All this glorification of the PF X series....
Highly understandable considering it's Final, but here I am with the FI-BA-SS absolutely adoring them. It makes me wonder so much since I've never tried the PF series despite all the positive talk. Please fill me in, what's the magic this time?

This!!

Yeah, analogue set up always sounds best...I might splurge on a cheaper set of PF series, see it I like shape and fit. Any good PF that doesnt cost and arm and a leg?

One caveat I have to add is, if you listen to Rock Music a lot, the PF series is not for you. The PF models sound best with Jazz, Pop or Classic. When I want to listen to Rock, I use my Layla II or my CA Vega , both upgraded with Brimar Cables..... If you´re interested, I´d recommend you try the PF VIII-T first.

I always preferred the LAB01 over the FIBASS. The Magic is the horn speaker design. If you´ve never listened to a superb horn speaker before, you´d better go and do so. It will be an experience you will not forget, I can tell ya.... The dynamics and naturalness can´t be beaten by any other speaker design, same goes for earphones.

Sounds like they have quite the nice warm sound to them. How do they fair with vocals?

Best vocals you will ever hear.

And here I thought the FIBASS did a 10/10 job in delivering vocals lol. Well I'll be damned. What an exciting statement. It's everything I look for in a pair of earphones (...well not quite), better let my ears do the job once I visit Japan early next year

For the ultimate thrill, ask if you can listen to them through a tube headphone amp!

 

[peareye]

Which tube amps?

I'll try them with my Beyerdynamic A2 tonight and update.

Caveat: If they don´t have at least 600 hours burn in time on the clock, don´t listen to them. They sound horrible right out of the box, and the big big dynamic drivers really need that much burn in to create the magic they´re able to.

What are the current places in the US to buy FAD? Pricejapan lists very few models.

Thanks! I got a second-handed pair. And it seems they already have decent burn-in.

So I would assume you´ve got the old model? Or is it the new PF X-T model, like I have? Anyway, enjoy!

Yes, I have the old model. Couldn't get the newer model in the U.S.
