    THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION – Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related – a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.

    That’s pretty good. Listening on Apple Music. I believe Bob James played the original Theme from Taxi and has it here, also Downtown. I don’t believe I have ever heard a jazz rendition of “Downtown” before.

    I have been chilling out this evening with an old favorite: “Restless” by Bob James. This was released in 1994. Two of my favorite tracks are “Restless” and “Storm Warning.” I have mostly been using my Sus connected to MK-465 and Holo May ( Bliss sounded great as well ). On “Restless” you...

    Holo Audio Bliss

    With Sus, Empy, ZMF AC and Solitaire P I have found it excellent in the bass. Now I also have the May DAC, but I have found it to have the same signature when connected to my N8 DAP as well. Try playing this on it and see if the bass improves, especially the first track. This was recommended...

    Holo Audio Bliss

    That is surprising. Mine makes my Susvara hit within a few hairs of my Mass Kobo-465. I do not remember when I first got it as it now has hundreds of hours on it. Oh, do you have it in Low Z?

    Holo Audio Bliss

    I have also left it on for many days with no issue if you want to try that route as well.

    Holo Audio Bliss

    I turn mine off when not in use as I have found it sounds great quickly. I also leave on while listening or changing amps, etc and shut off for the evening.

    I did not know there were 2 versions. Please let me know both ( though I usually like good tight bass, not lacking in bass ).

    I corrected my request to show MDR-R10. I did not update to add in pads for the ATH. We can discuss that point later. Tks.

    Hi all. I was having a brief discussion with @goldwerger about top closed backs. I was sure the ZMF Atrium Closed would be his favorite (I was smitten with this at CanJam NY). Surprisingly his favorites were the Sony MDR-R10 and the Audio Technica ATH-L5000. I was wondering if any on this...

    RAAL 1995 Immanis

    Curious as to what amp was used?

    I have used both with Traillii, not that I was actually comparing. I also left the Bliss in Low Z as was using HPs and like the sound with Traillii that way.

    Please also try the XLR output using an XLR to 4.4mm adapter. I use one by DDHIFI from amazon.

    I like that stack as well. Expensive! Now try this stack at 1/3 the amount ( under $10k) and potentially be further stunned! By the way, if you are doing really well, HRA makes a dedicated stand for the Lina Stack: I don’t think my desk can even hold the stand!

    My 2 cents would be to definitely get the upgraded JPS cable for the 1266 if it does not come with it. Anytime I have heard the 1266 without that cable in it while attached to the WA33 I was not as wowed by them. Good luck, this will be a great system.

    Hi all. Thought I would ask here. On the 1266 thread I saw what looked like Abyss getting ready to produce a successor to the 1266. Does anyone have any info or know if true?

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

    I prefer the Azla Sedna EarFitLight Short tips. As to your concern of the nozzle having a wide opening without a filter, purchase an IEM vacuum and use it whenever you see wax. I consider this a must have item. Amazon has the Jodi: Jodi Consumer Hearing Aid Vacuum Cleaner...
