EMU Teak? I think they are the prettiest of the bunch.

Just swapped my Fisher 400 into my home office system - nearfield ADS L200 speakers and 600ohm Beyerdynamic Manufaktur DT990s.

Er, wow.

Some seriously fine sound with the Beyers, if slightly sibilant. Am hoping to tame that with some Dekoni sheepskins. As engaging as any head-fi I have experienced to date.

Mmmmmmmmm.....tubes. That Fisher 400 is a true classic. Don't ever sell it (unless to me ).

Gotta love it. I appreciate it now even more than ever, having purchased it refurbished many years ago and long before I tripped into the headphone hole. We were both made in NYC the same year

For box speakers, I slightly prefer my Yamaha CR2020, and for planars, greatly prefer my T+A A1520R amp. But as an all-rounder, and at least for high impedance cans, the Fisher strikes me as damned hard to beat.

Also, it's cool.

Here’s my latest! What other headphones do I need?

I wanna pay someone to do a desk setup like that

I wish I had the free space for a nice desktop setup.


This is my bedroom setup in a kallax shelve.
It's a rather simple setup and compared to other peoples beautiful gear here, on the "inexpensive" side.

But I use it nearly every Day and it makes me happy everytime.

Are those Thunderpants?

No, those are Vibro-Labs cups that i built using Fostex MK2 drivers. They are very similar to Thunderpants.

Not so much...

You could always go for PEI potato vodka

Great comment!

Ideally, one of the island vodkas would be named "Thunderpants Vodka."

How do you like the bass and sub-bass on those?

As long as it makes you happy, that's what the hobby is about

Meze Elite stepping up and performs pretty well, as long as you give some effort to choose some quality up front gear. Every single component matters and will affect the performance.

Elite is actually quite dynamic and punchy, vocals are lush and emotional. Just a tiny tiny bit of sparkle up top.

I thought your Meze was the Scream mask for a second.

I like it. I'm going to quote this from someone else

" at least the closed-back versions of the DCA Aeon phones deliver a fine dose of clean bass down to the sub-bass. The DCA's trained me to love low-distortion bass."
