You good people could always do the unthinkable, and adopt the large. but well thought out British mains plug / socket!!??
Just sayin'... 😵‍💫
Hurts like hell when tread on an pin up plug in the dark !!! Also converts any cable into a snags on everything Grappling hook !!

I recommend finding somewhere you can audition some other headphones at least, if you are asking the question then it means you're curious.

I have some tinnitus as well and still ended up chasing until I got to ZMF Atrium. Perhaps one of the new Bokehs would be intriguing. Not surprised you have found tubes worthwhile, I think that is connected.
I'm not familiar with ZMF. I'll definitely look into the brand. Thank you.

Very Very nice -- I'm surrounded by MG MIdgets , MGB and MGC Roadsters , GTs and V8's at my work !! ( Trade Export dept MG Owners Club , UK )
I did wonder if you worked at MGOC @Erratic Gravy, as you have mentioned Swavesey, in previous posts:relaxed:

I first joined MGOC back in about 1986, when I owned a 1972 MGB GT.

I sold the car in 1991 and my membership lapsed.

I re-joined MGOC about 2 years ago, in preparation for my 'new' MGBGT V8, which I collected last year.

I was amazed that Roche Bentley, who founded MGOC in 1973, is still there, although sadly he is not enjoying good health.

It is a really good owners' club; great for spares, information and local events.

My MGB GT V8 is definitely a 'keeper'.

I considered many 'classic' cars, including Jags, Morgans, TVRs, Triumphs etc, before settling on the BGT V8

It was built with a brand new bodyshell and almost all parts are also new.

Lovely car.

When the weather improves, I will enjoy driving it on the local Peak District roads, where that lovely torquey engine will really come into its own.

Just how many cables and plugs are crammed in behind your Schiit, and scattered across the floor...?? 😳🤣
I'm a cable Nazi - I loathe untidy cable routing !! Sadly though in the process of sorting out said cables I stepped backwards onto an upturned plug in bare feet!! my words were a mixture of Anglo Saxon , old English and numerous other long forgotten oaths !!!

I do love the Sundara sound, and the Arya organic has been my front-runner. Arya Stealth Magnet also looks interesting, and at almost half the cost of the Organic. There's the FOMO factor in play: will I be missing out if I don't go up to the Organic?
I have the Stealth and love them. Wish I had picked them up when are the current price instead of at $1300, but they are very good. Interestingly, Resolve on headphones.com said that the treble is a bit brighter on the Organic, so you might actually prefer the Stealth.

Good to know. Thanks!

It is my friend's. Has had some brake and suspension upgrades but otherwise stock.

The pre 1968 models with the black crackle dash were the best. On good original sized tires, you can drift (original definition, not what the kids do today) that car on demand and hardly break the speed limit. Lots of suspension changes needed to work properly with modern sized rubber, and not as fun to drive IMO.

VERY nice looking. I don't have any closed-back headphones. What's the soundstage like? I'm assuming the bass is full-bodied?
