For my personal listening, I used to own KGSSHV Carbon. Currently I drive my CRBN using KGSSHV Carbon CC also from Mjolnir Audio (Single ended, driven from Chord DAVE RCA). I rarely go past 10 - 11 O clock on the volume knob and DAVE is typically running at -10dB. I use DAVE for volume control mostly. My preference is for transparency and clean transient edges, I have stayed with SS amps.

​

thanks for the info
i can tell that you have not tried the T2.

It's really cool to see more and more electrostatic offerings. One of my main complaints have always been the lack thereof. These look really interesting, can't wait to read more once more available widespread

I do not have my SR-009 with me any more, but I believe I had it between 9 -10 O clock (but please do not hold me to these numbers), CRBN traded some efficiency for bass extension.

Could you give your impressions of the sound signature compared to the LCD-4z? I had these and loved them except for the (in my personal opinion) slightly “too” dark sound signature which robbed it of some “sparkle” (again, my personal taste).

how do the CRBN compare?

Tonally , CRBN has more energy in the upper midrange/lower treble than LCD-4Z.

I have a Kerry built t2, headinclouds built kgsshv carbon, felitsa audio kgsshv carbon and a mjolnor kgsshv mini

Look forward to your notes. I have 007mki on GeorgeP T2 and these look intriguing.

Definitely! i have lcd2 and lcd4, so i know audeze build quality is going to be up there. Tonality wise, the lcd4 has its pluses, Hoping to be blown away by the crbn.

Hello everyone, as an update for anyone wanting to come in for the CRBN demos at Audeze,

it is required that you be FULLY VACCINATED in order to be eligible to come in.

You can't compare a Magnetoplanar with an Electret - two completly different sound-worlds!
"bassheads" will always be disappointed...

i was speaking in terms of general audeze sound and build quality.
i have the sr009, sr007mk1, voce, es1a, phemenon series, kaldas rr1 for comparison with electrostatic sets..

Sometimes, if you read here in Headfi about amps for electrostatic hp, you get the impression that there is only Mjönir and BHSE.
I `ve had 2 KGSSHV and listend to the BHSE, but PALTAUF toppt them both with body and naturalness. And I can listen to all other headphones on the same level for the same price as a carbon. https://paltauf.com/index.php/kopfhoererverstaerker/khv-esd

found some pictures of a khv-es(not esd), loaded up with some fancy jantzen and mundorf stuff,,, and a alps rk27 pot.......

 

[dynavit]

But the best parts are the ears of Mr.Paltauf!

I can also recommend the Sirius from Mr. Rauhenbühel already quoted in this thread. Many people also like the Audiovalve, which was a little bit too soft for my taste.

And there is the ViVa Egoista STX. That could be also a really interesting pairing…

Looks good, until I read the specs (at least for normal headphones), correct me if I'm wrong but according to their website, for headphones (Dynamic /Planar) this are the specs:

High output:
15 Ohm 5,6 W
120 Ohm 1,5W
600 Ohm 0,3W

I think are a little bit to low specially at 600 Ohm.
