    HIFIMAN Arya - Arya Stealth - Arya Organic :: Impressions Thread

    The Arya Stealth is very revealing when it comes to bad recordings, so some of those "sibilance" warnings might stem from that. Your chain will also play a huge part in how they ultimately sound to you. If your setup leans towards an uplift in the treble region then that will not help things...

    SJY Audio Starry Night Planar Magnetic Headphone

    The Jotunheim 2 is sort of the jack of all trades when it comes to hard to drive planar headphones. Is it the best?! No, but it does a really good job getting you closer than most at its price point. Below a $1,000 I don't think that you can get much better.

    SJY Audio Starry Night Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Interesting that you preferred the ef499 over the ef500, but personal preference is everything in this hobby. Thanks for confirming my suspicions regarding the ef499. I would have been surprised if it didn't drive SN v2 well considering what Hifiman designed that unit to power. Granted that I...

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    Listing to this on a Bifrost 2/64>Mjolnir 3>Moonlight chain, seems fitting :wink:: To answer the question a few comments back, yes push/pull & high gain are flipped on.

    SJY Audio Starry Night Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Over on HG, it seems a few people are having to throw a lot of power at the Horizon headphones. Several people are turning to speaker amps for that one. They are finding that is more difficult to drive than the SN v1 and closer to the HE6SE. I won't have a pair until some time next year as I...

    SJY Audio Starry Night Planar Magnetic Headphone

    Those of us who have tried SN v1 and/or v2 on speaker amps are not saying that you have to use a power amp to make them sound good. The point is more about trying to get the most out of the headphone (particularly in the lower frequencies, but not exclusively). I recently started spending more...

    Introducing the HIFIMAN Mini Shangri-La - Now Available on Apos Audio

    Depending on the reviews, it might be a competitive offering at that price point.

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    My ZMF AO shipping confirmation just arrived. So I guess I will be able to try them out on my Mjolnir 3 in the near future. 😂

    HifiMan HE6 V2 Adorama

    If you don't mind possibly breaking your desk there is always this option https://www.schiit.com/products/ragnarok-1 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Granted I understand that Schiit Audio gear is harder to come by in the EU. Plenty of options out there though.

    ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship

    Now I am curious as to wether or not I will hear the elevated 3khz region you all are talking about?! I guess I will try to listen for it when my AO gets here. I am using a Mjolnir 3 and a Bifrost 2/64, so I would assume I would notice it depending on the pad and mesh combo. My hearing goes...

    HifiMan HE6 V2 Adorama

    They may only be around 50 ohms, but they have low sensitivity so they need some extra power to sound their best. I do not own a pair, but I have other hard to drive planar headphones that run into the same issue. Edit: If you decide to get the HE6V2 try it out on your existing gear first, and...

    Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

    It seems that you want to sample all flavors with that list of amps :wink: . I guess I will find out how I like my new ZMF AO powered by the Mjolnir 3 once the AO arrives. As far as something like Susvara, wouldn't using Mjolnir 3 to preamp an AB speaker amp, and connecting the the Susvara to...

    Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion

    Is he going to ship it with all new orders, or is it just by request? I have not placed an order yet, but it would be good to know.

    Introducing HIFIMAN Susvara Unveiled: Elevating Audio Excellence!

    Tungsten DS and Horizon will most likely be my next purchases as far as headphones go, but not until after I purchase my Yggdrasil MIB early next year. 😉

    Introducing HIFIMAN Susvara Unveiled: Elevating Audio Excellence!

    It would be nice if that would happen as it would put the Susvara OG within a price point I would consider buying it. I already have a pair of mono blocks sitting on my desk for hard to drive planar headphones (so the supporting equipment is already there). It is doubtful that they will do...

    Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread

    Just dropped $3,500+ on an Atrium Open, pads, and cables. So I am waiting 8 months until my next large purchase. :wink: I am also paying off my mortgage early next year on top of that so..., priorities, lol.

    All this talk about which Yggdrasil is better, and me sitting here counting down the 8 months until I can join the Yggdrasil club :sweat_smile:. A lot to look forward to though! :grin:

    ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship

    Waiting on mine as well. ZMF just started assembly and testing on mine. So most likely the end of this month or early July I will have them in hand (hopefully). 🥲
