Thanks! And yes, after much browsing through the galleries on the various Grado threads, I finally bit the bullet and ordered everything to get this done. Although the individual parts seem a bit pricey, the overall cost is still less than some of the higher-end Grados, and the end result looks...

Just got around to finishing my quarantine project, parts list in this build: - Turbulent X Drivers (2020 ver.) - Turbulent Labs Headband in Coffee color - Turbulent Labs Striped Rosewood Cups (ver. 1) - Shipibo Audio Classic Aluminum Gimbals and Rodblocks set - Mogami 2893 mini-quad cable...

I feel like Odin combines the best qualities of both Hero and Legend X, and refines them even more into a whole balanced package. I can see how this can be the end of the journey for some people, @kalsonc included. Not to mention that the faceplate is probably the most beautiful pattern I have...

Special thanks to @kalsonc for letting me experience his new Odin FE over this past weekend.

Yeah, overall it's pretty much the same basic design, but they reinforced the upper back area and made some small changes to the seat. Oh and you can get a fabric covering on the backrest now!

I've always wanted to try going in a submarine...but then I remember that I can't swim at all. Scotty can't beam me out of that one!

Finally got around to dusting off the table and taking a decent picture for once. Speaking of sound-enhancing chairs, I just got my Mirra 2 recently, which allowed for much more treble extension due to my wallet screaming.

It's a nice compact setup with a lot of value and included features. I hesitate to call it a 'budget' all-in-one, but there are definitely better sounding and more expensive options if one has the space and funds to do so. I moved from a Modi Multibit V2 and Asgard 3/Valhalla 2 combo to the...

That is actually the reason I posted them for sale. After I got the Edition X V2, I realized that my preference was not how the Clear had presented itself to me. After going through the Elear and enjoying its dynamic response and tonal richness, I had decided to buy the Clears, which I felt...

I had the Clears paired with my ADI-2 at first, and it was very good in terms of detail, tone, etc as they are not difficult to drive, so power is not an issue. I also tried EQ to kick up the lower treble/upper mids, but it didn't fit my preference as much as I thought it would. I was later...

I don't believe it's a defect, as all the pictures and reviews of the 'revision' seem to indicate that the change from the wire looking mesh to a thin cloth covering on the outer side was intentional. There are a few reasons they would have done this without noting it on the official page: -...

That looks considerably thicker than what the original "V2" Arya was viewed as having...it may just be the angle and lighting of the picture, but in any case a change to that area of a massive planar driver will definitely have a huge impact on the sound and may account for a lot of the newer...

If you're looking for something more laid back than the LCD-2 series, you may be looking in the wrong place for that sort of sound signature. Both the Ananda and Arya especially are noted mainly for their treble extension and clarity, also depending on what amplifier/upstream gear you will be...
