Lol. Let's say there are two restaurants in town and one of those restaurants is affordable and the other one is very expensive. If the affordable restaurant has very little negative reviews but the expensive restaurant has a number of negative reviews, then that tells you one should be...

There is obviously a buzz about issues regarding reliability for the $4,000 Focal headphone. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't necessarily know of a buzz on the internet regarding reliability issues of the $600 Sennheiser.

Easy bud.

Understood. Also, keep in mind that if the failure rate for a $600 Sennheiser is lower than the failure rate of a $4,000 Focal, then that is really, really not good.

Once again, considering the resources and depth of pockets Focal has, their failure rate should be less. Just my 2 cents.

Based on the complaints (or lack thereof), that I HAVEN'T heard over the years.

Really? I would bet serious money that the overall failure percentage for a headphone that has been around forever such as a Sennheiser HD6XX is FAR less then the failure percentage for all of the Utopias that have been produced so far.

It's unbelievable with the resources that a company like Focal has that there are reliability issues. Completely unacceptable.

2 meter Lavri Grand 8 core silver with 3.5 mm and 4 pin XLR. PM me if interested...

I put my order in for the Pallas V2. I am very, VERY excited. Can't wait.

PM me if interested...Lavri Grand 8 core silver.

I have a 2 meter Lavri Grand 8 core silver cable with 3.5 mm connectors and 4 pin XLR for Susvara. Hit me up if interested.

👍

"Compared to Lavricables, sorry no contest - you'll grasp the difference immediate when you feel/hear the Pallas." That's a bold statement bud. Lavri Grand 8 core silver ain't no joke...

After emails with Roy, it looks like I'm going the Pallas route for my HEK Stealth and I'm very excited. Has anyone any experience with Arctic cables and the HEK series? I'm thinking the silver/copper combo will give my the best of both worlds. If it's close to the Lavri (or better, obviously)...

Getting absolutely magnificent sound over here with the new addition of the Denafrips Pontus II 12th anniversary DAC. I'm literally shaking my head in amazement while listening to the Pontus II 12th/ Master 19/Stealth combo.

Hello all. Because I moved my equipment rack I am now in need of a 10 ft (3 m) headphone cable. I absolutely love my Lavri Grand 8 core silver cables for my HEK Stealth but in the new setup they are too short. I'm thinking about getting either the Vector silver or the Argento hybrid in 3 meters...

Here: https://herbiesaudiolab.com/collections/component-isolation/products/supersonic-stabilizer It has some RFI eliminating features but it's also for extra mass to increase the efficiency of his footers. Probably all mumbo jumbo but I bought them years ago and I just put them on my...

They are emi/rfi reduction discs from Herbie's Audi Lab. At least, I believe that's how they are labeled as. Lol.

Ok

Thank you! Audio Elegance rack.

I just received my Pontus II 12th anniversary. Sounding lovely.

Forgive me if you mentioned this earlier but did you try RCAs?

Could the channel imbalance be coming from upstream?

I purchased it from the original owner and it is broken in by now.
