My 909 sounds amazingly good with the Feliks Euforia... an OTL! Great mids, and absolute control over the highs...

For a $2600 amp, it BETTER sound good, lol.

Except LAWTON is engraved on their cups.......................

Except it's a CUSTOM SHOP and they will sell you what you want.

It's real silver foil.

If you want different cups look to Lawson. They have some beautiful wood.

I've looked at Lawson. I know its real silver foil, but still im curious is it possible to remove that silver foil easily without affecting the cups.

the logo is platinum foil actually, which is applied to the urushi lacquer finish

i broke out the th900 the other night for a listening session. i never ceased to be impressed by the clarity, detail retrieval and impactful sound from this headphone - all from a seemingly black background.

On paper, TH900 would be best with a solid state amp or a tube hybrid.

Actually, it perform well out of OTL for me. I found it to be one of those drivers that output better bass with OTL just like Sennheisers. Tubes are the way to go, but I get a feeling it must be OTL.

the th900 sounds great with set and push-pull tube amps too ime

with stock pads, do your ears touch the inside fabric?

not really, and I have cauliflower ear from wrestling and it does not bother me (I usually have issues with that)

And way more comfortable , 5 yrs using mine outdoors on the go.

OG 原來你係香港人 喺前一個post見到有個人話你有 6 7對th900 不如你將你所有th900排哂喺到影張相 應該好壯觀

I'm sorry guys. These Sapphires are pushing and shoving their way to the top of my headphone love list. Music seems so alive with these. The Fostex percussion is there in spades. Kick drums sound like kick drums. But I'm hearing liveliness without fatigue that I don't remember hearing. Separation is perfect, music feels, it doesn't just sound.

The other day I listened to Led Zeppelin and the drums finally sounded like drums. I thought it was a crap recording until I heard it on the TH900. The Fostex rendered the drums like drums.

They're killer out of the RME. I shudder to think what the Liquid Spark could do.

BTW your comment reminds me of barbecue joints. There is apparently an unwritten rule that the more ramshackle the place is the better the food is. When you see a building that has part of the roof torn off and at least one of the walls starting to cave in, you know that sliced brisket is gonna be one for the record books.

same with Chinese food too...and I get whatcha mean

I'm so jealous, lol. I think they came out with white colored ones recently that had the same tuning as the Sapphires right?

Yes, they have the same tuning as the Sapphire & the same price.

 

[duranxv]

Yes, they have the same tuning as the Sapphire & the same price.

Is the tuning on the Sapphires/Whites markedly better/different than the regular TH900 Mk2's? Basically, is it worth getting over the regular ones?

 

[Whazzzup]

It’s just color lacquer on cups
