Anyone tries WyWires Platinum calbe with AB-1266?

No
I had tried it with the 4z and it was horrible to me. Was just not good at all
But the form factor and weight is infinetly better than the stock poopy jps labs cable..

 

[vonBaron]

Why? With MrSpeakers/Dan Clark headphones its great.

 

[attmci]

Can someone please explain what these o-rings for and where and how they are attached to the TC?

It makes the 1266 sounds much better than using the stock o-rings.

 

[jlbrach]

for me the o ring leaves the band a bit more slack and allows it to sit better in terms of positioning for my ears

HAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHA

Only the copper ones. Silver is too bright.

 

[Ciggavelli]

I can't stop listening to this band.

Sounds great out of the TCs too

 

[Jon L]

Good stuff. I can't stop listening to this female lead.

I was hating on the new headband before, but I must admit, it's a better fit than the old one. I had on the TCs for several hours today, and I didn't get the hot spot on top my head. With the old headband, I could only wear it for like an hour and a half. Now, I can forget that I have on the TCs and just enjoy album after album.

I have changed my mind on it. So, sorry @Joe Skubinski for my initial comments. You were right, it grows on you.

I still think it looks horrible, but that really doesn't matter when it's on your head. When my new O-Rings arrive hopefully it will fit even better (and maybe it will stop bunching up)

 

[jlbrach]

I think the headband is definitely better I just had problems with the o ring making it too tight and difficult to wear, with the new o ring it is excellent

np, I know change can suck.

Yoooo guys, For O ring, the stock is R19, R22 and R23 fits me the best. Please don't go too far, since R23 already makes the headband touches the frame even at the widest setting of the frame, so really no reason to go bigger size.

Did you try adjusting the arms back-and-forth as well as pulling in and pushing oit the arms? It will change the sound.

I feel that changing the earpads and arm position influence the bass and soundstage a lot, but not much for the brightness... I should say, it is sibilance for some instruments and some vocals bother me a lot(a lot of pain for my eardrum.....). I played Brahms and Beethoven violin concerto and the violin sounds perfect with no sibilance at all.

Except for this annoying issue, I would say I love everything about TC lol

Trying to figure it out now....
1. Anyone tried to DSP or EQ the 1266 phi TC? I'm thinking to -3db @ 9khz or 11khz
2. I saw a mod from https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/new-abyss-ab-1266-v2-incoming.4163/page-4

I'm very surprised that looks like I am the only one who has this issue...... Maybe something wrong with my system...? Surface pro6(fidilized)->mscaler->dave->formula s+powerman ...

Thanks guys!

I am very very sensitive to sibilance and spikes, expecially after 4khz
The TC is phenomenal that it can resolve calculus if yiu wanted to, without the sibilance
I do however have many bad recordings that I love, I mean mp3, 128 horribly mastered stuff. I listen with thr TC on those too but definitely more sparingly as pain comes in after just a few tracks.
Poop in is poop out.
If course with quality masters or at least Tidal for example I have no issues.
Some tracks are just built with spikes ect.
