Waiting for my ALO cable to arrive. Not expecting any improvement over the cable that the guys from Rosson made me last year. I’m just getting as it looks better. The nicest cable I had was from Norne Audio it was Draug 3 SC.

Same. Was looking for a visual update only. I had the Verite and the Lektrik S cable and that was a nice looking cable and was thinking of getting the Alo. Post a pic of it when you get it if you woudnt mind

It might the amp is rated at 32 ohms and up. Only problem I’ve ran into is sensitivity levels below 96db. One example is HEkse can’t raise volume past 12 or distortion sets in.

Tried out the Elise last night with the Rad-0 and It didn’t sound quite right. Some of the Rad-0 sounded very good at times but the bass was loose and at times I could hear some distortion. I feel this is where the Euphoria has the advantage. I wonder how much current the Elise outputs from its single ended output… switched over to the pendant and the Rad-0 sounded much better.

I bought some aftermarket HD600 headband pads. Will cut them up and doubleside taped at different positions on the RAD-0 headband to spread pressure. They are much cheaper then the Dekoni nuggets and also likely lighter.

Tried the cut-up HD600 pads on the RAD-0 and they are not thick enough to make contact with my head. Experiment failed.

Ok, too bad. Nice try. I hope to try them one day. I like what I hear about the sound characteristics. Less enthusiastic about the comfort side of things, from comments I have read.

I have thought that the pad on the underside of the RAD-0 was too narrow front-to-back so I carefully unstitched it off. Now I have the full depth of the headband spreading the RAD-0 weight on my head. Much more comfortable. Extended listening! 5576A36C-8774-4175-843A-633114E45178.jpeg

You mentioned "unstitched it off". Was the central pad sewed to the head band outer sleeve? I thought it was glued on.

There is both stitching and glue. Once I had the stitching off / undone with fingernail scissors, I slowly worked the pad loose using an X-acto knife.
