Sennheiser HD-660S2 << Fog City Audio HPC << Monoprice Cavalli Liquid Gold X: BD1DE4E4-42D8-4A89-99E1-1F935732DBF1.jpegD255E951-B376-453E-801E-150EBC3FD94F.jpeg[Epic: March, 1975.] Jeff Beck was truly the most inventive, interesting, talented of the Yardbirds guitarist alumni (Beck, Clapton, Page).
He may have been the most talented, inventive and interesting of the three but he was by far the least successful - where I think the other two left him far behind was in song writing talent.

Another beautiful collection:

[Spotify only carries the second of this "must-have" 3-volume set. I do have the 3-CD set downstairs(!).]
@pataburd I couldn't find on Tidal the album you are recommending but anyway thanks to your recommendation I've found this one:

Tidal > Mojo 2 > Meze Advar (I still prefer Meze with ifi micro iDSD Signature somehow, but in terms of SQ and volume control, not to mention DSP, Mojo 2 beats Signature, I need to play a bit more with DSP to see if I could get sound signature closer to ifi).

Finished work, made a cup of coffee, jumped in the cozy-socks and sweat pants, feet up, enjoying a few hours home alone.

Listening on the HEKS. Tried a few of the others, but right now I just want to enjoy the overall amazing sound these headphones offer. So lucky to have a set 🤘

CAL! again with some more FKJ on the iFi Zen Air Can:



Maybe it's just in my head but I feel like there's quite an audible improvement to how my CAL! sounded when just ran off my audio interface, and there was another improvement today when I got my 6.3mm -> RCA cables so I could use my audio interface as a DAC for the amp rather than running off my PC's DAC. It sounded kind of veiled/muffled before but opened up.

Wasn't expecting such a noticeable difference with my CAL! given how easy it is to drive but I'm enjoying like I did the first day I bought it again.

Edit: And the K702 is back out, think I'm going to give all my wired headphones a go on the Zen Air Can tonight. Think I posted this one recently but it's a favourite on both the 702 and the T50:



Edit2: HD25 now:




Just realised it's weird hearing soundstage width from my HD25. Forgot I put XSpace on a moment ago and was questioning if my ears were being weird. XBass on the HD25 is just stupid (but in a good way), so I'm currently playing around with both. Glad I went for this amp in the end.

New release :)



Still on Mojo 2 with Meze Advars. Mojo 2 clarity is brilliant for such unplugged track like this (which is also quite different from most of other tracks I've heard so far from Disaster Artist but still loving it). This could be quite interesting to compare with Focal Clear MG and Audeze MM-500 but on bigger amp. In the meantime coming back to Mojo 2 clarity, detail retrieval and instrument separation it keeps me reminding that I could live with just this one (still I think the real magic I've heard first has been with Mojo OG, heck it made me wanting TT2) but then after some time I know I would miss something...
