Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
It's not my intention to speak for anyone so one of them sees I'm wrong please correct me. But from what I understand mimic orders go in the same order as the direct orders, the primary benefit being you don't have to wait for direct drops on Fridays. Also Mimic has great support so you obv get...- admiralnorman

Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
Elevates the overall bass level without muddying the mids with a slight recess in sub-bass that is generally unnoticeable unless you're test track listening for it. It is similar for the TC and i personally carry both pads with me.- admiralnorman

Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
Most prog metal is severely bricked in mastering to the point that a more natural bass/midrange works better. The MR with vegan bass ported pads really shined for me. Source equipment will also make a difference here.- admiralnorman

Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
I was able to get a short demo yesterday. I posted my quick impressions in the Abyss Headphones Owner's Club in Telegram, so for anyone in there this is redundant: "I got to listen to three songs on the DZ, with a TC to switch back and forth to. Stack was a sagra DAC, Broadway amp, iPad...- admiralnorman

Diana: the second release by Abyss Headphones!
It's generally isolated to r/headphones. A large group there puts a heavy emphasis on price/performance and generally anything beyond a Quadlix 5k with an HD600 is severely scrutinized. It's not all like that though. Especially if you already have the equipment and are sharing well thought out...- admiralnorman

New Amp from HeadAmp - GS-X Mini
I have noticed that sometimes the noise measurements are done at like 90%, so there might be a reason to instead of turning to full to turn to 90%. So that is worth trying methinks. However i have tried that with the gs-x mini and i do not believe it to me an issue. even on very sensitive or...- admiralnorman

New Amp from HeadAmp - GS-X Mini
Some amps work best with a specific voltage or range of voltages, and DACs output that different ways on their volume pots. So when both devices have a pot there often a game of turning both at the same time to find the sweet spot. For a while i was using a Gustard A26 straight into the gs-x...- admiralnorman

ZMF Auteur Thread
I sent my auteur in for the classic upgrade and yeah i'd agree the bokeh and the classic compliment each other well. Especially since i've landed on the suede pads and solid mesh filter on the bokeh. But when switching to protein pads and no filter it gets a lot closer to the Auteur classic...- admiralnorman

Ah yeah, i've had Plex Lifetime since they launched as an option and primarily use it for movies/tv. So the cost is so sunk for me it's in the mariana trench. Plexamp ends up being just a fun bonus.- admiralnorman

Roger that and i figured as much from ZMF's sales perspective. I was wondering if any hobbyists have both, and are now grabbing their auteur way less because they have the bokeh.- admiralnorman
