Did everything work out for you? I'm in a bit of a similar situation, with the right side no longer working after the headphones took a fall. Now trying to figure out the best way forward.

First thing is to contact Quad? Driver failure or broken connection are the only possibilities i can think of

Just got the Clear MG. Will post impressions on how they compare

This is a good explanation of what goes wrong:

Hi!

I am trying to return the headphones to the seller because I found new headphones with a discount and warranty for almost the same price. I tend to think that it is a broken connection as other users mentioned. There is no certified service in my country, so anyway would need to send them away for service or return.

Thanks all! I'll be sending mine in for service. Can't think of another sub $1000 pair I'd rather replace them with!

Burson Swing dac => Little Dot 2 (pre-amp + upgraded tubes) => Burson Fun amp => Quad Era-1 (+ Norne silver cable)


Some wonderful synergy to my ears

Just checking in after using my Quad’s for several months. Still think they are fantastic and the fact that I split my listening time equally between them and my Utopias is high praise.

But I can’t make ‘em work with the hybrid pads, no matter what. Leather pads and eq all the way for me

Tried them with cross-feed?
That was the most compelling I got out of the hybrids.

I am curious it seems like an Asian planar;

It was mentioned in the related thread;

It looks like there's a JPM-102 now. If the Era-1 and Alara are 101's, then maybe the Zephone Tiger is a 102.
Zeo's, in his slapdash fashion, has identified no discernible difference between the Alara, Era-1 and Tiger.

I'm tempted to skip the middleman and try to order a 102 straight from Yogada.

Yes, always use cross-feed with them

It looks like they only do OEM work. I sent an email asking how to buy their planars. They have a nice looking wood dynamic too.

We'll buy em in bulk and sell off the excess. Paint them the same colour scheme as the forums: "Head-Fi's first headphone, The Supremus."

Any news on that front?

 

[ResidentAlien]

Having to let my Era-1 headphones go sadly. If anyone in Ireland, uk or EU looking for a pair do send me a message.

They never replied. I will take that as a "We don't deal with public."
