I just can't imagine someone saying the HD800 of all things is better than the TC. XD
But more importantly...if you like it and it gives you these vibes then let no man criticize you.

He must be on reddit. All users on Reddit hate Abyss, lol. Besides that, I cannot see him having a TC for comparison, so ... does he know what he is doing?

Did you just get the TC recently? I really like the coating on the new one compared to the old one. The OG's shinniness doesn't look as professional. If you are up for it, even if you don't find pants, I would love to hear your sound comparisons on the two. Ha ha!

I hope everyone can find their favorite 1266

I heared the new Porcupine Tree Album already with 1266 TC amazing!

With CRBN to die for!
Raal is incoming...will be fun!

It's even better in Dolby Atmos (via Realiser A16) on the TC.

Audio Note 4300E > TC - some of the cleanest neutral balance I've heard, this is really good synergy.

After a year of listening to tc. My impression is that, the sound signature definitely goes along with its look, the mids sounds metallic and clear in a good way. It lacks the airiness of susvara and detail retrieving of 800s. The bass is punchy when you adjust the pad to 9 o'clock position even however it doesn't really live up to bass quality of d8k pro. What it does the best among all the headphones I own is its staging. With the right setup, it makes every recording sounding like recorded in a concert (I'm driving mine with pontus and soloist gt). It's my go to headphone for live recordings.

Hd800s sound is a lot more in your face than tc. With crossfeed, sound is literally coming from every direction. Tc sounds like its coming from a distance and with more depth. I can argue HD800s has slightly better detail retrieval than TC. Imo, HD800s gives you the instant wow factor. But in no way, you can jam out to 800s. It's severely lacking with bass delivery

what is your overall take of the abyss to the d8000 pro. i have read a lot about the latter and it definitely looks like a quality headphone.

It has better detail retrieval than TC. The low end of bass bass hits very deep. What TC does better is its quantity of bass. It's simply bombastic and staging is far superior. The best way I can put it is d8k pro sounds like a listening in a intimate room with pitch black background, while Tc is listening to music in a concert hall.

My setup from last year, it was better than the setup I'm having now. M19 and monoliths dac/amp are replaced. the overall sound didn't change a lot switching from m19 to soloist GT. Tc certainly excels in quantity over quality, that's not saying its quality is bad. It has its strengths and weaknesses just like every other cans I own.
