The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

Has anyone compared/auditioned the AIC-10 and WA33 with TC? Please share your thoughts.

I am currently using the Headtrip Reference. Looking to add Hybrid/Tube amp as an option.

Thanks.

One of the biggest positive changes I ever made to my setup, with any headphone, was to add a woojer belt to my amp output. Woojer is a vibration belt which transforms bass waves based on the musical input to a physical feedback. It is kind of like standing in front of the big loudspeakers during a concert. It is really very entertaining to hear the glorious bass of the abyss, and feel it in your stomach :L3000:

Whoa, never heard of this before...looks interesting. Like a subwoofer for your body.

How do you connect it to your amp?

How do you connect it to your amp?

I use a normal 3.5mm cable which fits the woojer as is. My amp has different outputs and i use a 6.4mm to 3.5mm Adapter to connect there. Simple and effective.
This doesn’t work well for easy to drive headphones like the Empy since the input “volume” is too low for the woojer. With the abyss or HD800S, no problem.

Is it better than the Subpac?

well, the woojer belt is a small device with a simple setup, either Bluetooth or 3.5mm. The bigger version is a vest with 8 transducers.I do not know how they compare to subpac, but woojer is easy to setup. The subpar seems less so, but I personally did not try.

I use the Buttkicker LFE Audio transducer with an amp connected to the bottom of my home theater chair and the sub output of my surround sound processor for home theater. The chair shakes with the bass output. You set the amp so that the amount it shakes is commensurate to what you hear so that it’s not out of proportion. It is so good.

Sounds great. I personally use the woojer vest on my office chair when I watch movies, so it needs to be movable. But it does the same with no amp.
But in any case, for using with the ab-1266, the belt is best just plugged into the amp using the 3.5mm connector plus adapter.
