It would be nice if an GS-X MK3 included some components of the CFA3

Nice, I hate I sold my C9. It's was a perfect companion with the Mojo 2. It sounded and performed just as good as some desktop systems I owned in the past.

I have the Stellia's and HE-R10P's as my two closed back headphones of choice. I listened to the Stealth's and they are good on the right system. Dan Clark's headphones can be very demanding. The Stellia's are to easy to drive and sound great on just about any gear. To me that's their hat trick...

Yeah, the Stellia's are a noticeable step from the Elegia's. Glad you enjoyed the demo. They are definitely one of my favorite closed back headphones I've heard that suits my sonic preferences.

I owned the Elegia's for a stint and the Stellia’s is an upgrade in just about every way. The Stellia’s has better driver control which translates to better, tighter bass. The Stellia’s sound fuller with a bit more warmth. Imaging is more accurate, instrument separation is next level, treble is...

The MJ3 is still on my short list to pair with Yggy A2. You are making a good case for me to pull the trigger. You had some great gear come through your home and I wonder if the MJ3 has some staying power?

Good write up!

The Ether 2's are a rather power hungry set of cans. You may not get the most out of them with a portable device.

What are you planning on driving the E2's with? They sound the best with neutral amps and DAC's to my ears. Since the E2's do have a warm tilt to them. Staging on the E2's is not the widest or deepest I've heard, but they are good enough to not sound closed in. I enjoy my E2's quite a bit as...

"Harmonic Density" is a great description of what the Silver Fox brings to music

Anyone who owns both the R10P and R10D care to chime in on their performance differences?

Yep, I'm using a Norne Vygard with my HEKse's and the pairing is indeed delicious :)

Thanks for the reply. I like that it keeps the Tube Mini stable. One of the Tube Mini shortcomings is that when you move it, the tubes ring. The tubes eventually back settle down and the great sound returns, but it does take away from the music briefly.

I have a Zen Can and I also find it to be very, very good at driving headphones. When I had the Abyss Diana V2's I found the pairing to be excellent. The Zen Can is a very underrated compact amp with great features.

Is the Tube Mini very secure in the stand? Does it move around at all?

The tuning is slightly warmer, but just as detailed, if not more than the TH-900's. I think you will enjoy the R10P's with more music genres in my opinion.

V I have the Eddie Current Aficionado and a Yggy. The combo is superb with my HD800S's

Different headphones. The TH-900's have big bass, but it's flabby and loose in comparison to the R10P's. The TH-900's have a brighter treble with a v-shaped tuning. The R10P's are much better balanced with a more present and nuanced midrange. The bass is tighter, just as impactful with more sub...

I get mine tomorrow. It looks to be versatile enough to fit a number of different headphones!

Yes, the TH-909's are truly a unique sounding headphone. They are not trying to be the most technical headphones out here. Yet they have enough technicalities to compete with other top tier headphones at their price point and somewhat above. The TH-909's have top notch clarity and great...

The HD800S's pair very well with my Silver Fox. Nothing is missing from a sonic standpoint.

I had the C9 and WA8 at the same time. They both were great, the WA8 had a heftier low end and was a little more detailed. Had it had a balanced connection I probably would've held onto to it. I kept the C9 as it was really close in overall performance to the WA8 with more power. I feed both...

Yes, although not a manufacturer direct replacement, I've had nothing but good luck using Dekoni pads on my headphones.
