For those willing to give their AB-1266 TC drivers some serious gym in the bass region I recommend Graffiti Jazz No. 3, the 2nd track from the new David Chesky label The Audiophile Society free sampler. Just ludicrous

The whole sampler is very variegated and enjoyable, I did not expect any disappointment from David. Having headphone-specific mastering available is a great option of course, I will follow closely the next releases from this label

Strange, I can't find this on the linked page. How can I buy it?

Graffiti Jazz No. 3 does have nice bass, but to me it's a little lean and rolled off. I set my TC's bass shelf at 48-50hz, where these are the loudest bass frequencies and everything below is rolled off. It breathes more life into the music and reveals details in this range many headphones glide over. But for tracks like that I have to adjust for more seal.

I am curious as to how you guys listen to your TCs? Where is your bass slope? 50hz, 35hz?

I primarily lean heavy heavy low low but this was a blast

Hi, has anyone tried using their Superconductor cable into any other headphones by way of a headphone connector adapter? I'm wondering if it's worth giving it a try with the Susvara, for instance.

I have Diana Phi and I bought a Superconductor when I bought the phones since I got a really good deal on the cable. I bought it because I could also use it with my Susvara which have the the same connectors. Long story short, that cable has never been removed from the Susvara. It gave a very worthwhile boost to the soundstage, clarity, imaging, bass, transparency - just everything was more.

My signal feed to Susvara is Taiko Extreme > Weiss DAC 501 4CH > Wells Headtrip II Level II > SC > Susvara.

I use different phones with different gear for optimal synergies and also own HD 800, Utopia, LCD-5, DiPhi & 1266 TC but that Susvara combination above is the best in what I have. Quite astonishing and very emotive with the right music.

Give it a try - you may just like it.

Ok i wanted to tell my experience with abyss and their quality control issue. I own a tc which I bought directly from abyss. Approx 3 years old now. About 3 months ago my left driver was causing the dreaded sleepy driver issue. Sent it to them for warranty service. Came back after month and a half later. Everything seemed ok. Now tonight will playing some music the right driver is doing the same crap. I don’t listen on a regular basis. My headphones are in my bedroom in a temperature controlled environment. Obviously when they repaired the unit they didn’t check to see the other driver which obviously has a design flaw. Btw this is my second time I’m having this issue. I originally owned the phi which I bought from them which exhibited flutter noise in bass frequencies had to get it repaired under warranty, and then sold it. Thought the tc would be a better design. A 6k pair of headphones which has max 3 year driver life. Unbelievable. Anyone here with experience like this please let me know. Let me know what my next steps should be?

Well my TC arrived exactly at jan 01 2020, bought it new from local dealer. Fortunately its still doing fine no problems so far, I hope it will going strong further than 3 years. Best headphones for my taste, especially with WA33.
