The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

Tasteful equing? I know you mentioned shortcomings come with it, but I cannot think of many if carefully done.



Agreed, I have a Norne 18awg pure silver cable (I asked Trevor for a special cable especially for the TC) which is related (and a step up) to the Silvergarde and it makes a nice difference to the stock cable. It also has great ergonomics.

Look to your source and amplifier as well. I'm using the Moon Audio Black Dragon with my pair and I'm very impressed with what I hear!

Anyone know of a *cheaper cable* that tames the highs?
Are you still using the stock cable? Forza Audio Noir hybrid really helps put some meat on the bones in the mids. No loss of bass, resolution or any other things you'd want to retain. The biteyness in the highs can still be prevalent (IMO it's just the way these drivers can be) but the Noir is a big upgrade over stock and reasonably priced. https://forzaaudioworks.com/en/product.php?id_product=72

Have you compared to the Superconductor?

You had to edit this? You mean your original post wasn't onnoxious enough?
About as obnoxious as your reply. :confused:

At first, I was kinda taken back about the whole thing. It’s obviously the same headphone stand that we all bought a while back. So, yeah, I guess it was a little obnoxious. But, whatever. It’s a forum and people make posts on forums.

My post wasn’t obnoxious. I was just calling you out. Obviously have something to say about Abyss. So just come out and say it.

I have. Check my previous posts in this exact thread. I wasn’t even rude in the post about the headphone stand, so I’m a little confused as to why you took offense

Actually, I apologize. I read it on my phone and it didn't open up the link to the stand. I thought that it didn't mention Room and you were calling Abyss out. I guess I'm so used to the current negative posts, and jumped on you. Sorry about that.

It’s all good. I appreciate you saying that :beerchug:
