The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

I guess I am in the minority because I have no issues w/ the new rings or headband. It dramatically improved my fit and comfort because the original headband sat too low for me and created hotspots after a while. So the new thicker padding alleviated both my issues and dare I say it's nearly as comfortable as Susvara now.
I have to say... with the new headband (with the larger size O rings), I find the TC very comfortable now, and yes, I now find the comfort better than Susvara. The Susvara needs deeper pads to reclaim the number 1 spot in terms of comfort for me.. And I read in the Susvara thread that Dekoni is working on that... I say bring 'em on! :)

Agreed. I very occasionally use the Dave as preamp to be able to control the volume with the remote. With the volume on the Formula S low, 25% or so, I got some kind of distortion or clipping. When I put it at 50% or so it works well.
They have clipping meters. My car audio days I used one to set the gains on my amps it measured 1k hz.

I know it's portable but it does xlr out, and seems strong would it power the TC? Would love if it to power TC inside and I can use portable for iems
Just looked it up now - if I understand correctly it is rated at 1.6W @75Ohms out of the XLR, which is on paper, very high. Should be sufficient to drive just about anything - the Romi BX2 is also super powerful, I'll be able to test the 1266TC with it in a few weeks and can update you then
