I will commit to my audio hobby and shave my beard this week, let's see how much the bass improves!

Ahhh - don't shave off the beard, just trim it to a Van Dyke!

PS - maybe with a neck landing strip!

You think a €169 cable is better than the DCA one?

My ears aren't good enough to hear cable differences lol, I just bought the Forza cable because my Stealth came with an unbalanced DCA one.

Ah ok, I also dont hear cable differences, only buy them for comfort and eye candy.

The comfort and handling in addition to the sound is also an important criterion for me in an after market cable...I always have to laugh when I see the
thick snakes from Lazuli in the Utopia Threads 🙈 or the inflexible cables from Moon 🙈 or the.....🤣
And why I have made the investment twice...once at the Utopia and once at the Stealth has a very special reason...both will give me very very long pleasure
(And the Crystal Double Duet for the Focal I have already for almost 4 years...so the investment seems no longer so high)
Someone who already knows that model X will not stay with him for a long time, I do not advise another cable...not even for 300 euros😉
Satisfaction is ultimately characterized by consistency, and I can say that I am with both 👍

Ps.but this is only my opinion on the topic

Are the earpads for Aeon and Stealth the same? Cannot seem to find any replacement pads for Stealth online, most of the Dan Clark ones I found were for Aeon.

You’ll have to contact DCA. The Stealths use a different style pad. I don’t know why they don’t readily advertise replacements.

It's right there on the website: https://danclarkaudio.com/stealth-expanse-ear-pad.html

Just received a new set of pads today.

Hi all

Just curious, for someone who has HD800 and love it, would you reccomended Noire or Stealth to complement HD800 to be closed back alternative. HD800 stays in any case.
Was thinking on Hd820 but cant test it here.

I own both, in my opinion they are perfectly complimentary, there's large parts of my music library I feel are best on Stealth and other parts are best on the HD800.
Noire vs Stealth is a matter of budget, haven't heard the Noire myself. The Stealth sound is very divisive so in any case try before you buy!

In any case, forget the HD820 🙈

PS.the Elegia with the Celestee pads would also be an alternative...if it should be something cheap

Cheaper is better... I am not putting enough time in listening to easily justify investment..
I will have a Noire here in few days for test, Stealth is nowhere close enough to try.

Found Elegia open box, new with full warranty for 366Eur...cant find price for Celestee pads. Only Dekoni? Do you happen to know price for those pads?
