Selling my Abyss 1266 Phi TC. Both drivers were recently replaced and tested/matched April 2022. The warranty is good until December 2023.

Everything is in excellent condition including pads, headband and frame. However, there is a small amount of visible 1-2 mm indenting of the wire mesh in front of both drivers. Fortunately, Abyss has assured me this has zero effect on the sound. I was given the option for Abyss to replace the mesh involving a process costing $1,500. I declined.

Selling the TC for $3900
Superconductor HP cable *SOLD*
You can get them as a combo for $5300

Does not come with the original wood storage box nor the 10 ft. stock cable, but I will include an Arctic cables headphone cable, with mini-XLR on the headphone side and 4-pin XLR amp termination (use the included adapters for the 1266 mentioned below) I'm also selling the Superconductor HP cable which is 4 ft in length and terminated in dual XLR 3-pin. Comes with standard certificate of ownership, title card, velour bag, guitar pick, and stock female XLR4 to 1/4 inch adapter.

Extras include
1. Variety of different O-rings to allow better fit customization.
2. Two female-to-female 3 pin XLR adapters from Moon Audio. This allows use with the Chord Hugo TT2 rear XLR out
3. Affinityadapter's short adapter plug to allow mini-XLR cables (Audeze, Meze, ZMF, etc) with your TC.

Price includes PayPal fee. Buyer covers shipping on this one. Local NY pickup can shave $100 off the total cost.

I was spoiled by the perfect tonality of the DCA Stealth during the 3 weeks the TC was out for repair. Now that I have it back I just can't make peace with the TC's hollow mids nor fit issues. Otherwise it is a world-class headphone.

PM me if you have any other questions.

Honestly, I don't know. My guess is that it was caused by foam that I used to protect the headphone while traveling on a plane.

My grid is also perforated. I'm caused by putting a CD into a box and transporting it together

Nice, I’m thinking about making some changes to my setup as well. What speakers are you looking at? There are so many options out there.

Depends on how big my eventual listening room is. Either the Klipsch Cornwall IV + Amp if a large room, or Buchardt A500 all-in-one system if smaller room

Both excellent choices! The Cornwall’s sound big and will fill up a room easily. Congrats on making the move to 2-channel listening!
