Sell all.
Just buy Utopia, LCD4, Susvara.....


maybe rather sell all and buy the Orpheus. :wink:
It is also my first "real" headphone so it has sentimental value.


i've got some hiend stuff too. but, I always grab my fostex for watching movies and those bass-heavy sound files. Just sublime. It's always within my reach.

Inbound LCD-4 necessitates inventory rebalancing. Which one would you sell to make room?

Focal Elegia straight to the bin if you ask me. A strange and sonically unappealing can imo

I agree...also bizarrely uncomfortable. But didn't want to start an anti-Focal thing here (not a fan).
Lol I'll be the first to start it. Cover me, I'm going in.

Interesting thought. I've had and sold both the Elear and the Elegia. Sonically they didn't do it for me, but there were the most comfortable cans I've ever put around my ears. I will at some point try the Utopias.

If I didn't know any better, I'd swear the HE5se was a dynamic headphone. I've always said that it sounds like a really good dynamic headphone, but it's also extremely easy to drive. Even really cranking the volume with this amp doesn't cause the bass to break up, as every other planar that I own does (aside from the Aiva).

Regarding the new MHA150, to quote Ferris Beuhler:

"If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up"

Loving this amp! So far I have 3 sources connected: TT, DAP, and USB from my computer (using Winyl). Sound is lovely!!!! The HXD feature is a really nice add-on.

A beauty shot I made of my Bottlehead Crack-a-two-a. Lovin' this amp!

No sell, I would buy time to use all of them.
