The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
By the way, does anyone have experience with the new perforated pads on the original AB1266? I'm talking about this one.- ithilienrp

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
I faced this problem long time ago. I fixed it by using elastic bands I could readily buy from local grocery store, and wrapped around it with ZMF pilot pads that I happened to have around. The ZMF pilot pad is thick enough for me not to feel the bumps cause by the joints of the elastics. A...- ithilienrp

Not coming here for a while ..... glad to see you guys still here :) I'd been thinking of adding a Heartland to my collection. But since I'm moving to a bigger house .... so that will have to wait unfortunately. And yes, I'm still enjoying my Thror Novel (personalized tuning, with more...- ithilienrp

One little thing: there might be some inconsistency about where the seams are. Most ear pads, including all my Kennerton's ECL-01 and 02, have the seams on the "thin-side" of the pads. However, I noticed that starting with my Thror Novel pads (also a non-perforated, similar to the ones came...- ithilienrp

I remember seeing your post (the one in your screenshot) a long time ago and tried to search for it in this thread but couldn’t find it. So it was in FA-011AE thread on another website then :)- ithilienrp

Getting back to the reason we're all here: Kennerton Headphones (and Music). A few days before the current situation unfolded, I tried this new "angled, non-perforated pads" that came with Rognir Dynamics on the Rognir Planar, and ... OMG .... I really like what I'm hearing, especially the...- ithilienrp

One more thing, and this will be the last thing regarding this topic I'll post here. Some might argue that "buying stuffs from a Russian company is like indirectly supporting the war" (I heard this several times elsewhere). As a very small business owner myself; I do honest business and pay...- ithilienrp

Since my name was mentioned, I’ll elaborate my $0.02 further. My point in my earlier post has nothing to do with “keep buying” or not. To be very precise: “…. is Russian. Which make you think …” Do we have to “categorically” do this to anyone Russian? Now, simply put: replace Kennerton with...- ithilienrp

Does “Having empathy for Ukraine” mean having to hate and boycott everything from every Russian person and company? I don’t get it. Being a person of a country, holding a nationality and citizenship, being a company registered in a country, etc doesn’t mean agreeing with everything its...- ithilienrp

Finally I got my "pair" of Rognir Dynamics and GH40, in Bog Oak and Brazilian Palisander. Here's RP (in Purple Heart) and RD side by side. No sound comparison. I have no idea if I'll ever do it.

They sound pretty good. I have yet to do the A/B comparison with the original Vali (or to anything for that matter; just had a first listen last night). However, I do have the measurement for this pair.- ithilienrp

So, this was how my Kennerton obsession and acquisition started ... for me: The original Odin and the original Vali; Kennerton’s top planar and dynamic of the time. And this is what "End Game" looks like, for me: The Starry Night Thror Novel and Vali Neoteric; again, Kennerton’s top planar...- ithilienrp

Eye candies. When I first commissioned the Starry Night Thror Novel customization, Valentin showed me a few boards of Karelian Birch and let me choose what I like. While I chose the board that eventually ended up being the Starry Night Thror, Valentin chose to stabilized the other boards and...- ithilienrp

Didn't think I would one day saying this .... but THIS "Starry Night Thror Novel" is my end-game, literally. I'm done with finding headphones; at least for another long while (except things that already pre-ordered or promised).- ithilienrp

I think both Odin and Magister had been discontinued for quite a while. The Odin was superseded by the Thridi ('Odin Thridi'), which also disappeared from the website, so presumably discontinued, even though the simple google search for 'Kennerton Thridi' still leads to a page in Kennerton...- ithilienrp

After reading this thread several times … there’s still one question hanging in my head: Is the Oracle closer to Monarch or to Clairvoyance? The thing is: I have the Monarch but not the Clair. If the Oracle is closer to the Clair than the Monarch, it might be worth getting. Thanks.- ithilienrp
