Headphoneus Supremus
I finially sold my Ether Flow open HP. Never really could into them.
NightHawk ruined it for me. I far preferred the NH.
Anyhow it has given me more time to play with the NH and tubes.
I've been playing around with tubes exclusively for NH and not trying to please
another HP. I'm lucky to own over 300 sets of tubes. Many different types.
Boy I have made the NH sing. Far different from what I have heard previously.
It's like a super charged NH.
I'm using Yggy DAC into Violectric V281 as a pre-amp / volume control into a Woo WA22.
Very special selection of tubes to elevate the NH. I'm getting a more holographic
Soundstage and boosted treble without loss of bass or other NH magic.
It is very adictive. NH really responds to tube rolling.
After selling the Ether Flows I will replace it with something else.
Likely Aeon Open.
I did get a pair of HD6xx as well. Wow these are over rated. What a terrible
Soundstage and presence. Signature is nice but that's it.
HD6xx is getting thrown to the kids to use. Utter rubbish.
I have some Audioquest Nighthawks that I just love out of my Sony player in balanced. But yet I love my AKG K812 just as much for different reasons out of my Questyle QPR1. I am about to try my Sennheiser HD650 on a Bottlehead Crack with the 1.1 Speedball upgrade. I think each headphone shines in different areas depending on the source. I was about to get rid of the QP1R when I found out how wonderfully it paired with the AKG headphones.
