    Upgrading the Ether C to the Ether C flow

    Did you go via a local distributor? I did in fact complete my upgrade and am very happy although it took some weeks for them to be returned (about 6-8 weeks). Agree, comms from MrSpeakers is not great but I was not concerned as my local distributor looked after everything for me.

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Hi I have seen a number of people trading in their Ether C for sub £900 ( in UK) and then purchasing the Ether C flow. This baffles me because this is costing them around £800 compared to an upgrade cost of around £300. I can only assume then that this is just a lack of patience becasue it can...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Hi, Got min Ether C's back from being upgraded, which took a while. Luckily I was loaned a stock Ether C Flow and then and Ether C while I waited. By the way, the Ether C pairs really well with the Cavali Audio LQ2...but thats a review I may do later.   Because I had the chance to listen to...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Hi   No, I own the Ether C and have the Flow version on loan. I will be upgrading because the Flow has made a great headphone into a brilliant one. Interestingly I was not sold on the Flow initially at Camjam London, but time and Dan C) has made me a convert.

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    The HD800 is a different beast, I really like them but they are known for being very analytical and have a 'feature' at 6Khz that can be tiring out of the box. A number of mods are available to reduce this. The HD800S though has a bit more base and less of the 6Khz peak. Honestly, I would go and...

    Upgrading the Ether C to the Ether C flow

    Hi   I understand there may be two options here, can anyone explain exactly what the upgrade entails. Is it just an audio upgrade to the internals on the Ether C, leaving everything else the same or a full upgrade to the complete Ether flow? Does anyone have any experience on how successful it...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Hi I have the same setup on my desk, with the two connected via QED Reference cables. Works really well, I actually rarely boost the base at all in this configuration. The SE is better than the iDSD, its a little warmer which suits the Ether C, which I think is a little lean directly into the...

    MrSpeakers ETHER C Review / Announcement - A New Closed-Back Planar Magnetic Flagship from MrSpeakers

    Its really a matter of personal preference but the Innerfidelity review is quite helpful on this topic and Tyll has also provided some compassion frequency response curves for each combination of the tuning pads, which tell a slight different story to the sheet that came with the headphones.  ...

    I have an IDSD already and wanted to give a little bit extra in terms of headphone amplification compared to the iDSD which is very good but I think the DAC is better in my setup. I have the SE driving my Ether Cs and it does a sterling job without gain so for the moment and until I can get the...

    Thanks....Yes, I had the same view on the LCD3 some while ago in that I refused to listen to them for fear of how it would change my perception on what I already had. I just waited until I knew I could afford and justify the investment,,,,was worth the wait, for me the best closed headphones in...

    Review by 'buckles29' on item 'MrSpeakers ETHER C'

    First review on Head-Fi so I'll keep it short. I am reviewing from the perspective of how the headphone makes me feel and am not too clued up on the technical stuff...although not too bad either.   Some perspective first regarding my journey and philosophy (not completely shared with my wife I...
