Is there any other planar magnetic headphone with sound signature resembling the LCD-3? I loved the way it sounded, but I had to sell it because its weight and clamp force were giving me nightmarish headaches. I'm looking for something warm, laid-back, with natural vocal presentation.

I have a pair of custom headphone cables made for ZMF/Audeze models. Both cables work fine with ZMF Auteur and LCD-3, but when it comes to my new Atticus, problems begin. There's slight channel imbalance out of Topping A90, and SEVERE channel imbalance out of Feliks Audio Echo (tube amp; left...

So say I have a DAC with two types of outputs: XLR and RCA, and I connect a different amp to each of the outputs, but the DAC doesn't have a selector that decides which output is active, so both amps receive the signal simultaneously. I would be using only one amplifier at any one time, but I'm...

I've been looking to get an IEM to complement my collection of sound equipment, but all those I've had so far are really on the warm end of the spectrum: 1more triple driver, Westone UM-1, Blon BL-03. The Westone is the least bassy of those, but the bass is still stronger than I like. Is there...

Hey, guys. The time is coming for me to get a new set of cans, something for home use to complement the AFO. The DAC/AMP I'm using is the Aune S6. I'm looking for something open, more natural sounding but not too bright. So far I've put my sights on Hifiman Ananda and Focal Clear, but maybe you...

I am crazy impressed with how helpful MrSpeakers customer support is. After I had to have my pair of Aeon Flows replaced, the local distributor in my country neglected to return the black tuning pads with the new pair. I wrote to MrSpeakers to ask if it would be possible to receive a pair of...

So, since I'm hitting a round 40 next year I've decided to treat myself to some nice planars then, and browsing the net I thought that the Ananda could be a good candidate. However, I'm also seeing quite a few complaints about the bad quality of their products: headphones falling apart, drivers...
