I might have a better glimpse than some. I'm a professional writer. You looked at your subject from a dizzying number of angles. You did a very deep dive while keeping hyperbole to a minimum, and you kept your narrative light and entertaining. Like I said, "Well done!" :relaxed:

You wrote an excellent review of the Binom-ER. One of the best headphone reviews I've read in a long time. I believe that the only reason you didn't receive more feedback is due of the price tag for the headphones. It's hard to hold someone's attention if they feel they can never afford what's...

Frederick was a pleasure to work with. He very kindly agreed to sell me these Elrog tubes and send them to me in the U.S. The whole experience was easy and pleasant. I would do more business with him in a heartbeat.

I guess everyone was at the beach when you posted this. :sunglasses: I'm going to check out this company after reading your post.

Austin is a very nice guy and a pleasure to work with. He offered the headphones at a fair price. He shipped the headphones quickly and they're in great shape. Couldn't be happier. Thanks so much! - Ken

George is a very nice guy and a pleasure to work with. He offered the headphones at a very fair price. He shipped the headphones quickly and they're in great shape. Couldn't be happier. Thanks so much! - Ken

Very engaging piece, Rob. Thank you for sharing. I believe that various forms of modern classical, "free" jazz and aleotoric music are very helpful in testing headphones, particularly for soundstage and percussive qualities, since they almost demand active listening.

Good to know, JT. Glad the repaired cable worked out for you!

That's a great point to bring up, Crow. Thank you.

Congrats!

Thank you, jlemaster. I can breathe easy, then. Last week I ordered a Ricable Invictus cable (dual 3.5mm) for a new pair of headphones that I finally realized just did not do it for me, so I returned them. In their place I ordered the Susvara. The fact that an expensive cable I ordered...

Minor techie question: Is there anything proprietary about Hifiman's 3.5mm headphone connectors for the Susvara?

No prob! I knew it was USB-C to USB-B.

Thanks for your recommendation. The Schiits sound like a winner.

I'll check Curious Cables, Headcase. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input, too, David!

Thank you, Adias. Appreciate your input! :)

Hi Ableza, thanks for responding. Well, the May has a lot of input options as you can see in this image, including USB 2.0. The problems I've read about elsewhere on Head-Fi stemmed from the Unison USB outputs of the URD into various DACs with certain USB cables. This was partly due to...

Just curious if any of you use Urd into the Holo May KTE? Before I pull the trigger on the URD, I'd really like to know which USB cables perform well with the May. I did do a search through the 8874 pages of this thread but I didn't turn anything up. (PS: I think 8874 pages is the largest thread...

Does anyone here use the Urd with the Holo May KTE? Before I pull the trigger on the URD I'd really like to know which USB cables play nice with the May. I may have to contact Holo directly, I suppose.

Greetings from my small recording studio tucked in the mountains of North Idaho. I've decided it's high time I put together a nice hi-fi system that is optimized for recreational headphone listening. A setup that is OUTSIDE my studio. :beerchug: Starting off with a Holo Bliss KTE amp as well...
