    Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!

    Can anyone advise what the Bass Ported pads do to the Diana MRs? If it elevates the low frequencies without changing the sound characteristics elsewhere too much, then I might try pick up a set.

    Noble Audio - the Wizard returns!

    The Noble Mystiques have for a long time been my favourite TWS, the V-shaped sound is addictive as I listen to a lot of bass-driven music. I learnt about the Triumph today, If anyone is able to compare the two that would be awesome.

    Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!

    With the MRs I had them left in my basket for 24 hours and was sent a £300 discount code. No idea if its possible with the DZ.

    Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!

    Kinda annoying having only recently forked out for a MR, but such is life. It could still be that the MR suits my Hugo 2 source better given the preamble above, but here comes that FOMO feeling once again regardless. I am very pleased that the Diana range continues to evolve and look forward...

    Feliks Audio ENVY

    I note that Western Electric offer a 5 year warranty on their 300B tube pairs, that puts my mind at rest a great deal more than the Elrogs 1 year offering and in itself would sway me towards WE. Probably there is more to it than meets the eye though, and I have written to them to clarify a...

    Feliks Audio ENVY

    Considering picking up some used Elrogs for my Envy, but having read about the unreliability of the earlier earlier Elrog tubes is really got me on the fence with it. There would be no warranty, if they went wrong next week there would be no comeback which would be galling considering they are...

    Thanks, I did receive mine not long after I posted the message, all good :)

    Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!

    I bought my MR direct from Abyss on the 14th March, applied straight away for the 10 year warranty. Since then have not heard a single thing, have emailed twice to - warranty@abyss-headphones.com - with no reply at all. Its meant to take 2-4 weeks, has anyone been able to successfully claim...

    Feliks Audio ENVY

    Thanks for all the replies! I may well be at the mercy of the used market also as to what comes up but initial feeling is that I lean towards a warmer sound than a technical one, and the WE's could be a good option. I will be sure to do some research. I enjoy the Envy w/Full Music's a lot...

    Feliks Audio ENVY

    Hi chaps, never tube-rolled before and this is also my first tube amp so please forgive if this is an obvious question, but would a Western Electric 300B or Elrog 300B be a (notable) upgrade over the Full Music 300B I have in my performance Envy? If the consensus is 'yes' then I may well be in...

    HiFiMan Susvara

    Nope, just a regular 4-gang extension socket. All ears, if you are happy to provide a little info as this isn't an area I have considered at all.

    HiFiMan Susvara

    FWIW I went from a Bliss KTE to an Envy for my Susvara and have never looked back, I have owned many combinations of equipment and for me this is the best synergy I have been able to attain. Each time I sit down to listen, it feels like a special occasion, as it should do. I have the...

    HiFiMan Susvara

    Mirrors my experience over the last couple of days. I was curious as to what they would say if I requested the 2.5 sockets be replaced for 3.5 ones, nothing at all wrong with my Susvara but I much prefer 3.5 and it does give me a few options on used cables for sale here that are also 3.5. They...

    Arctic Cables Discussion Thread

    Thank you, great info! I am sensitive to treble sometimes and so probably would not want to elevate that, whilst at the same time I am one of those people whom can never have enough bass so I am thinking a copper or a hybrid might suit me better than a silver, happy to be corrected though. A...

    HiFiMan Susvara

    Thanks, you have answered one of the questions that just popped into my mind given that the 2.5mm is so fragile, especially also as I may need a 3m one.

    Yep, and they also just came back to me (very speedily) with a recommendation for the APERION option for my Susvara.

    HiFiMan Susvara

    Have been heading down the rabbit-hole looking for an aftermarket cable for my Susvara. Ordinarily, I would not bother with changing cables but the Susvara one is just so bad that I feel I have no choice in the matter, the way it 'pinches' at the XLR end its only a matter of time before the...

    Arctic Cables Discussion Thread

    Please can someone recommend me an AC cable for the Susvara, that will retain its warm, organic sound for use with a tube amp? Annoyingly, it looks like I will need to order in the longest 3m length due to my listening position. Price matters, but really I place more importance on obtaining...

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    I loved my Trifecta for 'fun' genres like rap, electronic, R&B, EDM. The main reason I sold mine was I just couldn't quite get a great fit with it. Potentially am considering dipping my toe back into the IEM game once more, the FeiWan is appealing to me a good deal it has to be said.

    Watching a movie just now, and feel like I cant really call myself an audiophile until I have listened to these bad-boys.

    That's exactly what I did, albeit unintentionally. A nice little surprise in the mail the following day :)

    Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!

    Recently I purchased a used MR set here on Head-Fi from a very good seller. I enjoyed this so much that when I was offered the same to purchase my set from me, I took that offer and straight away ordered a brand new one from Abyss with a 10 year warranty and a £300 discount via a promotional...

    That is very reassuring to hear. What would you say the C9 brings to the party in your setup over the H2 standalone?
