Nice buyer to deal with. Enjoy the headphones :)

...in its case. Had approximately 10 hours in-home use in that time. Battery has been tested and is still excellent. In overall great condition Postage fees vary depending on location and speed of the service. Located in Australia. *edit - availability changed to worldwide and price lowered

Yes, but as of now they are sold pending payment, I'll keep this ad updated

Hi there, They were from Addicted to Audio Melbourne. Just over 3 years ago so the warranty would be up.

Sony MDR-Z1R in excellent condition with all original accessories/packaging. I purchased these brand new a few years ago, but they have only had about 10-20 hours head time. They have been kept in a drawer away from dust on a soft matting. I have just taken them out for photos and realized a...

No - I think that photo was before the first AB-1266 was released. Although IIRC, someone had a custom pair made with the spiderweb pattern

I thought it had been mentioned several times that Audeze cables don't fit Abyss?

Episode 2 showed up on my youtube suggestions if anyone's interested

I wonder how the ceramic coating holds up to being bent. When the video of the adjustment was uploaded, I think it was black anodised aluminium. Ceramic is not known for its flexibility...

That would be the Diana Phi OR Tie a bunch of helium balloons to the top?

Spending lots of money on a system won't guarantee you'll like it more. As you found out with Dave/ Hugo. It's more about getting a flavour you like than anything else.

Just do a search for "stick"

I had the opportunity to do a bit of a shootout between 1266 and LCD4, and the area I thought they were both excellent in was the bass. And I am a basshead. I didn't really like much else about the LCD4 over 1266 though.

Well, not really, you're just meant to hang it on the headband. I hung mine on the headband for years and never had an issue.

Not a JPS recommendation - just some people's preference. IIRC the supplied Abyss stand isn't tall enough to hang the headphone by the metal frame with the cables attached

Just do a quick image search for headphone stand and pick something high and with a thin holder at the top to go between the frame and the headband - Like this: https://satechi.net/products/satechi-slim-aluminum-headphone-stand

for audio nirvana you either need Abyss Total Consciousness or Beats and altered consciousness

I stand by my hamster. Get one and blind test it if you wanna waste $640

dafuq? It's 100% possible to sound the same because it doesn't do anything. Same as if I sit a hamster on my DAC - it sounds the same because it has no impact whatsoever - just like an audiophile network switch. Keep in mind that a standard cat6 network runs at 1 gigabit. That's pumping 1's...

I would have considered standby mode to be off enough...

I guess Joe has seen more than a couple of pairs come back to him damaged because of improper use with a speaker amp. ? IIRC someone blew a fuse in their speaker amp by disconnecting the Abyss while it was OFF (standby - not off at the wall). So it's maybe not the safest thing to do with...

haha oh ok, well that explains that then...

Ah ok yeah superconductor stuff is not cheap... Even adding banana plug options to the termination options of the cables, as the termination options don't effect the price of the cable. Maybe they are not in the store because it gives the impression that using a speaker amp must be safe...

Surprised Abyss don't sell these in their store in the stock and superconductor options. Official Abyss headphone cable with banana plugs. Or speaker to XLR adapters. Seems like there is a demand for it. They definitely have the resources!...

Well, that guy really didn't rate it... But as a fellow melon head, I do agree with the part about having the drivers pivot at the centre.
