I was just wondering the same thing. I wonder how they will change the sound. Hopefully even more bass.

I’m told my Rooms Audio AB-1266 Stand arrived today. So I will have a nice surprise when I return home this week.

For anyone wanting one of these you better get on the list ASAP. From what I understand it will be the last run of this amazing stand. They will no longer be produced.

Norman at Abyss tells they're expected Q1 in 2025

Yarp.

Will a 1266 TC that is 4 years old sound the same as one made today- or did they make changes? Assuming same earpads of course.

same pads I assume a TC will sound the same

You dont think they made incremental changes over the years?

I hope not :O I think mine was not a very recent one when I got it from a local store

I am pretty sure a TC is a TC the changes have been the pads..I have had 2 TC and my current one is a recent unit and I hear no dofference from the one I bought 4 yrs ago

I mean chassis is the same, drivers can be replaced. When mine were, they sounded the same after service

Answer from Norm at Abyss:

Hello Steven and thank you for reaching out! There have not been any updates to the drivers at this time. We have updated the pads and headband, but many AB1266 Phi TC have shipped with the new ones, so you may already have them.

When are the new pads they where talking about hitting the market?

Norman at Abyss tells they're expected Q1 in 2025. So a bit to wait yet.

Look for the rooms stand a that was being in discussed in this thread a few weeks ago. The last ever production is being sold as we speak, it may even be sold out.

You can search them on this thread, lots of 1266 stand discussion. But for the best 1266 stand (the rooms stand), at least according to a lots of members of this thread, you have to act quickly before its gone forever.
