Excellent transaction with a_screaming (Jason). Very prompt and clear communications and everything went very smoothly. Pleasant gentleman to converse with and I highly recommend for any transactions in the future.

Sadly, I'm having to part with my AB-1266 Phi TC + 10' JPS Superconductor Cable + Room's custom stand for the AB-1266 + Moon Audio Silver Dragon XLR to speaker taps adapter for driving the AB-1266 out of a speaker power amplifier. I bought the AB-1266 Phi TC in 2021 and the 10' JPS...

RAAL SR1a with interface box and Moon Audio Bronze 10' headphone cable for this headphone plus Moon Audio Bronze 3' speaker cables. ZMF headband is also included, which improves comfort for long listening sessions. All original cables are included. In virtually perfect condition and has never...

Still one of the very best dynamic driver headphones around with legendary soundstage. Selling it because I've settled on the Abyss AB-1266 Phi TC and the RAAL SR1a for over-ears wired headphones and I mostly listen with wireless ANC headphones and earbuds these days. In excellent and...

Selling this fine DAC and headphone amp as I'm also selling the Abyss Diana Phi headphone for which it is a great match. It didn't quite meet my portability requirements for frequent travel for both business and pleasure so I've settled on some ANC wireless headphones and earbuds for those...

Selling this great headphone as I already own the AB-1266 Phi TC and settled on B&O Beoplay H95 ANC wireless for mobile usage. Decided that the Diana Phi is overkill and just too good for occasional travel and/or office usage. Only about 4 months old purchased direct from Abyss along with the...

"audio-musico-philes"... I really like that. :beerchug: I always take the time to look up your recommendations and will certainly check out this Romanian Folk Dances album this evening. Just favorited it on Qobuz. Of course, the Brahms sonata I'm already familiar with. Yes, the early...

A dream team this is: Mischa and Martha! For me, the cello sonatas seem to be a better match than the violin sonatas. On "paper", the piano would seem like a better match for the violin to complement each other but I've always found that I enjoyed the interplay between the piano and cello more...

Love your reviews and insights, especially since your musical tastes are so aligned with mine. I'm not a tenths as experienced or knowledgeable as you are when it comes to audiophile gear and SQ but I can certainly relate with every detail you describe. Like you, I'm much more about getting into...

Spontaneity is cool. It's why I love jazz! :L3000: Keep up the great work.

Been spending some lost time with the SR1a after having been absorbed in the 1266 TC and Diana Phi over the past several months. It had been a while and, I have to say, the SR1a remains as amazing as I had remembered it when I first heard it back in February or so. The clarity and imaging are...

Nice review, man! Had to focus as there seemed to be a lot of "reverb" happening but I got the gist of it. My only recollection of the Susvara - when I had it on loan for a few months - was through the TT2's SE front-end which I know didn't do it justice so I can't offer my own personal judgment...

Yes, since we are virtually neighbors when you are down here, it'd be great to hook up sometime when this pandemic thing fully blows over. I'm always going to keep up with what's going on in this crazy and interesting audiophile world and I'll always be curious; I'm just spreading out my...

Yes, of course, if you have the means, it's certainly a better addiction than alcohol and drugs. And, believe me, I do know what you are talking about in regards to the release of endorphins with every new improvement in the signal chain, which is dangerous for me! Haha :beyersmile:

Thanks! As I mentioned, I can't thank some of the members here enough for their kind help and sharing their experience and knowledge. I definitely plan to keep checking in every now and then and contribute when I can as well as read up on interesting things, which there always is! It's...

Yep, that's the new "journey" ahead of me. The 45' RV will have to wait until my boys finish school but, until then, I can rent them and pull the Jeep around to go off-roading - FINALLY! I'm thinking, "Why have you pushed this off for such a long time?" Haha. Could have gotten a DAVE or Rossini...

Well, I can honestly say that I've moved on from this "addiction". Like you, I just want to enjoy the music now in all kinds of different settings and environments after focusing on gear the past half-year or so. I also want to get back to enjoying other things like travel (for both business and...

First of all, congrats on finally receiving your AB-1266 TC! Not spending as much time as I used to here. Got a lot of other things going on and I decided I'm totally set and happy with what I have so I've kind of lost interest in even looking at any other gear. Haha. Planning another RV trip up...

I looked up the Unimogs. Man, now that is some extreme stuff. Well, I'm too old for that now! Haha. I definitely want to do some off-roading but, like you say, that's a whole different level.

I never paid too much attention to the big rigs that serious vacationers took on their trips until this one. Man, these people are serious about what they take on the road with them. I was so blown away by some RVs and what they brought with them. And I would see these huge RVs and trucks...

I just returned from a great family RV vacation trip to southern Utah to visit Zion and Bryce Canyon NPs (as well as few places in Nevada and Arizona like Lake Mead) and I actually took my full-blown Chord stack with me to enjoy the Abyss 1266 TC while star gazing every night at the RV...

Oh no, I'm not getting out of it. I'm just "rebalancing" my priorities. I still plan to get the Susvara eventually because I wouldn't need to change or add anything else to my current setup but I don't think things like a big tube amp and a high-end server/streamer or a major DAC upgrade are in...

Well, this is a different "section" of the wallet. I'd call it the "lifestyle" section while audiophile is indeed more of a "hobby". It's also something my wife also wants a lot too so she wholly approves and wants for our shared lifestyles. This audiophile hobby is strictly about myself and...

Yes, it didn't really occur to me that I should listen to music outdoors either. My mobile setups for primarily for taking on business trips or weekend getaways. Then, some years ago, I decided I really should exercise more and take walks and go hiking around the local mountain trails since I...

I'd say it's definitely worth a shot with something not too big, bulky or complex in terms of setup. Mother Nature and great music with great sound is indeed an amazing combination.
