Can we get back OT? Thanks!

You can move the near field objects further out with AEON Open by using the black foam or no-foam. You can also use craft felt, or even toilet paper as ways to experiment with shifting the upper-mid/lower high tonality. I can't guarantee this will increase soundstage for everyone but it does for me. I do sometimes enjoy listening with no ear side damping when I have really audiophile source material with super smooth mids and highs in part for this reason. But the thing is soundstage and tonal balance are linked, and while I am not sure how sound the science is behind this statement, I think that warmer headphones will generally make objects sound "larger," and sometimes this equates to closer. Soundstage is an interesting topic, for sure...

Thank you for your reply. Next question is: would you be interested in making an HD800 plannar headphone in the near future - just to prove others that it can be done?

I think our "prove it" project with the electrostatic was enough for the year...

Direct from the FTC web site:

Price fixing is an agreement (written, verbal, or inferred from conduct) among competitors that raises, lowers, or stabilizes prices or competitive terms. Generally, the antitrust laws require that each company establish prices and other terms on its own, without agreeing with a competitor.

No. If MrSpekaers, Audeze, Hifiman and Sennheriser gather together in a dark room to agree on their prices, it may violate the law. However, MAP does not violate the law. Think about Apple products like Airpods. You cannot find a lower price than $159.99 from any third party dealers.

Care to bring it to Tahiti for a listen? I live in a small island and I don't think I'll ever have a chance to hear it

Have a nice day,

make some planars with 20db boost under 50 hz, a lot of bassheads around here and we know, planar bass=better than dynamic bass

We were asked to get back on topic. I believe that we should honor that request and drop this. No one wins.

I'm not sure how sorry I can actually feel for you, sounds like a HORRIBLE life!

Had a bit of a laugh earlier listening to the AFO, noticed the left channel kept cutting out when I moved my head. Was about to give up on the cable when I noticed the adapter was slightly unscrewed, tightened it and all is good now.

If it fits in your budget ampsandsound has a 16 ohm version of the Kenzie or Mogwai, these are great SET designs with quality tubes. If you want another suggestion under $1K, the Mjolnir 2 with a nice set of tubes is a great value with terrific power output. In the budget category the Massdrop CTH, shipping early next year, is phenomenal for the price.

I do have a question idk what the reason is but my korg dac 100 doesn't run into this problem but it doesn't give it the oomph my tube amp brings to all my headphones, the temp fix is to lower my volume until it stops making that bloated low end sound. Could someone tell me what could be causing this ?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy it with lots of music.

I concur with this in my own experience ... AFO/MJ2 is a wonderful pairing (using GE 5670 5* tubes, which need adapters). Alternatively, I can also suggest a Lyr 2 ... not quite as full-bodied as the MJ2 but a satisfying listening experience nonetheless.

Have a pair of MrSpeakers Aeon Open on the way! Was pleasantly surprised to see that you now offer XLR terminations on the default cable. Will pair nicely with my MrSpeakers Aeon Closed. Can’t wait!

Happy Holidays guys.
