How’s the Vali 3? I used to have a Vali 2+ and tbh I loved it. With the right tube it can have much better depth and staging compared to the Magni. Feeding my SR80e with a Nitsch Piety in high gain (using a D30 Pro in preamp mode to reduce the volume to use the pot better on the Piety lol. It’s been great)
And this is exact the reason, why I have sold my Meze Elite again. My GS1000i sounds much more forward and transparent with much better dynamics. With a good tube amp a dream!
I just go these sockets in the picture and plan to do a mod like you did to use with this Meze cable Here, can you please help on the wiring diagram?After 2 days with the Rs-x1 the cable got to me
But I did not fancy ungluing the driver on 2 day old £750 headphone
So I have put inline 3.5mm 3 pole female socket
I also took apart the old cable from my 325x
basically the 2 reds(+)left side run straight from the plug via the Y connector to the driver
also the two white right side (+) run straight from the plug via the Y connector to the driver
The 4 blue cables all got to the Y splitter and are joined together then a pair go to each driver
This is only a temp mod unit I have plucked up courage to fit sockets into the shell
I have the SR225x's and enjoy them. I had read where the 325x's were too bright so that's why I didn't go with them.
I just really love the SR80e sound. Anything similar to it but an upgrade of it would be nice. Maybe sr325e if I could find it? Or sr225x. Hard to pick between all these options because some people love the e series and some like the x series updates. And some resent the x series updates. Funds are a bit limited so I’d like to make a proper choice for now haha
Having heard so many good things about the 225e, I just picked one up in terrific condition for very little money (I actually think I scrolled by another for even less in the classifieds earlier,) and I instantly love it -- of course the "instantly" is probably because it's already broken in, but so what, if you find one that's been used less, that's easily done, and I plan to clock some hours on it through my computer in my study when I'm not in there. I have other models from hemps to 3000Xs, this one's for walking around in the world and if something happens to it, etc. I haven't heard anything in the X series except the 3000, I no longer have my previous generation 60s, 80s, and 325s, but I don't remember them being this good and considering what I've been listening to lately that's saying something, but I'm still pretty useless about comparisons. Bottom line, this is far and away the best $150 I've ever spent on a pair of cans -- and I might have overpaid, and I don't care
Definitely special.
What is it you'd like upgraded--and why being you "really love the SR80e sound"?
