Changed today to 3 and 9 o’clock to see how it goes. A bit more bass apparently, yet controlled. Comfort also good.
Went back to 2 and 10 o’clock. More balanced sound for my liking.

For those interested to check how clean and deep is the sub bass of their Abyss (or any other hp for that matter) Why So Serious? by Hans Zimmer is a great track.
Played loud it will also assess the control your amplifier has over the AB 1266 drivers (wait until about 3:25)
WOW, just found out this! Amazing track to listen with the TC’s. Thanks for sharing!

Also a good track to test for any hairs stuck underneath the pads ... At first I thought one of the drivers was off... I heard a weird noise on the right side when playing this song, from 3:25 onwards. I had not noticed anything 'wrong' with any other track. The extreme forces unleashed by this song revealed it. Taking the pad off and putting it back on took care of the 'problem'.. Fortunately.WOW, just found out this! Amazing track to listen with the TC’s. Thanks for sharing!

Back to pad rotation my pads are set differently because bass becomes uneven so I have the left side at 4 and right side at 9. I don't know what causes the bass to be more in one ear cup when equal.
I borowed Abyss 1266 (1st rev) from friend and they are very good headphones, i listen with both pads at 9 o'clock and max stretch out cups.
They are top tier SQ headphones but i still like my Final D8000 and Rosson RAD-0 more becuse i just put them on my head and play music, i spend 2h with Abyss just to find right position for myself...

the first edition of the 1266 is like 6 yrs old now....the TC is night and day better so not sure what the point of the comparison was other than fit...I borowed Abyss 1266 (1st rev) from friend and they are very good headphones, i listen with both pads at 9 o'clock and max stretch out cups.

I think that was his point. I found it funny because we've all been there...not sure what the point of the comparison was other than fit...
