I would certainly say that the Lavri Grand increases clarity and transient speed and tightness over the Axios CU without any harshness but then you loose a little warmth and lushness

Tou dis not reply my question. If a lavri grand silver increases clarity in mids and high of the MDR-Z1R

Quick question for those of you who listen to the Z1R with a WM1Z (balanced): what volume do you set for moderate/above moderate volume?

I have the WM1A. I connect balanced with hi gain. Generally speaking Rock and Pop music is around 40, classical and jazz around 50. I listen at what I consider a moderate volume (roughly 60-70dB). Occasionally I bump it to 55 or so for passages that really need it.

Hey guys, strange question, but if anyone has the WM1Z box handy, please can you post LxWxH measurements here. Official thread is closed and I can't find it online.

Hey all, random question but the answers may or may not pull the trigger.

Should I pull the trigger on this cans? Or wait out for the next flagship? This will be my first cans and want to sit it alongside the IER-Z1R on my desk (Family? lol)

They are great if you like their sound sig which is very similar but not identical to the MDR. Nobody knows if or when a new flagship comes out

After looking around for a complimentary pair to my HD800S that might also be an upgrade from the HD650, these have caught my attention. I can listen to the 800S all day long on my setup, and I don't want to replace it, but sometimes I want a bit more quantity in the lower-end without losing too much resolution like I do on the 650. I'm torn between this and the LCD-3, but also looking at LCD-4, and considering the stratosphere with the 1266 Phi TC (which would very likely require a new amp, and total cost would be multiple times the Z1R). The Z1Rs definitely look to be the most comfortable out of the lot which is a big plus. The 800S and Z1R seem like a good duo to have on the desk to switch back and forth with for differing traits. Is the Z1R what I'm looking for? Chain is fairly warm and smooth, Directstream Jr. dac (Qobuz or CDs) > HDV 820 amp.

Z1R will work great with smooth chain. ZMF VC and new Atrium also has great lower end as well if you like dynamic drivers.

Thanks to @nc8000 i am tewting silver cables.

Seems to make the Z1R kore correct than fopper by shelving off some bass bloat, still not same detail retrieval of the Lieic but what an improvement

No lube!

Love the Bach. I'm listening to Bruckner symphonies presently after attending a concert last night (for the first time in ages).

These were my seats, in the first row of the lower balcony. It was quite splendid and I thought that it was more detailed than the experience over headphones:

But after comparing them I've got the say the experience with this recording from the WM1A-Z1R combo comes quite close! Being able to see the orchestra probably helps with perceived "imaging," but listening over the headphones after doing so also increases that sense.

Anyway, doing the comparison has definitely affirmed my belief that the Z1R is a great classical headphone. It sounds "big" in the way that being in the hall itself does, but it also has the strong, clear bass I think is critical for that "being there" feeling, especially with instruments like the double bass and tympani.

So what would you guys/gals consider an appropriate source for the ier-z1r? I'm looking at getting a set and the only source I own is dx312. Would this pair up well or should I look for another pair up?

Thanks
