TC with US4 sound so lush and full, bass is powerful and has great control, midrange is sweet, more warm than on GS-X mini, superb resolution and detail, highs are perfect, not so sharp. Awesome soundstage.
Overall US4 is better AMP than GS-X mini and Pro ICan combine.
It is my endgame AMP.

the 4+ also happens to cost twice as much as the 2 amps combined so yes, I assume it will be better.....

How would you guys describe the tonality of the 1266, from a scale of say, super clinial & cold to super lush and warm? Which side does it lean towards more?

If you're picking sides, I would not say it's cold per se, but it's definitely not lush or warm. It's very detailed, fast and clean. Amp and component matching are a must, not just for synergy, but on the amp side also needs enough power and current to properly drive them.

it does just about everything right...along with the susvara, sr1a there is IMHO nothing better

It’s definitely the trifecta to have. Only thing better is maybe those $50k electrostatics from Sennheiser or Hifiman. I’ve never heard them though, so I don’t even know if they actually are better.

I got a T+A Solitaire P ordered. It should come soon. It’s priced to play in the TC and Susvara level, but easier to drive. Once I get it, I’m gonna do some comparisons

Just read a little on that headphone. Looks interesting. Eagerly awaiting your impressions.

Some have info about case for 1266?

 

[InstantSilence]

Does anyone put their TC in a pelican-like case? What model size have you guys found to be a snug tight fit? Oh yeah!

Do you think it's the smallest that would fit the TC?

rough tape on the dimensions of the headphones look like this would hold'em. Measure twice, buy once.

The case does have extra room in it. I used it for extra cables and such. Unless you need the smallest possible it works well.

Make sure you check internal dimensions. Plus you have to leave room for foam as cushion. The biggest issue I had in finding one was depth.

I saw a review from a guy I forget who said he listened to the abyss and the sr1a against the 50K models and he said he liked the sr1a and abyss better...I will be honest as I listen to the sr1a I find it hard to imagine much better...same goes for the susvara and abyss tc....different yes but better hard to imagine....
