When u have some free time could you do me a favour, and have a listen to the album Stella and Steve by Benee.



It isn't anything masterful and does not offer much in terms of showing off headphone technicalities or soundstage/imaging etc but it remains one of my favourite albums. I love her voice and the constant bass notes/melody and punch.

Could you listen to a few songs and share what u think of the sub-bass, leading punch/snap to the bass, and also her voice (whether u notice any sibilance or etch). I also like how her music has a lot of small elements in the background, which can be easily made out and isolated on the Utopia/Susvara.

Her voice (and it's leading edges) and the snap of the snare drum element keeps the whole album engaging for me. It's when I fell asleep to this album when listening with the original Empy that I realized it had to go... Just wondering if the same thing may happen with the Elite.

Will do

Don’t worry, guys like Pete will pay full price and end up selling them shortly for a discount.

Sayyyyyy what????? Lmao. Full price? Huhhhhh. Well, can't say I won't agree on the selling part. Am I known for doing these things around here? Not my fault I'm not pleased for very long, and people should feel blessed I don't mind helping out and losing a dollar here and a dollar there. Lol

 

[PointyFox]

Yeah, no one ever pays full price (except me).

Just asking to (old) Empy owners: did burn in have a noticeable effect on SQ?

 

[OceanRanger]

Will do

@Ciggavelli no pressure, but when you post your thoughts, any comparisons to the Susvara would be super awesome and much appreciated.

Man, @Ciggavelli really has all the nice cans one could wish for looking at the signature.
Really looking forward to the further impressions

No kidding, his current collection of gear is very, very impressive!

His collection is alright, a shame his chain is not quite up to snuff…

"It's when I fell asleep to this album when listening with the original Empy that I realized it had to go" - That's when I realize headphone is a keeper for me

There are cheaper cures for insomnia.

Closed vs Open?

 

[branislav]

Closed vs Open?

Why not? People are too wrapped up in all these different groups and labels. Aren't planar and dynamic phones compared too? Don't car magazines compare turbo cars vs naturally aspirated ones? Plus I heard the "closed" Stealth sounds very open, so why not? And what if you own only "open" phones, then the comparisons won't help you much if they compare Stealth to Stellia or Verite Closed only...
