Just wondering if anyone has tried the Dekoni Audio Fostex TH900 Elite Hybrid on the Ether Flow?

I assume the TH900 is the same cup size as the Ether Flow? They look the same anyway. Would be nice to get a good compromise between the Audeze comfort and the stock pad tuning.

Someone did try to remove the foam between the pad and the driver with Ether flow?
How is the sound?

my ether c flow regained my love recently, after finding focal clear is very fatiguing for an unknown reason. ether c flow is just right for a long laid back listening session. I don't have a separate amp for ether c flow. Now, I plug it directly into my hugo (original version). Will there any gain to have a separate amp around $500?

haven't tested a Hugo. but the mojo's amp and the Ressonessence Labs Concero HP's amp were both bested by the Burson Soloist, and by a long shot. i think the Soloist used goes for 500ish? yeah, it does. audiogon and headfi both sold in nov and dec from 400 to 500. worth considering maybe...

Thanks for suggestions. Buying an amp is even harder. I will watch them.

Burson soloist mk2 + ether flow sound REALLY GOOD!

Back to the tubes thing.... Ive got an Eddie Current zana deux se running an rca 5691 tube, and EFO's. Sounds absolutely grand. But previously, my WA2 sounded rubbish with them. To be fair, its an OTL, and not designed to work for them, but I am surprised by Badas' experiences with his woo audio gear, and the EFO's, as his (more pricey) woo gear, IS designed for low impedance planars...

Well, after a week ~ of testing Ether flow + dx200 i can say:
In my case the position in my head of this headphone is very important really affect to the sound.
With wrong position / bad condition of pads sounds (i receive my pads in a little bad condition) ... maybe lifeless, a little far mid-range (vocals sound near of my forehead) and diffuse image, but with the good position:
Sound really dynamic, clear, excellent image, mid sound less far with right cuantity and vocals sound more front of my nose-mouth, excelent headphone.

PS: I have a small ears.

Anyone in the US interested in a temporary cable exchange program? I really like the Lavricables Grand 20 Core Silver I got a week ago, but remain curious about alternatives like the Kimber Axios, WyWires Platinum and Cardas Clear. Maybe we can help each other out?

A second hand Cavalli Liquid Carbon.
It sounded glorious with my C Flow and I heard it also with the open Ether and it sounded even better!

+1 on the LC. Absolutely great match with the Flows!

Two observations on the LC, which I've owned: 1) It's a bit on the warm side, great for a romantic sound but not as fast and clear-edged in the mid-to-highs, compared with two Schiit SS amps I've owned -- Asgard 2 and Jot. Some listeners prefer that LC bias, I did not. 2) It had some production issues (mine had to be sent back for pot repair), and with Cavalli closing, it's not so clear what its maintenance future will be.
