Yep, wooden box is no longer included, now you have leather briefcase instead.

Regarding the wooden box comments few posts above, yes there is no longer the wooden box with the green wooden lid. It also does not come with the leather case that a poster mentioned above unless you get the upper tier package.

Just wanted to clarify for a few, but sorry I do not have my box anymore as it is put safely in long term storage.

In my country there is no other tier than middle (with leather case) and complete (wit LC and SC cable).

Not following what has been going on, but is DMS out of Abyss now or doing both? He added tons to Abyss' YT presence.

He still works at Abyss, he's just out sick. When he recovers, expect the videos to resume!

Then the PHI TC is now only delivered in a cardboard box? Like Audeze uses in the LCD-X (XC) Creator Edition?

Does Hifiman now have the higher-quality presentation?

Yes cardboard box. A decent one though. Tbh I did not mind. As mentioned I was just thrown off as this was my 2nd brand new pair and my 1st one came with the wooden. Its no biggie imo.

Rustle can be caused by your hair touching the driver. 'When putting them on' points in that direction. Solution: get a haircut.

I need a haircut!!! lol ...

this is honestly hilarious that the company that sells 2,000 dollar cables cant ship it in a nice wooden box

or any box....like any box made of anything thats sturdy

just my opinion don't eat me

I found the cardboard box of my LCD-XC Creator Edition very loveless. With an ultra high-end product like the PHI TC, I expect a lot more than a cardboard box.

I was toying with the idea of buying the SC cable, I need 1.8 meters, it costs €2990 in Europe.

My take: (and I have a PHI CC wood box). The wood case is a nice touch but other than re-sale at some point in time I can't imagine what else I'd do with it. The leather bag is something I would never use. Do away with both and go with a pelican case with cutout for the phones and at least 2 sets of cables (stock and SC).

 

[Paul Noir Culte]

A Pelican case would be the best solution anyway, but only a cardboard box is very disappointing. Who starts selling the wooden box? I'm selling mine for €1000

At 7500$ cdn , something would be nice - although I was fortunate to get a wooden box and much lower price last year

Been playing with toe-in and I do like what I'm hearing. I definitely get a more in front sound whereas with a toe out I think the stage felt a bit wider but the singer could sometimes sound more behind or to the sides then in the front. Pads are still roughly at 3 and 9 and with the toe-in maxed I get a bit too much pressure on my temples but with it slightly less then max it's comfortable. Bass is about the same or maybe a bit less depending on the amount of toe-out I used. But, I still get a gap close to my jaw with it toed-in or out so bass is similar

Are you still rocking this configuration? I’m also 3 and 9 and will mess with toe in tomorrow
