Hey akukula. You mentioned you own also a Ferrum stack. I understand you're experiencing nirvana with MR and tubes but could you share few words how it worked with your Ferrum?

Sorry was just seeing this now. Yes I do own a Ferrum stack. The MR sound wonderful with the Ferrum. You see, i have the Ferrum primarily to drive my Susvara. And it drives the Sus wonderfully. I must say it does an excellent job with the MR too. I runnit at medium gain for both the Sus and MR. Listening volume for the MR is at around 10. It highlights the technical side of the MR. Very detailed. Bass is very punchy, extending to the mid base esp when using the original leather pads. I use the MR both with the Ferrum and the Fireflies depending on my mood or the music I am listening to. Somehow I just love the tubes and how it enhances the warmth, lushness and intimacy especially on female vocals of the MR

Thanks for response mate. The only thing that makes me wonder is that I remember WA7 3rd being quite a bright amp. Some time ago I tested a Qutest with Ferrum stack and Fireflies with stock tubes (with LCD-2) . The latter had a very pleasant smoothnes to it but for me it was totally lacking the feeling of power in the lower frequencies, in the end I got the Ferrum. You have a different setting, I remember you wrote you use Mullard tubes and Pegasus as a DAC (haven't heard those). But I'm just wondering how tubes and DAC could change the amp's character, as I remember you also said you appreciate a good bass slam. And with my last experience WA7 would be the last thing I'd recommend to you for that Vocals also weren't intimate in my case but a tad recessed but maybe that's a DAC/tube thing again.

This is what I used on my Diana V2.

I use this on my Stellia and UtopiA 22. But may have size to fit Diana. Similar to Beautiful Audio.

I suggest the HD280 pro headband. I find it way more confortable than the AKG one and doesn't need glue :

Thanks for the Amazon link.
I don't think I want to glue anything, but the zippered pad looks like it may work.

The Beautiful Audio pads look great, but a bit expensive at $100.

It looks good, but I noticed it doesn't extend the whole length.
Do you find that makes any difference?

What size zipped pad did you use?
The Diana band is 1 1/2", and they offer one that width.
Do you think that will fit properly?

Can you take a photo of what it looks like from Abyss?

I got the zipped ones for my Utopia and Stellia. I found those after I priced the one for my Diana V2.

It's very plushy and plenty of head contact. The AKG was too firm and caused me headaches, it wasn't much longer than the senny headpad.

The corners of the headband doesn't touch the head anyway so it's my big win for Diana confort ^^

 

[hillbilly559]

I just ordered the zipped ones that Spawn300z suggested from Amazon.
They should be here this weekend, so I'll give them a try.

Thanks for the suggestions!
