I'm not usually a headphone pad guy nor do I like to mod anything - I like to run everything stock by manufacturer decision but sometimes on occasion you just hit that magical pairing!
Can anyone confirm this; there were only 1000 of these made? The store where I demoed the Edition 11 later told me it will be hard to get more stock in because this particular model only had 1000 of them made. At that price I would worry about Ultrasone actually bothering to support the headphone down the line, which is sad because I really liked the pair I demoed.
. For anyone that is interested in tubes. This little Ampapa A1 is a gem. I got bored of my SMSL SH-9. But the A1 gave it life. Widening and adding depth to the soundstage. The low end has amazing texturing. Mids are smooth yet full and crystal clear. Treble has amazing extension. To say I prefer this match up of the SH-9 and A1 over my Schiit LYR+. I am impressed. Yes the LYR+ has more power. But the SH-9 + A1 just sounds so good
According to Ultrasone, only 1111 were produced.
What tube(s) did/do you have on hand for the LYR+?My love for the Edition 11 has been reignited. Damn!!!! they are so so sooo good
Off topic - How do you like your 780i?
I put mine on with these Ibasso thick pads tonight and damn I think I just found a new winner... bass is very impactful and enhanced.
As for the edition 11 - it's going to be a different tuning than you're used to with Ultrasone. It wasn't for me personally but it is richer and smoother than typical. It is less excited up top but quite detailed and nuanced.
Thicker pads deff have a nice effect on those 780 - agree - richer sound, more liquid. Great headphone. Enjoy!Swapped out the stock 780i PRO pads with Brainwavz oval hybrid pads. The Ultrasones' sound has significantly improved: tighter, quicker and more detailed with a richer, more liquid tonality.
