Between the A and the E, which is more Hd650/LCD-x type? Thanks.
Eikon closer to LCD-X imo. The two do not have a hd650/600 type of relationship.

Cheers Proffalkin,
I am in the process of ordering a Glenn OTL amp as well. I have heard a good OTL amp gives the Atticus a balanced sound. I am a little worried that the Eikon may not slam as hard as a Hd650/LCD-x. I am not a bass head but do like a little clean slam. But at the same time don't want the Bass bleeding into the mids.
Regards

I haven't been following this thread as closely as I should because I've been reviewing other stuff, so if this is a repeat of already information I apologize...
Did y'all see that the Eikon made Audiophilac's CNET list of the world's greatest headphones? BOOM!

Well deserved for Zach! His hard work has paid off. To be completely honest, I'm SMH wondering how it isn't ranked higher than some of the other stuff on the list. To each their own I guess. My list would have them much higher.
Ya you're right, probably not in any particular order.Is that list in order? I thought it was assorted in no particular manner, seems weird to me that they'd rank the NightHawks 2nd, I have NHs myself and I absolutely adore their sound, comfort, build, everything, I prefer it to many other headphones I own too but ranking them higher than the Ethers, Eikon, Abyss, etc. seems a little too extreme.
That said, congratulations!

If Nighthawk is #2, that would be nuts
Well my friends, the wait begins. Just took the plunge and ordered a padauk Atticus!!
I can certify the Project Solstice on the 68 ohm setting is a home run with the Atticus! Great call @Stillhart!
For anyone who has been following this impedance testing story, here's an update:
@buke9 has also informed me that the 60ohm resistor cable prototype is complete and will ship this week. The 20 & 75 ohm adapter plugs also arrived this weekend. Complete results to follow once the 60 ohm cable gets here!

"The 68 ohm setting". Is that something you have tinkered with or is the Solstice straight out of the box a perfect match for the Atticus? I am still debating what could be the best amp for the Atticus below 400€.
