Any issues putting the soloist on its side with the extensions installed? Thinking of putting the V6 vivid on extensions but wonder whether it will pull it loose if I put it vertical.

Might be metal on metal contact, if you can, some lube can help. It might be best to see exactly where the sound is coming from.

If anyone wants a replacement headband, audio46 just came in stock with them. I have been talking to final and their shipment finally arrived.

They really are, I have tried a decent amount of headphones now and the D8k OG with H pads are so perfect for me that it spoils other options. It fixes any issues I had with the OG D8k and improves the comfort. Even with other headphones like utopia or atrium, I always seem to fall back to the...

Sounds good, I guess its time to find a V7 or SIL994, I have a r2r dac and I am counting on that to give the sound a little warmer signature. If not, I will just get a V7 classic and replace the volume or input stage.

I like some attack in my amp so I think I will do SS2590 in the voltage stage with extensions, input will be the V7 vivids or SIL994 and I will just leave the V6 vivids as volume. How would you say the SIL994 or v7 vivids differ in sound profile?

Thanks, I'll look into the hugo tt2, maybe I will get the hugo 2 as a stand in for now.

I have a 2021 Burson soloist 3x gt coming this week to power my susvara and I have a few questions about the op amp choices. It seems the ss2590 is the preferred choice but where is the best place for the ss2590? I saw the diagram but I am still confused about whether the input buffer, voltage...

I have a susvara coming in for the first time and I will be pairing it with a Burson soloist 3x gt, I was thinking of just using the Himalaya r2r dac in my hifiman, is it advisable to get a better dac and what synergy would I be looking for? Preferably it will have a small desktop footprint.

Thanks! Thats very helpful, being able to feel the rumble is exactly what I wanted. I absolutely love that about my d8k and even the utopia to an extent. Guess its time to take the plunge into the x9000 and electrostatics.

I just worry that the x9000 won't have enough body behind its notes, I am not a basshead but its important to have that to have some realism.

I am deciding on this or the susvara and I have never tried an electrostat. Can anyone chime in on how the X9000 handles bassy aspects such as drums? I listen to lots of orchestral pieces that have deep drums so I would like some body behind the notes. I know the x9000 handles bass better than...

Thanks, I will just do that. The hypsos is tempting though, never tried additional power pack to an amp so no idea how large the improvement will be

Great seller, he guided me through some shipping difficulties and made the process much easier. Highly recommend buying from him.

Looking for a stax x9000 in good condition.

Has anyone tried the ferrum oor without the hypsos? I know it’s recommend to pair them up but I just want to see if I can save some money and just get the ferrum oor.

PM

Great seller, he shipped it quickly and everything was in great condition. Recommend buying from him.

Anyone know if there are differences in sound quality between the ifi pro ican signature and non signature model?

First utopia and she is a beauty

The price point of the 433 looks really enticing, the 394 ii is great but it is a little costly for me. It would be interesting to test it out with more power hungry headphones. I think lots of us are interested in the upcoming review of the 433.

I was thinking of that amp, I was deciding between the MK 433 or the 394 II. Do you think the 433 has enough power for other headphones like the 1266? I also heard it has a warm sound profile, would say that it is similar to a violectric warmness?

Looking for the pre-2022 version of the focal utopia.

Looking for a DCA E3 for sale.

Does anyone have experience EQ the solitaire P-SE? It seems that some recommend some EQ to reduce the upper treble and that it can come close to the solitaire P's sound signature.
