+1 for Between the Buried and Me. Coma Ecliptic is one of my favorite albums, for sure, and the production is solid. I use that one for a test album frequently.

So it's now official that new Meze Empyrean planar will be presented at CanJam NYC.

I'd throw in Persefone's Aathma as a good album for testing phones, beautiful production on it.

What the hell does Isodynamic Hybrid Array mean?

So are those little allen wrench shaped triangles holes in the cups? I would guess it's open, and maybe price from 599 to 799 to compete with LCD-2 Classic and ÆON Flow Open?

Everything except what a Isodynamic Hybrid Array means.

OK--so it's not really a restaurant in Colombia. I really wanted it to be...

"Isodynamic" is defined as "indicating or connecting points on the earth's surface at which the intensity of the magnetic force is the same."
  • "Magnetic force" would may hint at a planar design
  • "Hybrid array" could mean just about anything (a pair of pricey orchids?)

To summarize: we know nothing about this headphone except that it may be planar & looks like a prop from 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. Still to be decided is whether it's good for metal music (or any other music).

I heard that they will be very expensive. (More than $1000..)

Isodynamic means planar magnetic or electrostatic. No idea what hybrid array means. Possibly multiple diaphragms... maybe a super tweeter like the dharma has... or it may have something to do with the magnet array.
