Hello. I haven't tried it with the Elear yet, but the Utopia worked well. (The Utopia can be too resolving with some amps). I sold my HD800s years ago..

A (brief) review of the Amps & Sound Kenzie Ovation: I recently received the Kenzie Ovation headphone amp as well as pair of Verite Closed cans. I have only had the rig for a few days, but I thought I would post my thoughts and impressions. I am by no means a YouTube sommelier of audio gear...

I am using Apple Music (as in the "new" iTunes to manage my playlists). The tracks were encoded in Apple Lossless codec. Even low res files benefited from the M-scaler.

Before I begin, I would like to give my thanks to Todd for offering the Chord M-scaler program. I believe I am the first person to take advantage of this loaner program. While I am not a fan of being the first adopter of cutting edge technology, I was intrigued enough by the press for the...

I just received my Liquid Carbon today - using LCD-Xs and Fostex TH-X00, it's smooth and effortless - I am not sure what if any difference there is between the LC and Schiit Ragnarok in overall characteristics - Solid build - I am very happy with my purchase; although the LC is currently...

Mark Up,   I vaguely remember the sound signature of MoFi's.  For me, the biggest negatives were the weight of the headphones and the way they pressed down on my jaw.  To put this into context, I also had a pair of LCD-2s at the time, which are be no means featherweights.  Regardless, the...

Lorspeaker,   So with the customary caveats regarding subjectivity as well as individual head sizes/shapes, I must say I find the Lola very comfortable.  To put this into context, I did previously have a pair of the MoFi's.  However, I returned them since they pressed rather uncomfortably...

So I sold my old gear (Woo Audio WA2 and WDS) and cans to make room for my endgame rig: Schiit Ragnarok and Yggdrasil.  I am using HE1000s as well as LCD-Xs.  For kicks, I plugged in the Blue Mic Lola's using the stock ribbon cable and 1/4 inch SE adapter.  I don't know what I was expecting, but...

RE: Care to share your thoughts on what was lacking on the XC's?   So some background first.  According to the representatives from Audeze at CanJam, the rationale behind the LCD-XC was the popular (unmet) demand for an Audeze closed back headphone.  They had shown some prototypes previously...

Re: how good is the Roxanne?   So first, there are some caveats.  I tend to appreciate what is commonly referred to "neutral" sounding headphones.  Ergo I use UE4's.  I was looking to upgrade to the JH-13s.  While I appreciate good bass response, I don't give it preference.  I listened to the...

The review video with the sneak previews was a genius move.  I went to the Audeze and JHAudio booths especially because of it.  I was somewhat underwhelmed by the closed back Audeze's (e.g. LCD-XC) but the new open back LCD-X was brilliant.  The new CIEM by JHAudio called Siren series Roxanne...
