Stuck Limo, I've noticed you listed a few products Larry has decided are "Financially dead ends". With all due respect, I don't think the products themselves are financial dead ends. In all honestly I believe your CEO is a financial dead end. I think LH Labs could have been very successful...

So you didn't need to crack open the Asteria because you already opened the Dorado... excellent R&D work.

How on earth is a dumpster fire of a company like Light Harmonics still in business? The blatant box art rip off is hilarious.

I'd agree with your point if it was 3 years ago and when these were new to the market. We've been there, and done that already. There's nothing wrong with having a discussion to help people choose, but you can't come to a conclusion when relying solely on one set of measurements.... especially...

If you haven't even heard these, what is the point of your post in the first place? What an odd, pointless soapbox rant.

I seriously hope that's not the final design of the SP15. The novelty of that crooked screen has already worn off, and I've only seen it a picture of it online.

Too much in regards to sound signature. It was too much bass (particularly mid-bass), too much forward everything. The mids aren't drowned out as you'd expect from a standard "V" shape. Everything is up front and in your face. It's crystal clean all the way throughout the entire spectrum though...

Here are my notes from today in no particular order: - Sennheiser HD820: Looks and sound amazing. The sound stage is the widest I've heard in a closed headphone, but it still sounds closed. Bass is tight and rich, with a surprising amount of sub-bass for an HD8xx. Overall sound is airy but a...

It's not out yet. Pre-orders are open now, and shipping in May I believe. Not sure about the other existing iems, but I think you may be able too. They had Comets for purchase today.

I just came back from Canjam as well and I agree with the Atlas impressions. It's a Vega on steroids. Bigger, cleaner, harder hitting, larger sound stage, but still smooth as silk. If the Vega is a nice 32oz porterhouse steak, the Atlas is a 64oz tomahawk ribeye. I think it's a pretty amazing...

I love that these can be worn cable down. Looking forward to listening to them both at LA this weekend.

These are the iems I've heard recently enough to remember. 1) Sennheiser IE800S - tie (I like the slight "V" shape, but more balanced sound. Best imaging I've heard in an iem) 1) Campfire Audio Vega - tie (imo the best basshead iem on the market) 3) Dunu DN-2000J (modded to dampen treble) 4)...

Just building on these posts. Recently I've been pairing this up with an older Oppo HA-2 amp/dac that I have, and I think it's the best pairing I've heard yet. The oppo ha-2 has an output impedance of 0.5 ohm, and it seems to make all the difference. The MD Plus is tight and clean across the...

I personally wouldn't commute with these. The isolation is good enough, but not really the best. Sound does leak. The cups also look comically large for a portable headphone, but if you're cool with that look, then more power to you. If you're really willing to spend $1000 on commuter headphones...

The Dorado sounds fantastic. It’s the long and thick nossle that turns off people. I couldn’t get a comfortable fit to save my life. I ended up buying a Vega instead.

This is my current set up right now. It sounds fantastic. Even though the output impedance is somewhat high in balanced mode (3ohm), the background remains silent, and I can't hear any distortion up to the point where it's too loud for me (around 65).

You're right about this. I started messing around with the balanced and unbalanced cables I have, and it seems to confirm what you're saying. The output impedance on the balanced out on my AK70 mkII is 3ohm. The bass can sound flabby if pushed too hard. The unbalanced out of the AK70 mkII is...

I just received my pair a few days ago, and am pleased with these iem's so far. The build quality is very nice, and fit/comfort is down right fantastic with the right tip (I'm using the smallest sized spin-fit tip). The iem almost "disappears" after about 10 minutes of listening, and it's...

Yes. It should have no issues with the TH900.

^ I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this sounds.

That's an accurate description of my experience with the PMx2 + RME ADI-2 pro as well. As for the popularity of this thread... I guess that was to be expected. The PMx2 isn't the "new new" anymore, the Oppo PM-2 is discontinued, and big companies who release TOTL headphones get all the...

Looks great. Nice and tidy. I wish they kept the balanced headphone out and dual dac, but hopefully the price will reflect this. If it's around the $1000 usd range it should be well received.

If anyone is on the fence, A&K is having a cyber monday sale. The AK70 MKII is $595 usd for today only. https://us.astellnkern.com/collections/bfcm/products/ak70-mkii-bfcm-promotion

LOL. I was amused by that part. The review is very well written (as all of his are). He's an active poster here: HuoYuanJia. Maybe he will drop by the thread sometime.
