Also not really helpful. The question was asked if the OG 1266 was worth it for $2k. Regarding dealers, they're a rare bunch. I love comments like the one you just made, but reality is for many working with a dealer isn't an option. Unless you're referring to online sales as a "dealer".

No, it not worth 2k. Clear? OK, that's only my opinion, I am sorry you were offended.

If Joe release a new version of 1266 in the near future, the TC will drop to $3500.

Wow. Someone needs to loosen his shoelaces

I am luck in that I live near an abyss dealer. I have not heard the original 1266 but can say that the TC is a step up from the PHI. I am sure that if you build a relationship with an online dealer you can find deals as well. It is always worth a shot. Besides if you are going to spend $5k on headphones it is worth finding a place to try them. Audio Vision is right there in SF give them a call.

Ive heard and owned every abyss 1266.

$2000 is a good price for the OG, but honestly I'd spend the little more to get up to a phi, I'm sure you can find a phi for 3k. It's worth it to try and find a phi at a good price. OG has a a couple issues imo that the phi fixed.

I would not be able to own an OG as my only headphone because of this. But a phi, especially with CC pads, yea, I could live with jsut that.

OG is the business. $2k is a bargain.
Keep in mind, these are revisions of the same model we're talking - not different models.

If you're in the USA, The Evolution of Sound is having a Black Friday sale. If outside the USA, contact them directly...

I was thinking of getting the 1266 TC. My amp is a Violectric V281 running balanced. I wanted to check first if this amp will drive the 1266 to its potential. Thanks.

Hi! Will there be a Black Friday sale in Canada as well? With the authorized retailer, of course.
Thanks!

Yes, it's fortunate in the Bay Area people have access to dealers like AVSF. My point was that in many cases, there is no physical dealer within a reasonable distance for people.

Yeah, I used it with my OG for years and AFAIK, the TC is that little bit easier to drive.

As he said, contact TEOS directly? Or the special is for 10% off. If your local dealer won't do 10% off for you on Black Friday... Well... Go elsewhere

 

[ken6217]

Thanks. I’ll have to take a run into the city and give a listen. Maybe they will allow me to use my amp.

I'll check with the dealer. The problem with ordering from the states is that it's usually extremely expensive to ship, you have to pay insane brokerage fees and then customs and tax calculated on top of all of those. So it usually kills the deal.

That said, I might have to wait a bit before I get the Diana's. My laptop is showing signs of death, and I might need to get a new one. There's a limit to how much money I can drop in one go lol.

 

[ken6217]

The dealer I am going to listen to the 1266 Phi model from last year. Can I assume if I like these that there TC will sound as good or better? Is the only difference the TC ear pads?

Will there be a preorder sale on the CC to TC upgrade?
