Since being blessed to have the opportunity to listen to both the VO and VC in my system (Hugo 2 > WA5 > Norne Sliverguard S3-C > VO/VC) I've sold my Abyss 1266, Utopia and I'm experiencing headphone nirvana. For the first time in my HeadFi experience, I have zero desire to buy, or even listen to anything else, I'm absolutely satisfied, no thrilled, with what I have. Not to sound like a spoiled (I am so blessed), materialistic person, I'm really not, but I'm sure many of you can relate in your audio journeys. Where once the ”new toy” phenomenon starts wearing off, I get restless, an itch to try something new, with my current rig, I'm cured of that symptom of audio Nervosa. These headphones are that good, I tend to prefer rock, jazz, and the blues with the VC, they have such incredible immediacy, its like nothing else. Then for classical and opera, the VO’s slightly more relaxed and wins the day!
