Do these have the vegan cactus leather headband or is it real leather? What about the usual dark bronze and titanium grey colors? Do they have real leather? The description on Abyss's website says: "Sporty European leather headband with soft Alcantara® padded to eliminate hot spots (VEGAN...

Is this a class A or AB amp?

Hi all, Just wanted to see if there was any interest out there for the Diana Phi. Not interested in any trades. I'm the original owner. I bought them in December 2020. It will include all the original accessories and a stock 4 pin XLR cable. Price includes PayPal fees. Shipping fees to be...

Fast payment, great communication! Highly recommended.

Hello all, Selling my like new Cocobolo Atrium They initially had a driver imbalance that persisted after burning them in for 72 hours, so Zach asked me to send them on repair. They have returned and no longer have a driver imbalance. Have listened and worn them for approximately 30 minutes...

I finally got my Atrium after a very lengthy delay at customs. There was mention on this thread in the past about ZMF eventually offering a customization shop to better tailor what kind of grain you'd like. I initially bought a VC from an authorised retailer and it was obviously...

I've listened to three different pairs. They all had the same issue. As quoted before in this thread, it seems Focal made this design on purpose. Apart from the low frequency clipping issue, they sounded great.

Yes, it was the most pathetic thing I have ever encountered in a flagship headphone. My brother who listens to music at a more conservative listening volume also thought it was pathetic when he had a listen. The Stellia also had the clipping problem albeit it being a bit less noticeable than the...

If Focal removes their purposeful design of having the driver distort at lower frequencies with slightly higher volumes, I might be interested. I hope some people here will be able to chime in on that issue once it has been out a bit longer.

I'm in ;) #

I might have a chance to audition the WA33 very soon. Just wanted to ask if anyone knew what the exact voltage gain was for the low and high gain?

I was hoping to see a preview of the Abyss Diana Closed headphone :( Looks like it's still not ready. Otherwise, great preview as always!

Is there something going on at JH Audio? I still haven't heard a response and I tried to DM @nedplimpton but it appears he hasn't been online since Nov 29, 2021?

I've sent him a PM. Thanks for the reply :) Hopefully I'll get this sorted out now.

Don't mean to derail the thread, but i just wanted to find out if anyone has been having issues trying to get ahold of JH audio? I have an issue with a new IEM I purchased from a dealer at the end of December 2021. My dealer has sent multiple messages to JH Audio, and we haven't heard anything back.

Hi all, I'm considering putting up my ZMF Verite Closed Desert Ironwood up for sale. I'm the original owner. They are in excellent condition. There are a few paint chips on the magnesium chassis, which appears to be a known issue. They will come with the ZMF wooden box and all included...

If his headphones are under warranty, why is he paying for repair costs?

Hi all, Just wanted to see if there was someone willing to sell their LCD 4 (not the 4Z). Looking for a set in near mint condition if possible and with some remaining warranty. I'm also located in Canada, so if you're based in Canada even better ;) DM me to discuss. Kind regards, Simon

They look good. And the weight reduction is awesome. With Jude mentioning he needed to EQ the bass a little bit, wasn't too happy to hear that. I do wonder whether the earpads are detachable? Looks like they are applied the same way like the previous LCDs

I've bought plenty of flagship headphones over the years including the Abyss 1266, Susvara, LCD-4, Diana Phi, etc. Of those headphones, the Susvara had the worst build quality and the pads and the stock cable were atrocious at that price point. It was definitely a cost saving measure on...

Still not a good excuse to use synthetic leather at this price point ;)

Yup, I agree with your sentiment. Protein leather or synthetic leather is absolutely unacceptable at this price point. It doesn't matter how good the quality of synthetic leather is, it will not last long. It doesn't matter where I encountered synthetic leather, whether it be some sofa furniture...

Electrostat?

Why? What happened?

Unfortunately i don't. Sorry!
