  Hmm. Well, I for one think the Atticus is way, way better than Tyll Hertsens describes.
 
And I don't think the Eikon is better. Rather, I think they're both excellent for different applications.

In reading about the characteristics of the Atticus, the In Absentia record must sound incredible on it.  One of my favorite rock records.

In Absentia is a mind-blowing experience with the Atticus.

In Absentia is a mind-blowing experience on the Atticus.

That's the best part of getting a great headphone - it's like you are hearing your favorite music for the first time and experiencing the wonder all over again.

Tyll seems to focus a lot on frequency response in his reviews. ("There's a slight dip at 2 kHz.") I can appreciate his approach, but personally I'm more interested in how the music sounds and feels.
 
I have heard both the Atticus and the Eikon and loved them both. Different sound signatures for different needs/wants/likes.

Yes you're right.  The last time that I have been connected like that with the music was probably when I heard the LCD-2 r2 for the first time.

You're in for a treat with the Atticus!

I don't hear the dip that he's talking about at 2Khz but maybe it's because of my tube amp.

I can't wait to find out for myself. That is the album that introduced me to PT and Steven Wilson overall. Simply a great record!

Yeah, I got the note from him today. Do you know when his new album is released? I usually buy the ridiculously expensive special edition of special editions, because I'm a SW nerd...

He said that the album will be released on the day of his 50th anniversary.  (November 3)
