In that case, you must hear Frankenstein Goes to the Disco on this album:

Billy Cobham is an incredible drummer. Definitely underrated, IMO.
Spectrum and Crosswinds are great albums. To think that with Mahavishnu Orchestra, he was only 24. Another in a great line of young drummers. [ …Tony Williams, MD ‘second great quintet’, 17 !! … ]

Tried to go with the iBasso SR2's today, but was grounded with technical difficulties.
Next up in the cabinet was the Focal Clear's. Decided to plug them into my RebelAmp at first. Going with the Deftones/Crosses playlist.

Then moved on to the V220.20230320_151708_HDR~2.jpg

Actually listening to two headphones, but i hope it can be excused for once. Comparing the D9200 and 'Starry Night' while listening to London Grammar's "Californian Soil". Imo an excellent mix and an intricate multifaceted sound experience which can shed some light on a lot of properties of a headphone.
The "Starry Night" does a remarkably good job and imo actually bests the D9200 in regards to soundstage and dynamics. Not bad for a novice headphone maker project at a much lower price. In the end, i would however still prefer the D9200 for this album, its timbre and especially it's ability to show even intricate small details with almost immaculate perfection impress and there is none of the harshness in the upper mids/lower treble which unfortunately can be somewhat of a problem for the unmodded Starry Night.

@Uebelkraehe Must say your Starry Night looks exceptionally good, I saw that Z reviews had a video on them but never watched.
Is there any mods solving the upper mid energy?

If I listen in my Seat at home, I mainly listen through my Denon AH-D7200 at the moment. My newest and most expansive pair as of now.

I power them with a Loxjie P20 tube AMP with GE5670 tubes and upgraded power supply. It get's fet either through a WIIM Mini, hooked up to a Loxjie D10 DAC or to my Project Essential III Recordmaster.

I listen to a lot of Stones again lately. Limited Edition Cover, clear vinyl "Goats Head Soup" on those images.

Also some Elvis, Keb'Mo and Turntable Rockers. All on Vinyl.

Tidal shoves Michael Jacksons History through my WIIM to my Denons.
