I actually just got my thick’s in today. And I prefer the stock because I feel the thick’s take away the dynamics that makes the caldera really fun for me. That said the thicks bring the bass to where I personally want them, but I’m not willing to trade the dynamics for it. Depending on the...

Owning both, I think they both bring something very unique to the table. Comparing stock pads on each, Caldera is more analytical but still extremely musical. It has a kind of unique laid back sound, that I’ve only really experienced in Meze products prior. Listening to the caldera is a...

Thank you!

Would you happen to know a place selling the mullard E80CCs? eBay doesn’t seem to have much, neither does tube depot

I feel like if you’ve heard the caldera with the MJ3 you would understand why those genres in particular. The Caldera already has nice plucked planar sound, but the MJ3 brings that out in a more pronounced way with excellent dynamics and bass. I actually think if you just use a caldera it’s the...

Yeah if power is the issue I definitely see the need for the upgrade. Though I personally tend to prefer running high power headphones on solid state typically.

I’m kinda with the same sentiment the HA-3A is so good I don’t see how it could get any better. Super curious about the Aegis though, but I kinda feel like I’d rather just go straight OTL to have both types of tube sounds

So far what I enjoy the most about the caldera is how textured music and stringed instruments sound. Stringed instruments in particular have a certain vibrato I’ve never heard in other headphones. Couple that with amazing dynamics and it’s pure bliss. I’ve been the biggest Atrium stan for a...

Super curious about this one. Would one of the abyss guys be able to comment on the sub bass? I nearly bought an MR at Socal because of how good the sub bass was, I’m curious to see what it’s like in this model.

I thought the bathys sub bass was surprisingly good, excited to see they took it up a notch with this new line

Posting of my caldera I got delivered last week… the only thing I can listen to at the minute…

Would love for this to be a thing, also love super close to DTC haha

Ill do my best to make it, may be traveling then. I'll bring my caldera and hugo 2.

I just got my caldera and due to this thread it made me want the thick’s. I’ll post some pics later

Really recommend the magnesium chassis, I’m debating asking them for my stock atrium for similar reasons.

Yeah it’s weird, at first I didn’t love the trianglish shaped cups, but now I love the look. It really does make them unique

They are nothing alike. I owned a empy II and sold it, but had a caldera on a loaner tour when I had them. In a pure technical class which I was cared about when dropping 3K on a headphone, the empy II was not up to snuff. Beautiful headphone but it’s sacrifices sound quality for beauty. empy...

I couldn’t tell you in grams but in comparison to my standard atrium the weight difference is significant. I have neck issues so it really is a difference maker for me

They sound amazing with the caldera. Really brings an amazing boost to the mids. I’m using a 6v6 fivre and rca black leg 12AU7s

What is consensus on the best pad for bass on the AC?

Item came as described and well packaged! I would recommend this headfier :)

I think it’s more like $3899.99
