OK I was stupid enough to try the Elites out while traveling about and now I'm seriously contemplating selling my Susvaras for the Meze. They have served me well for a couple of years but there was just this hard-to-describe magic in the Elites, the lushness I guess... I'm terrified I'm gonna...

So, all you lucky Svanar owners out there, have you concluded yet? Are they that much better than the ZE8000's and Mystiques' of the world?

How are the sound leakage from these? I just returned my freshly bought Bathys as they leaked like a sieve and effectively made them useless in the open office I planned to use them in...

Stellar guy! Superfriendly, quick communication and no problems at all. Would deal with again in a heartbeat!

One of the best buying experiences I've had on head-fi! Item was perfect and shipped promptly with lots of info updates along the way. Great and considerate guy all around and would deal with him again without hesitation!

Yes I have a Zen Dac and willing to add additional amping if necessary. Celestee is an option if their isolation is good enough.

Wooden cups might be sturdy enough but I wouldn't dare bring my Verite Cs to the office regardless :)

Looking for a new pair of closed backs for the office (open plan). Comfort and isolation are top priorities, budget about 2000 USD or so. Would prefer something not -too- delicate to scratches and marks, so wood is possible out of the question? Possible candidates are the Audeze XC, Aeon Noire...

Selling my Abyss AB-1266 TCs with all original accessories, wooden case ("Light" package) and the custom stand designed by Rooms Design and Headphone Auditions Amsterdam. They haven't seen much use and are in excellent condition. They are anyhow built like an absolute tank. More photos available...

Looking for a great condition Z1R with all accessories and tips if possible. Must be willing to ship to/within Europe. No trades. PM me if you have anything to offer :) Thank you!

So, after returning back to work at the office I felt the old upgradis coming on and I after living happily with the Meze 99 Classics at work I want to try something else. Open plan office makes isolation a top priority and hence comfort as well as I will be using them for many hours a day. At...

Ok I finally did something I never thought I’d do - After much deliberation I sold my beloved Empyreans, took my chances, and this weekend a pair of brand new Susvaras arrived... And I am completely shellshocked! They feel like what I have been searching for all my audiophiliac life...

Selling my pair of FIBAE Blacks universal IEMs that they unfortunately don't see much use anymore. These are incredible comfortable with a warm, relaxing sound signature. All accessories included - pelican case, blue carrying case, S,M,L and bi-flange tips, wax tool and certificate. In perfect...

I would love to hear more on how you regard the 1266s now in relation to the midrange issues. Do you think it is just a matter of adapting to its sound profile or is the May the secret sauce? How does the Susvara sound with the May for instance?

That's the most direct and refreshing feedback I've seen in a long time in this thread 🙂 I've had my TCs for a couple of months and have been agonizing about this exact same sentiment. In fact I find the music lacking emotion to such a degree that I barely want to listen to them. I much prefer...

Never had the pleasure. Bought the 1266 TC from reviews and excessive forum reading alone. Trying by buying is a very expensive approach to this hobby though.. I am in no way trying to slam the Abyss but there is a lack of emotion for lack of a better word compared to my other headphones...

Descriptions like these are what makes me seriously question my choice of 1266s. Curses for not being able to try before buying anything where I live! I wanna hear what you guys hear! 😛 Besides the Superconductor cable which makes every rational molecule in my being scream in pain, what are my...

May I just ask what you did to remedy this? I'm having the exact same impression after going from Empyrean and Stellia to the Abyss. I've only had them for about a week and their technical abilities are tremendous, they're comfortable and I get the great bass response everyone's talking about...

Have anyone heard these and the Meze 99 Classics? I am considering moving on from the 99s but wondering whether it would be a sufficient upgrade or not. Any comparisions would be appreciated :)

Hello guys, I am contemplating pulling the trigger on a pair of TC 1266s but agonising a bit about amp choices. I have a Linear Tube Audio MZ2 which I love in tandem with a Chord Hugo 2. My main headphones currently are the Empyreans and Verite Closed and they work wonderfully with the MZ2. I...

Hey there! I currently have a Hugo 2 as my main DAC/amp in combo with my main headphones, the Empyreans. As I recently added a tube amp to my system I was thinking of adding another DAC to this setup. I am intrigued by the R2R but will I really get anything -that- different from my H2 by going...

Have anyone tried this amp with the Meze Empyrean? I'm torn between this one and the Elise/Euforia.

To elaborate, I've so far narrowed this down to either the Lyr 3, Dragon Inspire IH-A1, Feliks Elise with gold tubes, Feliks Euforia or Linear Tube MZ2. If anyone who've heard these with the Empyrean and/or Hugo 2 could share their experience I'd appreciate it. Thank you :)

Hey all and hope everyone is well and safe, My primary setup is a Hugo2 unit combined with my favorite headphones ever, the Empyreans. I have been contemplating adding an amp stage in this setup, for now the budget is about $1000 give or take so value for money is important. I love a romantic...

Well, you will probably have to at some point. The DAC/USB connection of my WA8 died on me after 16 months and with Woo Audio's frankly atrocious warranty terms a repair is extremely costly. That being said, with the H2 it works brilliantly. I have one on loan at the moment and since the amp...
