I think the MR is quite wonderful for metal and rock, with its fuller sound...

These are things I don't understand, but it's certainly my fault. You've had the DZ for a couple of days, it's great, but you're selling it without even finishing the break-in because... maybe you want to get the Susvara. So it's not that great, according to your actions...

The pot when you change volume?

Auralic Vega G1 / Luxman P-750u in mid sensitivity

The dots around the knob no, please... so cheap looking

Isn't there any discounted offer for pre-sale of the DZ?

MR = Medium Range DZ = Definitive Zone

MR vs Final D8000 Diana MR is a rich and smooth headphone, but the D8000 is way more relaxed, apart from the telluric wall of bass it can erect. The Final has a wider stage, but is perceptibly set back in terms of the position of the performers... diffuse mids, more controlled sound. With the MR...

Benchmark HPA4

I can't access the EU shop. Login doesn't work (reChapta challenge)...

If you like Audeze or are a... metal fan: Diana all the way.

My kitchen scale says the MR weighs 424 grams. Are the declared 360 without pads? Quite light anyway, for a full size planar.

Do you think the ported vegan are "too much" of thick sound?

There are some similarities from my first session: a smooth sound, very solid in sub-bass. The MR has less bass / mid-bass obviously, but it is more forward, has a more prominent midrange and is exceptional with vocals. Lighter and more comfortable. If you like the Final sound, the MR is a nice...

My Desert Ironwood is 630 :darthsmile:

Maybe he's referring at the simple matt finish, compared to the textured Shibo coating of the D8000....

You could consider a Topping P50 linear PS, too...

"Differences in sound quality of D7000/D8000/D8000 Pro Edition By using newly designed drivers such as the newly developed "Pina Align Diffuser," the D7000 delivers sound that combines the volume and open bass and delicate treble that are the hallmarks of the D8000 and D8000 Pro Editions. It...

Keep calm. I've been listening to the SR1a for some time and find it to be an exceptional headphone, but with a poor headband, and I simply see that the construction style hasn't evolved much over time. It may be comfortable but, for the high asking price, from my point of view you also need...

Awful headband for the price...

Alto is much better than the amp built in TT2?

So? Even Benchmark or RME are for professionals, but with a wider market of listeners. Maybe they choose to sell it only via direct sale....

The Ultima Integrated, (the beast in photo) is 10000 Euro, so i believe something less. Edit: 2600 pounds! https://www.proaudio.de/en/news/recording/29307-chord-electronics-introduces-the-alto-headphone-nearfield-monitor-amp.html
