I'll try to review this soon as well. Even if I can provide a Gras-style measurement of it, I hope it helps. I've never used other Fostex models so I cannot compare to those, but I'll do my best to explain the TH808 sonic performance and it compares to some others in a similar category. If...

No problem! Yeah, the WC Freeze are still a great option, especially for the price! TBH I spent waaay too much time testing these pads. At least 20 hours of notes/music testing w comfort, heat, dynamics, leakage, glasses comfort, and of course the total sound impact. In the video I have pad...

I made a detailed video comparing a bunch of pads for the Maxwell. I include frequency response measurements, pad dimensions, and more. Hopefully this helps you if you're considering switching out the stock pads. I have links in the video description to discount some of the pads, including...

Considering my buddy and I are walking around with camera gear and backpacks, its been fine so far. Just make sure you don’t swing around quickly so you don’t bump anything or anybody.

I just settled up in the hotel for the night. Tomorrow can't come soon enough! I made a list of favorites on the app so I could some of the places I had to see. I feel there's never enough time to see everything. For those going for the first time, try planning some of your rooms ahead of...

Cross posting from the other thread. I was fortunate enough to review the new Liric and there are many great improvements with it! Original Post: I released my review on the Meze LIRIC second generation this morning. I also took measurements on my rig if it helps! I use a GRAS KB006x (left...

It's so simple to remove and swap too. The magnet system is amazing, and it still has an excellent seal.

I released my review on the Meze LIRIC second generation this morning. I also took measurements on my rig if it helps! I use a GRAS KB006x (left and right) pinna clone + IEC711 Coupler fed into an XLR interface with a good preamp. These measurements can be used to compare against others on my...

Haha - As someone approaching upper 30s, these age classifications will always be a frustrating topic. I don't want to stereotypes by age "bucket", but hey at least you can save some money I suppose? Maybe I'll run into you there!

Hi Everyone, This will be my second time attending AXPONA (https://axpona.com/) and I'm super excited to see/hear so much gear again. They have an "Ear Gear" room, which is like a smaller CanJam. Some bigger brand gave been there including Sennheiser, ZMF, Campfire, Ifi, Meze, Ferrum, etc...

Apologies for the confusion. I updated the Squiglink website to include the correct pad names.

So I actually filmed a follow up video to this where I mention the change (still need to edit), but the new Duo pads are amazing and do make a big difference with vocals. Check out the objective change...

I released a video comparing the Empyrean II to the Elite. Both are great but quite different in their delivery. It's a long video but I have chapters if you only care about a certain portion. Feedback is always welcome. I wanted to add a quick note for those that prefer not to watch the...

Axpona is in mid-April in Chicago. It's a massive hi-fi show with a lot of 2 channel amps/speakers, BUT, they also have an "ear gear" room that's basically a tiny version of a Can Jam. Meze, Campfire, Sennheiser, Ifi, Focal, etc, are all there. ZMF has been there in the past as well but I'm...

Top 3 for me have been the HD800 S (6XX isn't actually far off), the Audeze LCD-X, and the ZMF Caldera.

I released my FiiO JT1 review on YouTube a couple days ago! Thought I'd share here :)

No problem. Apologies for the confusion!

Atrium Closed and Caldera are the only two I have. With that being said, this is the best they have ever sounded before going straight to the DSHA-3FN which is a massive feat considering the price gap. I like my Caldera more on the Pietus Maximus than I did on the Burson Conductor 3X GT.

Thanks so much! It was sitting on my desk with nothing else below or above it. It's not burning hot, but definitely warmer than other (albeit lower performing amps that are known more for efficiency). Cambridge, THX 887, Hifiman, JDS Atom, Topping, and Ifi were all cooler to the touch...

Just added my video review of this as well. TLDW: The amp is amazing. I used it with the ESS DAC and it had excellent dynamics and punch to it, paired with smooth vocals and a surprisingly-resolving treble performance without any glare issues. Easily one of my favorite sub $1000 audio...

I just dropped my review on the Conductor 3X GT. I'll do my best to answer questions if anyone has them!

I released a review of the TA-20 Plus on YouTube if anyone is looking for more info! I tried to balance some technical stuff with how it performed as well. Feedback and criticism are always welcome, as I'm always looking to improve my content. Otherwise, I hope it helps those curious about...

Great meeting you as well!

Lot's of amazing impressions and stories shared thus far! I was fortunate enough to have some of DMS's time to discuss his new Omega headphone. If anyone want's a little back story and more info on it, I hope this helps! I'll try to share some experiences and other products I like soon!

I love the expanded view of your ring DAC topology you have under the glass display case as well. As much as it's fun listening to gear, seeing the design process is awesome too.
