Swapping over to ZMF Verite Open for this, two tracks in and this is intense death/doom metal.

Sheet Music (1974) by 10cc - They had great success as a pop band in the 70's but they were so much more, brilliant musically, vocally (all 4 of them) and lyrically plus their records were all superbly recorded and mixed (they owned their own studio), they were literally Britain's answer to Steely Dan. This album is absolutely full of classic songs such as Wall Street Shuffle, Silly Love, Clockwork Creep and Somewhere in Hollywood, it's an album I've played regularly since it's release 50 years ago and I never get tired of it. The HD800S are perfect for this album as there is so much going on and it all opens up with these headphones and they still managed to keep my toes a tappin'.

Alternating between ZMF Bokeh and Denon AH-D7200 (from ADI-2 DAC) for comparison. Now playing Majesties - Vast Reaches Unclaimed album.

great song, but i don't understand their way of making music anymore
what is the point of releasing 5 bad singles and make maybe 3-4 great album songs? over all the album is actually pretty bad

After witnessing @Leonarfd enjoying the Campfire Audio Bonnevilles and reading his review, I decided that I needed to try a pair for myself. They were supposed to show up at my hotel Friday, but there was a delay so they didn't make an appearance until Saturday afternoon and I didn't get a chance to give them a shot until now. I'm running the Bonnevilles through my Cayin N8ii. I've only got two albums under my belt with them so impressions will have to wait.
Up next in my pre-vampire sleepy time queue is Polyphia's 2014 release, Muse. I know all of Polyphia's albums inside and out and they can be great for testing various aspects of technical performance from a new transducer. They also happen to be chock full of great tracks for the most part so this one's a win-win in my current situation.
Since this is likely to be my last post before I grab some Z's, I'll go ahead and wish you all a good night or good day depending on where you are.

I stumbled on Plini not long ago, wow! Where do I start... Its virtuoso guitar, esoteric, fusion, Jazz, math rock, prog rock all rolled into one.

Messenger's Quest (2024) by Triton Project - A great recommendation this time from @stenog for this absolutely epic piece of prog-rock. Just five tracks make up this concept album that tells the tale of a messenger carrying a letter from the king to some distant outpost. It's moody and magnificent, great musicianship and superb vocals and even the longest track (28mins) doesn't drag, it's a brand new favourite of mine. Giving the Sennys a rest tonight and the HE400i's are doing a decent job with this album and those I've listened to before it, they are my little miracles, a pair of HiFiMAN headphones still going strong after seven years.

Very intense indeed! And it kept growing more through the album, excellent! I had to resort to listening to Diana Krall's 'Sway' to come down a bit after!Swapping over to ZMF Verite Open for this, two tracks in and this is intense death/doom metal.
And now listening to a debut album from Ocean's edge - quite solid.

Focal Utopia OG & Audeze LCD3. For some reasons probably need to find a new home for my beloved AKG K812

The Apple Music ATMOS mix on this sounds amazing with this setup, absolutely huge head stage and crazy imaging.
I just popped in a new pair of preamp tubes in the Folkvangr, a pair of GE 5670 JAN NOS with some adapters, picked them up from tube depot tested for balanced triodes, matched pair, and high gain, I’m getting some crazy hard hitting deep bass out of the Autuers with this setup this morning.
