Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
They appear to be the same size as stock- I'll probably give the Elite Hybrids a try.- Slackaveli

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
Well thats unfortunate. If anything Id want the pads a bit thicker. Are the different foam materials used more comfortable despite being thinner or less so? Bigger problem for me is any shorter and my ears will be touching and i dont want that. What about Dekoni? Any other options? I would...- Slackaveli

Hifiman HE1000 Planar Dynamic Headphone
They do look exactly like ZMF pads to my eye- anybody see any differences? Could pad roll all 4 options for the price of one set of ZMF pads.- Slackaveli

Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
Feels more like the 3rd row to me. I dislike too-forward of vocals but adore my OG Yggy on my Class A amp (Mentor). In fact it feels great width and depth wise. Can't speak to how the MiB sounds bc Ive never heard one though. According to Marv's chart they have great head-stage as well.- Slackaveli

Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
it will if paired with a 4v or 5v DAC. But it won't be as good as other more powerful amps, which you are obviously well aware of as you asked about a starting point.- Slackaveli

great point. 4v is absolutely necessary and really Tungstens like 5v even better.- Slackaveli

Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
Ah- but the GS2 he mentioned is $1699 for now but won't be here forever (limited time product) so there's some math to consider.- Slackaveli

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
Sell it and buy a Mentor... Im teasing but also not. Not poopooing Mjolnir, though, more just gassing up Mentor- which is fair and it's worthy. Costs a little more than MJ3 but not significantly. Synergy with a Pontus II >> Meze Elite via Mentor would be there.- Slackaveli

Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
I mean, I too love Hifiman, my reference is HeK Stealth and his is HeKse. Saying they are detail monsters or even better in some aspects than Tungsten is fine and fair even. But saying Arya was more detailed than DS Tungz has to be wrong, for instance. IDK, his voice and the slow way in which he...- Slackaveli

Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
Something is off in that relationship. I dont think Ryan would throttle orders and want Mimic to sell as many as they can. Thats just puttin undue pressure on him and I don't see why he would prioritize those orders while other people are having to speed order for 3 minutes a month. I fully...- Slackaveli

Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
I'm SAYIN'. Like, put that up on Reddit AITA and watch everybody come at dude. Tell us your opinion, sure, then send the damn cans back already if you dislike them so much. Why are you hanging onto a demo for 6 months to continuously make negative content with?! That's just damn weird. Bad...- Slackaveli
