I am sad, after looking at monoprice.com. Most of the audio gear we love from them has jumped in price. Liquid Spark: $199 Liquid Gold: $999 Liquid Platinum DAC: $999 Headphones did not go up, but are currently not discounted unless it's an open box. Based on current prices, my desk setup...

Yeah it is, the Tesla 2.0 drivers are very nice compared to the lesser siblings.

I remember there being an Immerse edition for Beyerdynamic headphones, as I did not see them listed on that link. Sure enough, it still exists, but it's hiding on Beyer's site https://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/immerse (used to be on Immerse's) I did test this app out with my DT-1990...

AMT are $669 on MP's Ebay storefront https://www.ebay.com/itm/375042118412

I guess they do make their own drivers, tho perhaps the sheet material they fold is produced for them.

I saw this post over on Reddit, and thought it worth sharing about how headphones work and balanced / SE:

The HEDD and the Monolith AMT use the same drivers, so it has to be the tuning. GoldPlanar or their affiliate company makes the VVT driver the three use.

Yes, but I didn't see one listed on his gear, thus why I asked.

No subwoofer?

I missed your question about the Audeze mic mini-XLR cable on the Monolith AMT. No, because the port is wired with 2 pins reversed, because this is what GoldPlanar uses. There are adapters made, or you can resolder those two pins. (I've seen both done) Pin layout is on the product page (same...

Thus why we have preamps :)

My friend in Wagga Wagga NSW orders from Monoprice.com, ships from California, pays no tax, and costs him $46 to ship his headphones. (M1570) Got them in just over a week. Yes, it is rather a bold statement, and demonstrates just how blown away I am by the quality of these cans. They dig...

Curious to hear who here considers their AMT's to be their endgame?

Monolith AMT, kicks the butt of a lot of kilobuck cans, including HD-800S, HEKv2, HE6v2, etc. The tech is just better than dynamic and planar drivers. The imaging is meticulous, the sound field is holographic and deep, with great layering both side to side and front/back. Other headphones...

I would like to introduce you to my nearly 30-yr old set of HD-580. :) Sporting indestructible Dekoni Elite Velour pads, and replaced headband cushion, and a balanced cable: (Yes, I got tired of paying the Sennheiser tax and buying new pads every 2-3 years at $50 a pop for OEM replacements...

You can be like @hottyson and get 1-2 pairs for "just in case" when they go on sale again down to $450.

AMTs were taken off Ebay, and mp.com has them at full price, so meh.

Agreed, I use the Velours on my set too.

Which is one great reason why I love my AMT headphones: estat-grade detail, and I can have the great bass response AND still hear minute detail

Just remember, when you change headphones, and your HRTF app has timing adjustments / head measurements (same thing), you need to adjust them again to get the sweetspot.

You neglected to link the pic of the chamber filled with polyfill :)

As am I but I have a Left shelf of +7.5dB, where you have a -1.5dB
