I see two right here but one of them isn't around, sadly. And you have to turn those R10 around to match. L/R asymmetries tickle my OCD

 

Still nice picture! Hifiguy528 seems to be biggest audiophile Sony Buff. Would love to see how he compares the models. Does he have r10? @HiFiGuy528
 

 
play that again...

Heh, really?
 
Ok, meet the Sony sisters.

 
Then, the latest one from France in burn-in.

 
Good times.

Nice! Is that a bass-heavy or bass-light R10?

Oh wow. Any chance of a full comparison between these 4 headphones?

Did the magnesium domes tighten up the attack compared to biocellulose?

Congrats!
Any brightness issues? 

I think mine is developing a peak around 6-7k after burning for 60hr
not sure if it was there before , but i just EQed -(2-3)db to make it easier on my ears
The Z1R from what i hear now is V shaped  more than TH-900 ..

Really? I just think it is more resolving. The measurements didn't show that peak if I remember correctly.

Why does one person reporting something make it fact?

That doesn't happen based on any of my experiences or anything I've ever read. It could be your source, amp, DAC? I've never seen headphones adjust that much over time with any quantifiable data whatsoever. The TH900s are horribly V or U shaped and that's the biggest reason I eventually sold them (that and the tizzy treble had me avoiding so many recordings).

No, just expressing what I feel when I see that comment.
 
Need to experience it myself in order to tell. could be the unit, etc, etc
 
btw, r u using aftermarket cable?
 
Thinking of ordering the Norne cable, long wait though..

So do you feel the Z1R improves on those concerns for you?

Are you planning to publish a review soon? hehe, wanna know what you think in details

When it comes to cables I'm the wrong person to ask (if you were even asking me). I do use the nice Norne Solv X cable, but I use it more for function as I need a speaker tap cable. I don't hear differences with cables personally, but I'm happy for those who do.

I've always been a burn-in skeptic due to the lack of any data whatsoever. In the absence of data, the null position is the one to take. Have they changed...hard to say if it was my brain, music or new Sony/Kimber cables I'm now using?

I do plan on it....might take a month or two though.

I didn't mean do you believe in burn in, I was asking if you feel the Z1R improves on the sound signature issues you experienced with the TH900.
