It's never been about fidelity nor enjoyment.

It's:
1. About whom has the biggest dick.
2. Nervosa. Nervosa. Nervosa.

I guess you speak from the hart .

Hey all, I really didn't mean to stir up this much drama just because I don't like a pair of headphones!

I suggest you return the TC

I asked, and just found out that there's a 20% restocking fee. So to anyone reading this thinking about buying a pair, keep that in mind before purchasing

I don't understand how one could fail to be impressed with the TC upon first listen, even before break-in and on a poor setup

I will admit that maybe my setup is poor, but all of my other headphones sound great on it

see that little black box in the middle with no label? that's a DIY Noir headphone amp, and I get tons of enjoyment out of it with some of my headphones, yet most people wouldn't even consider it because of what it is. My empyreans sound wonderful on it

For some it's the case and for others it's not. Accuracy in details does not always equate musical enjoyment.

Quite right! I don't care one bit about accuracy, only how big of a smile it puts on my face

IMO 1266 need something better than RME ADI.

Sonnet Morpheus

That’s a no brainer. I love mine!

Actually John Grandberg (Project86) has a review coming out in Darko soon of the Morpheus.

Sonnet Morpheus

Still undecided on which R2R DAC I want to get. The Sonnet Morpheus, Rockna Wavelight or Holo Audio May KTE as an alternate sound to my TT2/HMS. Help me choose

I want to hear Wavelight someday, but now im in love with my Morpheus.

I can’t help you choose as I ever heard the other DAC’s, but previous to owning the Morpheus I had the Metrum Pavane Level III, dCS Debussy, and Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC, and the Morpheus beats them all.

Morpheus better than dCS Debussy? That quite achievement.

As much detail but smoother. Bass is amazing BTW.

I've had my AB-1266 Phi TC for about a year now. Fantastic sound. I have had an issue with some rattling at certain bass frequencies, however. An issue I don't have with my Stellia or Utopias. They're actually at Abyss now getting looked over. Have any of you guys had an issue with rattling? On my headphones, it's only in the left speaker so I have a feeling it's not an overall limitation of the headphone. I'm running them through a Hugo 2 TT/M Scaler through a WA33 Elite.

I did at some point. A weird rattle on the right side was apparent at low frequencies (Hans Zimmer / Why so serious). It turned out to be a hair stuck between the pad and the driver!

But I guess your issue is a little more serious than this. I am sure they will sort it out at Abyss, and I hope that you will get it back soon!

 

[vonBaron]

This is what im worries about, drivers have almost 0 protection.
