I have Solistino and its sound really really great with speakers, great amp despite being almost 10 years old. I ordered egoista 2a3 because I like Viva sound and believe egoista also would sound amazing. now thinking about new headphones for my future Egoista. I had Eddie Current Balancing Act before, it was superb with headphones like Empy, RAD-0, ZMF, Kennerton ect, but not as good with more heavy LCD-4 and not good at all with Abyss/Susvara, it couldn't drive them. So now I am thinking to move to top HP league as my new amp shouldn't constrain me anymore) but want to know if someone tried egoista 2a3 with 1266 TC...

I wonder if the the Egoista 2A3 might be right on the edge of being in that category we might call "Not quite enough power, especially when you consider the price". Reason being that a pair of 2A3's only delivers 3.5 watts of power or thereabouts. And for the price of that unit, you'd want it to pair with your headphones of choice with absolutely no compromises.

If you're interested in a high-end 2A3 amp, the two obvious candidates are the Eddie Current Studio and the WA33, both of which employ 2A3's in a quad configuration. In other words, definitely enough power to the Abyss justice.

Also, though not directly related to your question, but I loved the Egoista 845, which I listened to seriously with the Abyss Phi on two occasions. I almost lost my mind and almost bought one new. Good thing I didn't. I mean, sometimes I wish I had. But yea. Heh.

Anyone feeling little mean and not really giving "Tidal Rising" a chance on Tidal? I have not heard a single song I liked from there.

U1 (Lumin) for sale in the For Sale section if interested.

thank you, but I not choosing amp anymore, I have chosen it already. I considered 2 options - Viva and Auris (Headonia and Nirvana) and choose italian one. I am in Europe and I don't want to order anything in the US in our tough time, in the past I can fly to the US and bring everything I want - I brought ECBA home this way, but now its impossible. Last year I was thinking about Studio or Afficionado, I like EC firm sound - but decided not to go this way. so if 1266 not good enough with Viva Egoista 2A3 - I would buy another headphones, it is not a problem now. Right now I have Empy and RAD-0. also thinking about he1000se or Susvara...

I know it's just a cable.. But I always enjoy the unboxing! Didn't expect it to come in a big wooden box... Can't wait to have a listen later tonight.

The 4 pin XLR is Gold Plated or Rhodium ?
Can you send the picture for the 4 pin XLR ?

Thanks.

I need to see the picture to make sure, because the specs says rhodium and I see mine is gold plated .

As stated in their web, it is rhodium coated

Third photograph, they show the rhodium "kind of colour"

Mind to photograph your cable?

Ow wow, that's interesting, perhaps there is a new batch or something and they change to gold plated. Don't know, need to wait for confirmation from the Abyss itself.

Generally gold plated sound smoother than rhodium, with smaller soundstage though.

Just curious where did you buy your cable from? Are you asking because you bought cable not directly from Abyss?

Here is my photo for you.
