hold on. Will get my Ra back in hand next week. Will do a comparison then.

Most definitely yes. The presentation will be a little different, the note body and definition will be different, but the details can be same.

Yup, but never shouty, just stops short of shouty and sibilant. That's the magic. And with an excellently deep and full-bodied bass

1. Alpha Omega Ra (copy everything you feel.) 2. 634EARS LOAK2-TX01 (Pushing the boundaries of a single DD to the extreme, achieving a huge stage, deep and impactful bass, transparent midrange, beautiful treble, clean background, and highly detailed yet refined notes - all in one package) 3...

I did hear the LP03 and posted my impression of it compared to LOAK2-TS(CL). No, Musashi san will never incorporate BAs and hybrid. There are too many brands doing that. He has his own niche and he excels at it.

Hi folks, need your help for something. I have sold my Shanling M7 and Tempotec V6, will probably sell off the Gryphon also. I am in search of a new DAP now that will be a portable solution for my iems and my 64 Ohm closed back headphone. I have isolated two choices - iBasso DX260 and Cayin N7...

Guys, can you tell me which Dekoni earpads can fit XTC headphones?

Mine is Sonokeling. Why did he suggest you such? What are that wood's unique properties?

So, I got the LOAK2-TX01 today and I am completely satisfied. It improves upon the LOAK2-TS(CL) massively. The sound signature is similar to LOAK2-TS and yet much more refined. Similarly powerful bass and yet slightly controlled. More open midrange, bigger and cleaner stage, more 3D imaging...

Which wood is this?

Actually, the 2.5 is a bit too heavy for me, hence I have discounted that already. The 1.5 is the one for me 😄

JM Audio XTC Closed is a 699 USD closed back headphone from JM Audio Editions: https://www.jmaudioeditions.com/product-page/jm-audio-edition-xtc-closed-50mm-n52-magnet-with-premium-ear-pad I believe this is an insane value for money headphone and needs to be highlighted here. Below is my...

So should I add a portable amp like HUM MA1B or something?

Around 300 USD I would say.

Can someone advise me an upgrade over Gryphon? I had Shanling M7 but sold it as I want to buy the iBasso DX260..if I get it, do I still need the Gryphon or an external portable amp will be more suitable? With Gryphon I found I had to push the volume level to around 80 with XTC... Wasn't...

Okay... something crazy happened. I was talking with @John Massaria and he told me with 1.5 I will get more midrange body, the one aspect I felt the XTC could have a bit more. On a whim I posted my XTC for sale, it got sold within minutes! And within minutes of that I placed the order for 1.5...

XTC all the way. The Bokeh may win in midrange, but XTC midrange is no slouch either, and moreover they are better than Bokeh in Bass, Treble, and Technicalities. At $699, the XTC has a much better performance to my ears and more value for money over the Bokeh at $1099. Frankly, XTC's huge open...

JM Audio XTC Closed (Warm yet detailed) Impressions: I am using the fuzzy earpads and the copperhead cable. I used iFi XDSD Gryphon (XBass, XSpace, and Bass switch on) as a source for my impressions. They have a bass-boosted neutral tonality and highly dynamic presentation. Both the macro and...

Very accommodating seller. Catered to my needs well and even followed up much later reg. how I was enjoying them. 10/10 will recommend.

So I got back my XTC Black Legend series from @John Massaria . He retuned it to Warm Yet Detailed as per my preference. And I have to say I am pretty pleased with the final result. Using them with the fuzzy pads, I can hear a deep reaching bass with a clear but not forward treble. Transparent...

I think around 115 USD with cable. Yes it comes in mmcx variant without cable also. No idea what is the price of that.

You're also in Europe. Perhaps contact @Kenyon ... he was thinking of placing another order to LREY in future, it will be better to club purchase, as otherwise shipping from Philippines to Europe is costly. Alternatively, I can act as a middleman. Shipping from there to India is 30 USD around...

Uhh...Proteus is indeed more balanced than W03 Pro. W03 Pro is Warm balanced, the bass is similarly deeper like Proteus, but with much fuller body. The midrange also has slightly more body but has more resolution as well. The treble notes sound a bit more better defined and better present in the...

Really happy to see you are enjoying them. I own both of them too. Bang for the price. Proteus is amazing as well.
