has it been sent to you on loan or to keep in exchange for your review?
Since I had my TCs I have had the pad seam position in the back/lower slots. It never occurred to me to play around with this, because it *looks* like the correct position for the pads to be in based on the shape of a (well my) head. I switched them to back/upper position, and was pleasantly surprised by the result. The bass is accentuated, it sounds more airy with the gap, and its actually comfortable too. If anyone hasn't, have a play around with this as its a nice little EQ for the TCs.
Just review as always. For my Phi TC review, I just reviewed my own personal pair that I had already owned.has it been sent to you on loan or to keep in exchange for your review?

Can someone compare the Diana v2 and Arya Stealth..anyone prefer the Arya Stealth?
Honestly having the Arya and the Diana TC, there are some genres that i prefer in the Arya just due to its ability to stage. But going back to the Aryas from the TCs, it feels like there is a tiny grainy film over the music. That just shows how resolving/clear the TCs really are.Can someone compare the Diana v2 and Arya Stealth..anyone prefer the Arya Stealth?

It's pretty close enough almost.After a week of some burn in, I'm finally starting to make some critical listening notes and the complete lack of any grain and the utmost clarity has me rethinking just how much size really matters? While they are quite thin and transportable, they sound B-I-G...almost on par with my beloved AB-1266 Phi TC (almost ). I don't want to get ahead of myself too much, but so far, I am very impressed with the Diana TC. I loved the Diana V2, but these are a good step up to my ears! My setup tonight is Tidal --> Chord DAVE--> Enleum AMP-23R. So far, it is tickling all the right spots in my brain.
Thanks for the tip, I'm testing this position now. Need to readjust the headband position on your head compared to the "default" one with the pad in back/lower slot but as always I get the best sound when I shift the headband on the back on my head.
This is where I landed as well, though I do go back and forth between it, and spacer in the normal position (back/lower). While the mids stay perfect for me, there isn't enough gap for air to avoid my jaw movements creating enough pressure to annoy the drivers.To follow up on this, I seem to get the best result with the pad seam positioned in the back/upper position, the improvement in bass heft is quite substantial without bleeding into the mid but the tradeoff is the mid becomes slightly shoutier and less rounded.
