TRN V80 might be another choice, haven't heard or read about it's soundstage though. AliExpress has it for $20.- ekkstra

How far have you gone?
I'm pretty new here but I've been on/off this hobby a few years now. The total I've spent since I joined here are more than I have in the last few years put together. Since April, I've gotten two headphones, one DAC and AMP totalling $1400 compared to last few years of less than..$600. I know...- ekkstra

Massdrop x THX AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier - Impressions Thread
Yeah I've read frequently around that the SU-8 is a solid choice to pair with the 789, especially with the fixes that were made with version 2.

Tinnitus..............Do You Speak It ?
It's like the film 'Baby Driver (2017)'. The protagonist has tinnitus and uses music to drown it out, so yeah I'd say it's a partial cure. (I recommend the movie btw) I have tinnitus too, though I'm sure being in the military didn't help.- ekkstra

Lonely Feelings by Love Supreme For all you Black Mirror fans -
Elder Scrolls 6 hype?
Remember that they are also working on Starfield, a whole new game from their usual line up (Space RPG). Probably will show that in E3 more than ES6 this year. Not sure which of their studios is handling either one. Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim with mods should keep you busy until then.- ekkstra
