These are some great headphones. Once I got the headband adjusted, they fit great and do not feel like 400+ grams. Started out with the thicker pads that were installed, swapped to the universe pads and haven't looked back. I have the pheasant wood, which is gorgeous in person. The pictures...

Today is a good day, got my Verites delivered. Been super busy lately and haven't had time for my headphones, but I am making time this weekend. Pictures do not do these headphones justice. They are immaculate.

I checked out that band on tidal briefly and from what I head the records are mastered a little lean in the lower frequencies. Even with my th900s there was no bass I could feel. Gotta run, Ill try to give it a listen tonight.

Cool, will check it out. Wasn't trying to put you on the spot, just haven't heard that term used before.

Stay away from new Hifiman products is the lesson to learn. Horrible resale value, and a saturated product stack means you will never be able to sell it for anything close to what you paid for it. Buying used seems to be the way to go, so long as you are comfortable with the sometimes suspect...

Can you give an example of a metal track with slam and 'roar'? Thanks

Facts.

That's why I would like to see some good measurements, it needs just a slight eq and then it is perfect. Took me a few weeks to realize that, but a boost in the lower treble seems to really help on some recordings.

Ive had really good luck with the matsushita pcc88s, also the telefunken pcc88's are a bit more expensive but really nice and maybe better. Not sure yet, but they need to be burned in a bit, mine were a bit warm for my taste w/ E2 at first. Seem to be opening up pretty good. I was impressed...

That, imo, is the smart move. Figure out which you like best, not which costs more or is technically better.

It works well, I like the pairing. That said, E2 works really well with SS amps as well. You get a nice clean punchy sound.

E2 has exquisite bass. I still have my th900 and LCD 2v2. The lcd's currently have vegan pads, which lose some bass. It does not have the visceral slam of the th900, but it extends down really low and is never bloated. It is by far the best bass out of any headphone I have experienced. You can...

I owned a lcd 2v2 before purchasing a th900 mk1. The lcd's collected dust for 4 years. ymmv.

Very cool album from start to finish!

there are a few of us floating around, cheers!

Quick update on tubes for E2. I spent most of the day with my daughter, so the matsushita's were left playing all day until I got some time this evening. I think this is the tube that I can without a doubt say is worth the $80 I spent on them. I think they are going to be my go to, the most...

I think Dan mentioned sensitivity was somewhere in the low 90s and the impedance is 16 ohms. So I was giving Kesha Rainbow album a go, because why not. And at the end of Let Them Talk leading into Woman, I literally jumped out of my skin thinking someone was behind me. E2 gonna give me a heart...

You should give Gumby a hard look. A lot of performance for 1.2k, and it really works well with E2.

I wouldn't even worry about the ohms/sensitivity, just get the right headphone for you. ' If you think you need some isolation, check out the Massdrop Fostex trx00. They are just a hair over $400 and are pretty awesome. I love the fostex bass and v shaped sound signature, very popular. Else I...

The impedance rating (ohms) is the resistance of the driver, the sensitivity is what really matters when calculating how much power it will take to drive a specific headphone. That said, the fulla 2 should have enough juice for most headphones, so no worries there. For better headphones, first...

I need to audition the genalex gold lions again because my remembered impressions were with my th900. I just remember that it emphasized the bass, and was a no go with th900. It also seems impressions for that tube are all over the place with one site listing it as 4/5 bright, and others saying...

I am in tube heaven right now. I have in my possession right now Telefunken 7dj8s, Matsushita 7dj8, some valvo 6201's, plus some of the new production tubes you can buy. I spent all last night with the telefunken's, and they are pretty special. They are an excellent pairing with my th900s...

I wish I had bought them from the start, would have been a lot cheaper. I am not the best at describing sound, but I will give it a go. Lots of space, great extension without being harsh, just effortless music reproduction. Bass seems perfect. It is the first tube that I have tried that pairs...

Giving this a go now with my newly arrived telefunken 7dj8s. Nice recommendation! Are you using electro harmonix tubes? I tired those out again today, and they actually pair well with E2.

Let us know what you think for sure. I am thinking about selling my massdrop thx amp, and getting this amp instead for my work setup. Hopefully you have better luck than I did with the gold lion tubes, I didn't care for them too much.
