I have wondered if you'd rather sell a Stax amp or one of your own designs... In the audio sense, they're competing products, but for you, considering that the sale prices are relatively comparable, the BHSE would require a lot more time and effort per unit sold.
I want to audition the CRBN first like I said . I'm based in London ,and there is an authorised dealer who has most of TOTL on display.
You seem to confuse them with another model. They were released 2021 and as far as I can tell, didn't receive any major revision
Surprisingly see how flat sus is on bass. What amp are you using for x9000 in this test? Thanks!
Novem for X9000. Bliss for Susvara.
Thanks for generating and posting that. The resonance peak (and associated roll-offs) would seem to explain why *I* found the X9000 bass to sound much more realistic and satisfying on some tracks versus others. Overall, I find Susvara's bass more accurate, consistent, and subjectively superior. As always, one listener's opinion...
No prob. When you say resonance peak, you mean the one at 50Hz?
Yes, I meant the peak at 50 Hz. I no longer own my X9000, but I did usually apply a 2-3 dB bass shelf below 100 Hz, as I routinely do with any estat. Had I done some research into the X9000's actual bass response, I clearly could have tailored a much more effective EQ, but bass wasn't the only issue I had with it in the end. All this said, I still consider it a superb headphone overall, but one that likely requires a dedicated high-end amp (instead of my iESL) to maximize its potential. I decided not to travel that path in the near term, and now that Immanis is on the scene, I may never do so.
Great job! Surprised to see MiniDSP EARS can get such smooth response, the accuracy is usually not good for measuring headphone on low-cost artificial ear.
Awesome, thanks. Didn't know that. Will post my results here when I get them.
