    Selling my Ether CX and they come with everything, including the box, that they were shipped with from Drop (formerly massdrop). They are broken in and in perfect condition/working order. I really did enjoy these cans but I bought them for portable use and unfortunately they need a lot of power...

    Selling my Astell & Kern Kann cube since I don’t need the portable power any longer. I bought this when it came out as a preorder and it is in perfect condition, comes with box and all accessories that came with it.

    Selling my Aeon Flow closed backs, they have just been sitting in their box for years now and I don’t see the need in keeping them. They come with the standard cable and a balanced cable, excellent condition and in the box.

    HEDD Announces HEDDphone With AMT Technology

    You are probably right, I have had my suspicions for a while because it didn’t do so well with a couple of Beyer and Sennheiser that I have either but I prefer them from my McIntosh unbalanced. I guess it’s time to find a new balanced AMP.

    HEDD Announces HEDDphone With AMT Technology

    They work as balanced headphone amp too and provide the same power as the 6.3 mm( at least according to SPL). With my Audeze I never had any problems, just with the Heddphone.

    HEDD Announces HEDDphone With AMT Technology

    Everything is set right on the Voltage side, I have had the SPL for almost 2 years now. I am not sure what’s going on, could be the adapter/cable combo for the Heddphone or I need more power from the DAC to the SPL and no switches. When running unbalanced the SPL powers them with 0 problems...

    HEDD Announces HEDDphone With AMT Technology

    The thing I hate about the switches on the SPL is that the distortion sets in rather quickly once they are turned on(specific to balanced) Using 4v output from the DAC and no switches is not satisfying but With one switch I need to adjust the output from the DAC to 2.5v to reduce the distortion...

    HEDD Announces HEDDphone With AMT Technology

    In terms of power that is a lot less than the SPL I have. Are you happy in balanced mode ? Hate to think that for $1,600 less I could have been happier but these headphones are making me think the SPL is just not the right combo.

    HEDD Announces HEDDphone With AMT Technology

    I love the sound, and the fit is killing me because it is way too large and keeps sliding all over the place so I might need to find a ver 1 but aside from that what is everyone using to drive these ? When using my SPL Phonitor 2 on the balanced output I have to turn the volume to max depending...

    Focal Stellia Review, Measurements, Interview - Head-Fi TV

    If this ends up anything like their venture into closed back with the Elegia it will most certainly be a skip for me. Certainly worth a go at listening but no preorder here. And if they depend on the pads to do the mids and bass it’s a sure pass.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    No worries specially about headphones.com, I talk to the owners regularly and they are great guys who are into this as much as us and actually care about what they sell. My only thing was for people to just trust their own ears, people getting critical about some things might be exactly...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I think closed versus open is key here. I am sure some people will disagree with me but the Elegia is meant to be a portable headphone and to me it excels at that. I am sorry but if you buy the Elegia for your home listening then I feel that you are buying yourself short. While I respect that...

    Now that the Mac mini no longer has upgradable SSD what options do we have?

    So, that was a lot to take in..... 1TB SSD is $130 and then the enclosure to house it and keep up with the speed $40, so 1TB SSD is $170 all in let’s say. So based on that we can say that basic model Mac Mini is $799 plus the $170 so let’s round up at $970. First and most important is that...

    Now that the Mac mini no longer has upgradable SSD what options do we have?

    For the longest time the Apple Mac Mini was probably the king of music servers for the majority of the public who wanted a server without a monitor that could be tucked away and unseen. In 2018 Apple took away the upgradable SSD for the Mac Mini which in my opinion was because they say that 1TB...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    To be fair it could be my gear, it’s pretty much direct with 0 color but either way, with the Utopia pads it was nothing more than squealing, like I mentioned when I first got the pads here in this thread it was like someone with apple ear buds in front of you on an airplane playing their music...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    To be honest I think the graph was pretty spot on.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    I was 99.9% sure that you were talking about the graph and I was thinking to myself “why are these guys upset that he didn’t like the brainwave pads chart to the point that they are bashing him” but it wasn’t my place to step in to question the brainwaves love that they have or defend your...

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    Any of the other focal pads sound awful on the Elegia. The Elegia pads are designed to carry just about everything quality wise, without the Elegia specific pads the Elegia are pretty much worthless sadly.

    Focal Elegia - what do you think?

    The pads very well could be the culprit if not sealed properly, I know first hand that even changing to the Utopia pads ruin this headphone.

    Need help deciding on pulling the trigger on some Sennheiser 800s

    Hello all! I am contemplating getting the Sennheiser 800s to see what the hype is all about and while everyone’s ear is different I was hoping to get some feedback for those who have owned both the Sennheiser 800s and the Audeze LCD-2 revision 2(with fazor, 2016 model) and what made them lean...

    Did you try the chat function during their business hours? Seems to be the best way to get them.
