I don't pay any attention at all to measurements. Do they sound good. That's enough, measurements are hogwash to me. So yes Thekk is the superior sounding headphone to me. Better bass....not as dry sounding yet with significant technology.

It's difficult to discuss differences in terms limited to good-bad )

Thekk's bass is bigger, not better, alas. No wonder - many many many people take "bigger" as "better". But objectively talking Thror's bass is more balanced, more resolving and natural compared to Thekk's bass. And subjectively talking Thekk’s bass is more fun and wow-generating, but usually and unfortunately that’s short-term effects.

(And definitely better to move further discussion to Kennerton thread).

I really want to buy the NM-1 but it's just too expensive to purchase from the United States. And the creator told me that if I pay with PayPal, there's an additional 10% commission fee! 10%!!!

Well I was very interested, but now I'm going to pass and move on. For the cost of them plus shipping and a ridiculous up charge on PayPal fees, I can find a brand new LCD 4.

@levap I believe this is your starry map of Kennerton headphones...could you English translate this and put this side-by-side with Snorry map so everyone whose interested in Russian headphones can get a better picture of where all the models fall in perspective of each other?

I reached out to Snorry to maybe sell a headband and yoke replacement kit as i am hoping to get something more durable/time lasting for my Fostex 900's. Sadly to say Snorry is not selling parts or doing mods anymore.. at least to anyone outside of Russia. So now, still trying to source someone that owns an Audeze to get me a replacement kit.

Really strange, I thought that I posted it in a Kennerton thread here, but actually - not. Thanks and more maps - Kennertons and once more Snorry ) As you can see I find SI-2 vs Odin, NM-1 vs Thror very close in overal level matters.

Well I managed to snag a pair of NM-1. Looking forward to trying them out.

By the way, found a very nice synergy of NM-1 with one tube amplifier (also locally made).
I was quite skeptical about tubes but found NM-1 not just technically great but also "emotionally full".

Posted my question in the main thread.

Is there another main Snorry thread?

 

[qsk78]

I'm not aware of any other Snorry thread.
That was my personal initiative to start this one after I asked Sergey (aka Snorry) if he is ok with it.

 

[veritg0]

This is the only Snorry thread AFAIK unless he’s talking about The star map thread by Levap which is more generalized and not geared toward any specific headphones

Sorry guys, indeed - my question was about the Star map, and how Hifiman HE6SE (Adorama version) fits in the big picture (also also compared to Snorry), so I posted my question there.

I had a listening comparing session with the Verite this morning. The Snorry has quite a bit wider soundstage. The Verite is a bit wider. The Verite has a thicker timber. The Snorry is definitely more detailed. The biggest Strength of the Snorry and why I believe it is a super flagship is the layering, separation and air between the instruments is the best I have heard. The best way to describe it is…the Verite has great separation but it seems like it is on the same page or field so to speak. The Snorry has like 3 pages or fields where the instruments are sitting….imaging is astounding. The Verite has better (at least more quantity) bass.
