Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion

Nice! What amp are you using?

Also, I’m also in the DC area. If you’re ever interested in comparing your Tungsten to my Abyss 1266, just let me know. I’m really curious to A/B these two.
Ran them both through my brand new Wells Audio Milo, which made a huge difference in terms of power for the Tungstens than when I was first using them last week from my Topping A90D. Previously, you could definitely tell that they were lacking that last maybe 10% in presence, especially on the low-end, but now the touch of warmth that amp brings the DS's is golden.

I'd be curious to demo the Abyss, never heard any of their headphones before. I'll shoot you a DM!

If this meeting happens, I would very much like to hear the detailed results of the comparison. :beyersmile:

might be the only obtainable amp for Tungsten that can best a single Mentor. Belly flop on that one.
But not TWO Mentors at the same time... of course, the wallet it's probably going to commit sepuku at that point.

Yeah, true.

Speaking of Seppuku, if y'all arent watching Shogun on Hulu your missing out!

Yeah, it will be very informative to A/B these two planars. I'm hoping to see if they're comparable and to see if I want to get on the Tungsten list or pursue the Susvara. First world problems.
