Good input. You've got the experience with it all so I'm sure your take is better! I should try EQing the Susvara and see what it does for me.

I'll have to watch. Seeing this brought Spinal Tap to mind (turning my volumne knob to 11 as I type this....)

So my two are Susvara and Utopia 2022. Overall I prefer the Susvara, but I wish I could combine the two and bring in elements of Utopia. Mainly a bit more midrange empahsis and a little more energy. My curiosity list includes the 1266 and Caldera. From the way people describe it maybe Caldera is...

Sorry, had to FIFY for accuracy sake, unless we bring some Def Leppard into play :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Maybe it's the music I am playing on it. I grew up in the 80s, and the Utopia plays the music more like I heard it for years, while the Susvara make its sound more laid back, which is not how I remember it sounding. Glam metal was not polite!

It's a Chris thing :). I'm enjoying Utopia with 80s - maybe sub-optimally - recorded music, where maybe a bit of non-neutral coloration helps the fun.

Hum. I'm the opposite. Susvara is more a mellow daily driver and Utopia has more midrange spice/energy.

The colors look cool. I like listening with the lights off. Do you know in advance what colors, if any, a tube will emit? In other words, are colors a spec?

Based on your name I assume you like to BBQ! What do you mean about standing over the stove? The all clad D3 heats up quicker but you have to watch it more so you do not burn, and since you stand over the stove you are always watching it.

Wow. Fantastic review. I couldn't add anything to what you captured. Really digging the Omnific btw!

Wow. Must have been a company that said "We can do better', and did. Are they less expensive?

Nice! How do you like made in vs all clad? Did you buy that for your house or professionally?

Wow! I would think the physics of a HP would be able to do more than an IEM, at least with sub bass. But I've never tried, and we are all different! I just got utopia to add the Susvara. Have you ever tried Susvara vs Utopia?

Heavenly, out of curiosity, why are you moving to IEMs?
