Wow, that is glowing! Best headphone in the world, huh?

True! I realize it’s still years off, but the prospect of a multi-ribbon follow up to the SR-1b is pretty tantalizing.

God I hope I make it into the first batch. I'm dying for this thing.

I needed it wide- that's the whole reason I bought it. I am a soundstage whore.

I have extremely mixed feelings about the SR1A/SR1B, but my experience with it has nonetheless convinced me that Immanis is the headphone for me. The soundstage and general speaker-like presentation of it, the pin-point imaging, and the extreme level of midrange and treble detail are all the...

So I don't have the HEKSE, but I do have the pre-stealth HEKV2, and to me, that one actually has a wider soundstage than Susvara. Susvara beats it on depth and general soundstage quality, but the V2 feels pretty clearly wider to me.

Everyone’s just waiting for that call/text from Danny…

I was thinking the same thing, but the potential for regret is dangerously high. I wouldn't sell my Sus unless I was 1000% sure I was replacing it with something better.

I heard the Audivina at CanJam NY '22. It did have a decently sized soundstage for a closed-back, though not Susvara or Arya-width. The tonality was a bit weird, though. Kind of hollow and congested sounding.

Heh, I don't think I have the patience to wait until CanJam Dallas this year.

Good to know I should hold on to my Susvara, I guess. The real Sophie’s Choice is between whatever this ends up being and Immanis.

So is your theory just a theory or is it based on something? Haha just saw your edit. Sorry.

That would be hilarious considering Hifiman’s track record with closed-backs.

I’ll reserve judgment until I get my D7000 back from Japan.
