Got my TCs a month or so too early... That new headband looks nice!
On the other hand, I got these years too late! :)

I much prefer the old logo, still gonna order the new headband though. Can't beat that convenience.

Will try out the Pass pre-power in my stereo setup. Hopefully it's not immensely better than the Conductor C3R in my desktop so it stays as a weekend rig only for some real serious listening. Otherwise I'd hate to be lusting after an Int-25!

I’m sure it will sound nice. I haven’t heard the Int, but I owned the XA 30.8 and that sounded excellent.

Are most of you still at around 1-2 o'clock for pad placement? It's entirely remarkable just how much these shift in sound.

I'm at three o clock, but I have a modification with a pilot pad, and that's the only position that works with this setup. It's quite comfortable like this, but I'll probably get either the new headband or the new copilot pad to see if it can be improved further.

Is this necessary for get both sue and 1266?

Is it necessary to spend upwards of $7,000-9,000 USD to own the two most expensive non-electrostatic headphones available today?

It all depends on one's definition of the word "necessary" (and also of the word "sane" :ghost:).

Is it possible to replace the “old” headband with the newest one? I mean without damaging the “old” headband or the straps.
yes you can and easy to do.
