Audeze - MM-Series - MM-500
Has anyone else a/b-ed the MM-500 vs. LCD-5? And would you care to weigh in with specific similarities and/or differences?- pataburd

Focal Clear headphones
The Clear OG take EQ very well. Have them running with the Oratory 1990 settings.- pataburd

The Ethernet cables, Switches and Network related sound thread. Share your listening experience only.
Definitely let us know how things work out. For me, going from Wi-Fi only to Ethernet only brought about noteworthy improvements.- pataburd

Core Power Technologies Equi=Core 300 cable/conditioner, are there any Head-Fi users?
The [5 amp, 600 watt] EQUI=CORE 600 is here! A 40-hour break-in period is advised. But already, about 8-10 hours in, I am hearing definite improvements in transparency, resolution, perception of openness, air and dimensionality [i.e. practically everything]. Dynamics, both macro- and micro-... -

Focal Clear headphones
@headstef makes a good point. I have the Neumann NDH-30 [$649 USD MSRP], too, with Fog City Audio Mogami re-cable. . . . and as a matter of taste I must admit that I prefer the superior openness, imaging and "studio" neutrality of the Neumann. By comparison, the Clear OG [$990 USD MSRP]--as good...- pataburd

Core Power Technologies Equi=Core 300 cable/conditioner, are there any Head-Fi users?
The EQUI=CORE 600 is due to arrive tomorrow. Am looking forward to swapping out the PowerVar and Tripplite conditioners I currently have in place and (hopefully) hearing an improvement with the advent of the Core Power device. -
Focal Clear headphones
Just hooked up the Clear OG [w/NeoTech UPOCC hybrid hpc and Oratory 1990 EQ. They sound excellent: "clear", dynamic, tonally brilliant and balanced--especially with the Violectric V222 [this amp, like no other I have tried so far, really wakes up the Clear]. Bass response isn't too shabby...- pataburd
