The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
Oct 5, 2024 at 12:19 PM Post #22,816 of 22,970
We'll have more info on the new pads soon. Expecting to have these available in November. These are now assembled in-house same as the latest Diana ear pads. They look similar but are a total redesign with all new components.

On another note, check out the new NATI INFINITY album from Alessandro Cortini, mixed and mastered with ABYSS Diana and AB1266. The bass in these tracks is crazy! Alessandro came all the way from Italy to visit us at CanJam SoCal. Awesome guy!

Can you tell us the intended benefits of the new pads?

I haven't been listening to the TCs that much, given my new SusUV. I should get the Immanis soon. The TCs are getting long in the tooth, but are still good. I'm not liking Abyss leadership at the moment. If they wanna talk sh!t to me, I could easily talk sh!t about their cans. But, I'll keep it civil. The TCs still have the best bass in town.

But, yeah, listen to that new Blood Incantation if you haven't already. It's amazing. It's probably the best metal album of the year.

Although I'm still happy with my pads and tuning conditions, I'm in for the support.

Nah, it was said in private so Iโ€™ll keep it private. Iโ€™m one of the biggest 1266 TC supporters on here, so for them to talk to me in a disrespectful way really surprised me. Abyss has terrible PR. You shouldnโ€™t be pissing off your biggest fans and supporters. It makes no sense and boggles the mind. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@Ciggavelli We very much so appreciate your support over the years, no disrespect here.

Since it's no longer private, I pm'd to say how disappointed I was in his post in the new Woo Audio WA24 thread. I felt it was out of context and suggested we need to be a bit less reactive in this community.

@Ciggavelli I also asked if you ever spoke to Woo about this directly, as in a phone call? I'm quite sure Jack Wu would be happy to talk with you about it.
I've seen the lack of communications as the root cause of too many misunderstandings recently. We really need to talk to each other man.

Happy to talk about anything, call me any NY weekday afternoon +1 716-288-9112.

Thank you!
Joe

People typically don't like being referred to as a "little child on reddit." ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ The Woo sh!t is terrible. Woo never responds to anything on here. I have asked many times on their official threads. Woo is taking the approach that it's better to just ignore the issue. I actually spoke to Jack at Can Jam NYC about the 3ES, and he confirmed that it's not true 300B. I think my 3ES concerns are very, very real. I also think it is still a problem that Woo won't show their internals or discuss the parts they use. Like I mentioned in that original post, I'm a big WA33 EE JPS fan (and still have it), but what they did with the 3ES really disappointed me. Maybe their WA24 is good. I'm going to Can Jam Dallas most likely, so we'll see. I think I am warranted to be skeptical of Woo after the 3ES, and I think others should be too.

But let's put this behind us. I'm a big supporter and I look forward to the new pads

I'm still 100% in love with my AB 1266 Phi TC's. They are so incredibly revealing.

I've been rolling SFP's over the last week, and the differences between the 3 SFP's are immediately apparent/obvious when listening through the 1266's.

With the right matching gear, they have it all, technicalities, musicality, spaciousness. A thrilling listen that you can enjoy all day. I LOVE that they don't seal around the ears. I find that so much more comfortable.

Well I will like to say I finally Jumped on the AB1266 Phi TC Train. All I will say is Wow right now. All my concerns about them have been shattered.
What do you run them on?

Just my two cents as an owner of both Abyss and Woo products. IMHO Im shocked, not surprised. These two companies and the people associated are at the Top of the industry in respecting their customers. Joe at Abyss and Jack and Michael at Woo are terrific to deal with and for me went out of their way to answer my questions and accommodate me wherever needed. I agree wit another post I saw. Must be a misunderstanding Good guys give a call

Except Woo has a checkered history and has been checked which has been largely ignored.

Audiophiles are naive and aren't informed as an engineer counterpart.

What Woo advertises is simply misleading for those inept.
