Sadly a family emergency occured and I am unable to attend. :triportsad: Have fun y'all!

Does anyone have a tube amp to bring? I want to try the Atticus with more than a hybrid amp.

Thanks for getting this going @manywelps! I should be able to attend. I have the following gear I can bring etc: AeonClosed 2 ZMF Atticus Hifiman Arya v2 Hifiman EdXv2 Audioquest Nightowl CA Andromeda CA Atlas Ifi idsd black label Thx 789

I bought this one. Works as it should, no microphonics.

Thanks for the info!

Is there anywhere to buy a replacement headband? The left sliding piece does not lock into the holes anymore.

Thought I'd add something to this thread; been a while since buying the PBP at release. I use the Final Audio type E tips, as well as the spiral dots. Previously I've mentioned that I use these for any activity where I could damage earphones, such as working out, yardwork, woodwork, construction...

How long have you owned it?

Most likely. It is out of warranty period so I'd like to have a way of attempting repair.

My D50 died many months ago. Recently I took it apart to find the reason, unsuccessfully. When I plug in a power cord, 5V 1+A, the unit will get extremely hot, and nothing will appear on the lcd, nor will the device be recognized by Windows. Does anyone have advice on what/where to troubleshoot?

I would ask for an exchange. Amazon will agree to it.

Where'd you buy them from? They used to belong to a Claudia.

Just want to put some things down about the AFC1 and AFC2 in this forum while I have a spare minute... I upgraded from the AFC1 (bought pre-order sale) to the AFC2 recently and have been very happy with my decision. I used to say the ifi black label + AFC1 was my desert island setup, but that...

The durability of the Powerbeats is very good. I use my pair when doing something I might damage or break any other iem, such as yard work, woodworking, house maintenance, or any time I want to use the physical buttons. They've been covered in dust, submerged, muddied, dropped, etc and no issues...

@manywelps Would you like for us to bring these things?

We can settle the debate (in my head) about the Elear + Elex Pads vs Stock Elex :L3000:

Completely agree. I could lose everything else as long as I have my AFC and ifi BL.

There is enough time to plan ahead, I should be able to attend. My collection is: Headphones: Atticus Aeon Closed HFM Xv2 Elear 6xx 58x Nightowl Mobius Andromeda Atlas Ex800 Dacs /Amps: Thx789 MCTH Ifi black label Es100 E1da Powerdac v2 Khadas toneboard I can bring any and all if desired...

I've seen it mentioned many places that these iems are supposed to be semi-open and I only got that feeling when the tips did not actually seal. IMO the people saying that (semi-open) are stuck using the stock tips and can't/won't tip roll.

I'll second the comment about tips. Until I found a good fit (final type e) I was very dissatisfied with the sound. For working out and in general, the physical buttons are a major advantage over the airpod/pro.

Plenty of clamp. The nuggets compress a lot and are very soft.

My solution to the uncomfortable headband. Dekoni nuggets.

I can’t remember where I read this but it had Zach saying the Atticus needs 250mw-350mw (depending on volume level) at 300ohm for best sound quality.

About your cable? Looks like it’s a bad cable... you figured that out
