Hello everyone,

Ithilienrp, thanks for your report about lawton pads with Odin. I am interested : which model have you tested exactly ?

Looks good. Wonder how it sounds. Might get one nonetheless.

By the way, I want to report a bit on Odin Mk2 Pad-Rolling. I tried Lawton Angled Pads on it. Increased sub-bass a noticeably bit, while not loosing too much of the tonality (as did the ZMF-Ori cowhide pads) and the mid still sounds pretty good. It is also very very comfortable. More so than any pads I tried on, including the Odin Mk2 pads itself. It feels like the JPS Abyss pads (which, despite the look, a very comfortable headphone).

Ironically, Lawton pads on Odin is, IMHO, better than Lawton pads on Fostex TH-series, which they were designed for.

So, as a result, I'm keeping the Lawton pads on one of my Mk2 pair, and Odin Mk2 pads on another pair.

Hi Jérôme.

By deduction I think this model of pads Lawton Audio Angle Pads for Denon (for Denon AH D2000) (link: http://www.lawtonaudio.com/denonanglepads.html) is compatible with the Kennerton Odin, since the Kennerton Odin compatible pads ECL-02 Brown (or black) are also compatible with the Denon AH D2000 (link: http://kennerton.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=62&product_id=90.

Hello everyone,
Want to dream a little?
Well, you can follow this link: http://www.homecinema-fr.com/forum/post179205818.html#p179205818

This weekend is organized in France in Nîmes with C&H (P. Paya), a multi-brand distributor of high-end headphones, a mini prestigious meeting, with only 40 privileged guests who will gather on 2 days the best headphones in the world on the market :
In descending order of price:

Audeze LCD4 200 Ohms (Planar)

And of course Kennerton Odin mk2 (two copies) (planar)
(Note: lack for this "madness meeting", the Sennheiser Orpheus 2 system ...)

On the amplification side, in addition to the dedicated amplifier for the Shangri-La, there will be the new Viva 845 mk2 amp (improved version of the Viva 845) and two Viva 2A3 amps, one with KR audio tubes; The other with the original tubes).

I especially like the blonde/black combo of the Odin (I'm assuming) in the last photo.

About exclusive versions.

The French are known for the high-end electrodynamic headphones Focal Utopia and the exclusive version of goldsmithery Tourniaire (at 100 K)

The Russians are less well-known for their top-of-the-range orthodynamic headphone (planar), the Kennerton Odin, but they also have limited versions of this headphone with different species of precious wood; A true work of lutherie, as for the lacquered version of the K. Odin in Karelian birch.

Still less known, there is also an exclusive version of the Kennerton Odin, made of metalwork for the external grills, true ironwork work in the noble sense of the term, in pure Russian tradition.

Those look like what the elves in Hellboy 2 would wear. Gorgeous.

Quite an impressive high-end pigpile/cuddle puddle. Too bad the iFi Pro rack isn't quite ready yet, would have been a great opportunity to test out the Energizer.

Nice set up
