    I'll have to check with Dekoni about that. The minimum order quantity is huge, so that is the actual problem. For the headband, we could do something, of course.

    Anything is possible to do with ribbons, it's just that since they can have great excursion, other acoustical loading besides sealing can be used. Not wanting to do something doesn't mean it can't be done. I warn people not to EQ the bass if they expect to stay at the max SPL capability, that's...

    You're right, I didn't express my concept of continuation correctly. Also, it's important to know the actual scale. What I understand as a continuation is when a new product adds improvements, but you can still recognize the origin of it. The quantity of things have changed, but the quality of...

    Not a functional concern. E-stats attract dust by virtue of their high polarization voltage while they're on. Ribbons are neutral when it comes to that, but it's always nice to keep dust out of headphones. You just don't need to be stressed about it.

    As a tool for proving the product quality, FR is pretty much useless, until you engage other measurements that explain what FR shows and why it shows it like that. Simply, you can have a ruler-flat FR response that sounds utterly dead. Yeah, great tone balance, but dead, so now what? Good for...

    I said that to ThanatosVI in PM. Not going to publish. Earbuds are measuring better when it comes to frequency response, so it's pointless. They tell nothing very significant, unless we start to measure dynamic behavior, decay, distortion decay, ear fatigue... We're still talking what Ohms do to...

    To me, Magna is the natural continuation of SR1, regarding tone balance, adding bits that were missing with SR1. At least, that's what it was supposed to be when I tuned/voiced it. Immanis is breaking away from SR1 sound and goes "big". Intended to add more of everything and not follow the...

    To me, the bass on Immanis, being bigger at the bottom-end makes a sexier bass. Plus, a greater SPL capability down there due to a larger surface area, nails it (for me). Like in a room with a large speaker, vs. smaller speaker, that's about the difference that I was aiming for and pretty much...

    Just tuning/voicing. Dryer bass below 60Hz on Magna make the upper bass stand out more.

    Yes, the Immanis will be at MOC in quiet room with Felix Envy, probably 25th Anniversary. Also, at Hifideluxe in Marriott, I'll be in a room #137, very quiet, with Felix, Viva, Riviera, Solaja and SAEQ amplifiers...

    Yes, you do know how to use everything we made so far and I'm very glad that you do! Also, thank you for jumping in several times when I don't reply quickly, explaining what's for what. :beerchug:

    Not good for use with Interface, but good for direct drive amps. JotR actually requires that cable's resistance, inductance and probably capacitance to work it's best.

    As for Srajan, you can like or dislike his unique style, but rest assured, he will never write things that he didn't experience and he always weighs products as accurately as possible in the wider picture of audio. He knows speakers, big systems, small systems, he wasn't raised on earbuds on...
