You can’t go wrong with Susvara as long as you have a proper chain. You will be rewarded
Sold of my Meze Empyreans and thinking about letting go my LCD-4Z.
Well the current Headphones Stable: Hifiman: Susvaras & HE-1000SE, Dan Clark Audio: Stealth & Expanse, RAAL-Requisite: CA-1A w/ T1-1B, Focal: Utopia 22, Stellia & Bathys, Meze Audio: Liric, Audeze: LCD-4Z & Mobius, Final Audio: D8000 Pro LE, Abyss: Diana V2This is a very bad idea, don't do it!
Tell me about it. You start listening to one then it’s like how would this one sound. But generally it depends on what and where I’m listening too.Whoa, that is a massive roster!
I worked hard to sell off my stable of cans with a goal to end up with just one at the end (my initial goal was to thin the herd down to just two headphones, that last remaining one being the HEKSE, but just preferred LCD-4z, although HEKSE is outstanding).
For me, there is just too much mental distraction, having lots of headphone options sitting next to the desk, and that detracted from my listening sessions ("hey, I wonder what this track would sound like if I swapped to this headphone"?), but everyone is different.
Fathers Day and Summer Sale...I'm assuming that's the case or something like it. Though curious since I thought it was a fathers day sale
Yeah, it is strange that its listed as $2000USD MSRP on their website also though, not just their store. Usually those prices are listed as the original MSRP, not a sale MSRP. Still, I don't know if they have permanently lowered the MSRP, just thought it was curious.Fathers Day and Summer Sale...
I didn't have that experience. Originally owned an McIntosh MHA200 and it paired beautifully with the HE1Kse. At 500mW though, it barely tickled the Susvara. It wasn't until I received the Burson Soloist that the gap became clear. A properly powered Arya can beat a criminally underpowered Susvara.The open box Susvara (3.5mm) is also at a good price, with trade in it can be brought down even more.

Only I am not sure if my chain has the juice to drive it to its potential, maybe about 80%, but I read peoples comment that Susvara even if not driven to its potential still beats the HekSE / V2 comfortably.
