I'm still sticking with what I said this will not compare against the SR009 at the disgraceful price these are at. But I do feel that these are a good contender against the HE-6 and that they need power to somewhat sound decent.

In your opinion, what would beat the SR009s besides the HE-1? Don't know of any other estats out there that could compete with stax.

thank you for your honestly! gonna go for the stax system for sure now!

Look at the date. It compares the original abyss vs Stax. A lot happened in 8 years ...

I have no clue what you are talking about since we moved on from ab-1266 to phi to tc. 3 driver generations. But of course, if you think this is irrelevant, why posting here?

Yes, it's an awesome DAC. I don't think I'll ever part with it.

is this a serious post?...you are going to make a buying decision regarding TOTL HP's based upon this guys opinion of the original abyss 1266?...seriously?....personally I dont think the guy has a clue but he has a right to his opinion but his whole critique is kind of ridiculous...my suggestion is to give the 1266 TC a listen on a proper system and my guess is you will end up owning them

For speaker amp users, any good recommendations for 1266 TC? Especially low-watt amps that are safe for 1266 (like first watt?).

Curse Abyss 1266 TC I have to sit funny. Why you gotta sound so good, you'd make an easy sale for me. Damn, always having to adjust you. Abyss needs to figure out the bass issue so I could stop complaining.

i`m using an older accuphase (e250) and it´s awesome!

Is anybody using here Roon's DSP for the ab-1266tc? Would you mind sharing the setting? I searched and could not find anything.
Thanks, guys.

PS: If you believe that the tc would not benefit from eq, that's fine but no need to point out. Each to their own.

 

[jlbrach]

I wont point it out then lol...I will however say that since EQ is adjusting the stock sound I would assume it would be a trial and error thing for people seeking a different sound...what good does it do to use the settings that another person dials in?...

A guy posted this a while back. Have tried with good effect. I use it sometimes depending on my mood and if I feel the song needs a bit of help..

@Roasty @ken6217 must not be getting notifications again...

Here's a photo of his cables he ordered from Abyss... I'm sure he won't mind me sharing. No fancy black sheathing.

Hey thanks very much!
I will ask Abyss if they can make something similar.

It is not that I can come up with a setting just like that, I needs a place to start. Great someone could help here.

By the way, it is -3dB on the overall preamp. Just drag down the slider on the right of the graph. And no need to set any headroom compensation.
