his fly-fishing gear. Or me about all the head-fi gear I’ve bought/owned/sold.- LCMusicLover

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
What @Reactcore said. I’ve done this, partly for a slightly different sound, and partly for the amp headroom. But please note that you are using ‘amp mode’ and could easily blow out your cans. Honestly, except for my Hedds, none of my cans benefit noticeably vs the front-panel SE jacks.- LCMusicLover

Monoprice Monolith Liquid Gold (X)
They sounded great out of my Liquid Platinum, from my Audio-gd Master 11, and direct out of my mScaler/TT2. Also from Hiby R6 Pro and FiiO M15. backstory: I had ordered and was waiting for my Atrium when I ran across a great deal on a used Elite. Had both for about a month, but had to sell...- LCMusicLover

I assume you are referring to swapping mesh on Auteur Classic. I’ve written several posts about swapping to the radial mesh. You can find them using this search. Or cut straight to this one to catch me at my most effusive.- LCMusicLover
