Hey all! I saw the Liquid platinum on sale and was wondering if anyone had any experience pairing it with the caldera and how good a combo it is. I'm using the Asgard 3 and was wondering if it would be an upgrade for the caldera.

Classical music is the only reason I've reached for my 800S since receiving my Caldera. Stock leather pads seemed to help in comparison to the suede, but it is definitely not the best genre fit for the headphones.

I also had issues swapping pads when I was A/Bing the stock and suede and testing the Caldera pads on a VO. I had to get a friend to swap them for me and even he said it was much more difficult than the Verite.

I saw someone switch from a sus to a utopia at Canjam and forget to adjust the amp between. Those poor beryllium drivers were crying.

Overall great experience, package was shipped shortly after payment and was quick to provide shipping information.

Caldera received in good condition as posted despite UPS's best efforts. Thanks @Raidersfan8118

Quick question, sorry if it's been covered already, I understand that the sale for the caldera ends tomorrow, does that mean midnight tonight will be the final day to purchase it on sale or will the 5th be the final day?

To whomever has had the opportunity to listen to it on their own solid state amps, how source picky is the Caldera? I enjoyed it at canjam but I'm worried my Asgard 3 wouldn't do it justice.

Looking to sell Focal Clear MG locally to Orange County California. SoCal Canjam is coming up and I will likely be attending so if someone would prefer meeting then and have me hold onto them until then that works as well. If I do not find a local buyer I'd be open to sell them to a buyer in the...

Great! Looking forward to trying them soon!

Clear MG is pretty good for metal with EQ, while I find the presentation of the 800S too wide to be enjoyable for the genre.

Live performances are often just as much if not more about the environment than the music. I prefer listening to a live performance on an 800S, but can't get the same sense of joy.

a 6 screw or utopia would probably be the best bet for contemporary music.

Alternative take, but saving up more, and getting a used 800 sounds like the best idea for what you're looking for.

looking for "Good" headphones for the gym.

Those cone tips fit so well, comfort kings tbh.

Will you be bringing any Mest Mk 2?

Is an Asgard 3 a good pairing for a VC? Hoping to get one in November but a tube amp isn't feasible for my current situation.

I use dusk on my series S and it's decent.

Accoustic live stuff like hozier mostly

Does anyone else just forgo using the filters on the dusk?

Would a VC be a good pairing for an 800s? Considering used utopia or VC but not sure on the two. Would be powering it on Asgard 3 for either one.

Damu has long waits on weekends and limits the amount of items ordered per round and nigiri counts towards the limit.
