Great seller! Quick to respond to all messages, very straightforward, provided additional screenshots, shipped out next day after payment, and everything came as described and was packaged securely. Would buy from him again in a heartbeat!

Thank you both for your feedback! Looking for an eventual progression of the GSX mini so the latest and greatest solid state from Headamp would of course be on the list. Looks like we'll be getting listening impressions soonish as looks like they are going to start fulfilling orders soon.

I meant to get over there but then sadly life cropped up. Did you/anyone get a chance to listen to the CFA3 and what did you think?

Looks like the meet was a great one! Love seeing the pictures so if anyone has more that they want to share in the event thread, please do! (really liked the IEM table!). I intend to make it to the next one. Speaking of, let's hope it's not quite as long till our next one, as it sounds like...

Pads arrived yesterday and I figured I'd add my rambling impressions to the no doubt numerous and more eloquently worded impressions found elsewhere in this thread. The angled Alcantara served my number one concern, in that my ears don't touch the sides and have considerably more depth to them...

For real - I really enjoy the sound signature of the hybrids, I just need about 3-5mm more of clearance for my ear not to smush.

Great review! Looks like I'll be giving them a go, especially with your notes on comfort! What's another hit to the wallet? I do wish there was a hybrid pad with the enhanced depth offered by the Alcantara/Angled Alcantara, as I really like the sound signature for longer listening sessions, but...

Excited to see your impressions! To clarify; your review is the Angled Alcantara on the base empyreans, not the Elites?

Recently got myself a pair of Elites and am so pleased with my analysis and final decision after comparing far too many headphones for far too long. Running it through an RME ADI-2 DAC FS to a GSX-mini over a balanced connection, truly an incredible set up that brings so much life to a music...

I wish I had more characters! Adrian is a perfect seller and you shouldn’t hesitate to buy from him. He navigated the tricky international shipping process and kept me informed throughout. Secure shipment, Elites were exactly as described – flawless! Thx!

Joe was very responsive, had secure and rapid shipping, and was a professional to work with. ADI-2 arrived in perfect condition. Even had a very small discrepancy with the items shipped and he immediately fixed it. Don't hesitate to work with him!

I'm 90% sure I'm still in for Sep 30th. Can double check tonight. Thanks for the troubleshooting @VanHai !

We got four! Let's keep it going

Alright y'all, let's get it going! In order to get a sense of if the date will work, by a show of hands, who would be able to/want to attend a meet on Saturday, September 9th, 2023 (9/9/23)? This would be in Fairfax, VA at Mott Community Center, time TBD but likely 10-2pm or 12-4pm. Depending on...

Still, a great deal. You figure 30 min set up and 30 min tear down, and a 4hr meet, so 5hrs at $90. Get 10 people and we’re at $10 per person, I’m confident that folks (including myself) would fill in the gap if need be. Let’s keep the momentum going. What kind of advance reservation do you...

This sounds like a much better deal than what I found haha. I'm in if I don't have a conflict!

Thanks Ken. Vienna Community Center, and yes there is free parking and there's a little access lane where you can pull up more or less right in front, although having some dollys to take equipment to the room we'd use would be a smart idea. It looks like for 3 hours, which would feel about...

Bumping the bump, would love to get something in this year other than Capital AudioFest. I know of a community space but it requires 6 months in advance for rental, so it would need to be in December 2023. Also, there is a fee associated with renting. For someone who has hosted an event, is that...

Ohhh man, I think we could have an event just for that. Totally understandable though if you rather pass on bringing it. Will love to hear the gilmore. I’ll be there with my Ether Flow Open 1.1, and Oppo Pm-3, around 2.

Despite looking pretty extensively online for the following answers, I couldn't definitively find the answer to the following two thoughts. So with the 1.1 tuning kit, is the intended upgrade procedure; take off the ear pad remove the stock, circular black foam dampening (this will have...
