For those of us with multiple headphones, which ones are you listening with now?

Well, Roon/Qobuz = Yggy + GS2 => Vali 3 => GS3000x
Not sure about this. Too much relaxing this evening??? Regardless, I kinda like it...

Received my Focal Radiance today, and I'm very excited to try it! Since my office can't accommodate large equipment, I'm using the N8+C9 to drive it

QT-X / DC-Elite

This 9 piece hip hop/electronic group take turns flipping between vocal features and varied production inspired by club and bass music. Really fun album, worried they aren’t around anymore since they haven’t been active online since 2022.

I was experimenting with EQ, still trying to figure out why my IEMs don't seem to EQ as cooperatively as my headphones. But then I got distracted by the Symphonium Meteor's smooth-itude and just started listening to music instead.

Gling-Gló (1990), Björk Guðmundsdóttir & tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar

A weird one to post since it's among my all-timers. Nevertheless, a session in mids-centric listening sent me to classic jazz trios which, of course, led me here. This album was released as something of a palette-cleanser for Bjork as she transitioned from the Sugarcubes to being the mononymous Björk. She couldn't have known at the time that this one-off jazz album of covers of classic Icelandic and US (also in Icelandic) mid-century standards would end up lasting the way it has. An album for the ages.

Qobuz => roon => SMSL SU9 => Violectric V222 => Grado RS-1x

Some excellent German prog-rock, it must be good as this is the fourth time I've played it tonight and I should have been in bed hours ago but hey ho! :darthsmile:
Pulled the RS-1x again tonight as I wanted to experience the partnership with the V222 again, it's quite amazing how much the sound has improved and it was pretty damned good coming out of the SMSL SH9 THX 888 amp. Since I've got the V222 my DT1990's, D7200's and HD650's have barely had a look in, the the HD800S and these Grados just sound too good to not use.

Blast from the past, while working today from home. Had to pull up the HD1000's to get all the most out of all the effects and bass Mr. Cook put into these tracks :)
