Are the 1540 pads better in sound than the original thin pads that came on the first batch of Pandora vi's and if so what is better in terms of sound on the 1540 pads????
They aren't any better sounding - it is all about the comfort. The 1540 pads don't seem to change the sound of the VI's from the thin FAD pads (or not so I can tell) but allow you to wear them in comfort for hours at a time.
The 1540 pads on the IV's sound incredible and dramatically change the sound from the stock pads. I really want to know how similar they sound to the IV's with the 1540 pads.
Has anyone did a comparison with these and something like the audeze el8c in sound quality. So far this has been my favorite closed back in sound quality at any price point besides the th900s.
I tried it the same day I heard the EL8 open version (last I checked thought to be better than the closed), easily preferred the VI.
Also, has anyone tried a tube amp, specifically the Schiit Vali with these? I saw one guy that said it sounded great earlier in the thread but I would like more information. The low impedance worries me. A while back someone said because they have a BA driver it might change the rules of how tubes and low impedance work. I know basically nothing on how that work, so can anyone comment on that?
