Anyone know anything about it???

This is a special edition of Odin

 

[alank46]

Are you sure?
The website says ...
"... Every aspect of Kennerton Wodan, the newest planar-magnetic headphone, is designed to achieve maximum performance in the speed of music performance. ..."

And the wood design looks totally different.

Are you sure?

Description from Russian site:

Wodan is the middle name of "All Father" in Scandinavian mythology, which appears in different guises.
Now he is in the guise of a sage who knows, sees and hears everything.

'All Father' is Odin
'different guises' - Wodan

I think it's like the Kennerton Odin/Thridi -> Kennerton Odin/Wodan

You're right .. Eric talked about it on the previous page .... duh.

Hi all Kennerton's lovers.

Here is an Ode to Karelian birch, the king of the northern forests; noble wood which part of the finest achievements of Kennerton headphones.

Good evening, everyone.

About the Karelian birch, in its transformed form (stabilized Karelian birch, impregnated with a colored resin), here is a very nice version of the Kennerton Thekk (limited edition), in green color.

For anyone in the US, you should take a look at the new LSA HP-1 being released towards the end of March. It definitely has the Kennerton Audio flavor to it. Sorry I could not get a copy of it to post but it is the latest lighter design.

I hope all Kennerton fans here are well, in these 'interesting times'...Eric, as a physician(?) you must be very busy. I hope everyone is healthy.

I bought Audio-GD D-28.38 full upgraded and Thekk sounds fantastic with him! Very adult and thoroughbred sound

I have Sony TA-ZH1ES and D-28.38 wins in all aspects of sound although it costs 2 times cheaper.

Yes, Sony looks much more premium and has many outputs, but this is where its merits end.

Hi andrew, and many thanks.

Yes, I'm a doctor (physician).

In France we are in a state of war against the Covid 19 virus, according to our government and in the fact.

The entire French population is confined to their homes, with a strict ban on leaving, except (and with permission) for :
Going to buy food.
Going to see one's doctor (of which I am a member).
Going to see your pharmacist
Go to the Bank
Taking your dog out (smile)
Jogging close to home, but alone.

I work with an FFP2 mask and disinfect my hands between each patient (NB: 19 out of 20 patients came to see me yesterday).
Sick people (fever > 38°5 C and with coughing should stay at home and not consult their doctor, and in case of severity (respiratory discomfort), can contact the emergency phone number for specialized hospital care, but only in case of signs of severity).

Even if it's off-topic, we discussed a little bit together (about this viral pandemic) in the French headphones forum, at the following link: https://musique-o-casque.com/viewtopic.php?p=5119#p5119

I wish you all good health, and above all, because we are all concerned in the world, in all countries, to take the strong barrier measures (to stop the spread of the virus) that are necessary, all of us, individually and collectively.

Not sure what to think of that.

I like the Thekk, but they don't replace my Odin's. The Thekk is more airy and refined, but the Odin sounds more visceral, immediate, packs a punch. Been listening to the old Odin more lately.

I hope everyone here--especially Eric-- is holding up OK in this time of crisis. Or anyone else in the medical/helping professions on the 'front line.' Take care out there.

Hi Andrew.

I'm fine, although the situation in Europe is most alarming...

The Odin mk1 and mk2 are very well suited for rock, and very dynamic music, probably better than the Thekk (apart from its weight), but for classical music, for pop music and for vocals, I prefer the Thekk, more precise, more airy, more just and natural for the timbres.
