my mongrel Beyer DT770/80-customOnepro hybrids. basically the 80ohm drivers from a pair of 10+ year old DT770 in the shell of a pair of custom one pro. this includes the felt dampening rings in the cups. i have DT880 600, DT990 32, as well but the mongrels are my goto. no annoying spitty (s) sounds just nice smooth open music i have the 770 and 990 ear pads and a pair of the ebay special cheapy ones and the cheapy ones sound best as they are in the middle of the beyer ones. my favourite pads are the T1 mk2 but i cant get them anymore.

Compare/Contrast...
A win for local storage of what appears to be same mastering of album. No science involved.
For the sharp eyed Head Fier the bit rate in MIDI was switched to 96 after this shot was taken
LCD-3 > Feliks Elise / The Early Beatles (vinyl). I've come to a decision that I need to pare down my inventory. Now trying to decide between keeping my Auteurs or the LCD-3s. Love the Audeze house sound, but I much prefer the Auteur's physical feel (weight and clamp force).
Currently A/B ing between LCD-5 and HE1000se with YGGY + my cap modded Schiit Mjolnir 2 using RFT ECC81 tubes. This combination works so perfectly that i have decided to give my ZMF VO/VC with Feliks Elise OTL + Pontus 2 a break.
