Wrapping out all this
Choosing between Susvara and the TC is a bit like comparing say an S-class Mercedes and a M5 BMW. The former being more supple, reassuring and voluptuous, and the latter more provocative, challenging and exhausting (but in a good way).
With the Susvara I tend to lose myself into the music, relax and forget about them. With the TC my heartbeat accelerates, as I prepare to a journey full of surprises and coup-de-théâtre.
I would venture to say that as the Susvara are exceptional
headphones, the AB-1266, while being less honed out tonally, are able to
transcend headphones listening experience in a way.
They complement themselves for sure, and I feel very fortunate to have both at my disposal
