So, an update. My Cascade got here today. Unfortunately, I took them out of the box, tried them on, and the earcups were too small for me (as was the headband). So they are going to have to (unfortunately) go back. Kinda sad, because I really wanted to hear these. So I guess the point is that if...

Awesome! Hopefully I'll be able to help. I'm kinda bad at using some of the terms people toss around here but know what I think sounds good! For reference, most of my prior listening is with an HD650 + Gustard H10/Opti-modi and a Beyer DT770+ OG Magni/Modi stack (that one is my work setup). I'm...

I literally just bought both the Cascade and a WA8. I may have something to share in a week or so.

Well, after a shitload of deliberation, I made a decision on a purchase. I have a pair of Cascades coming to me via 2 day shipping. I should have them by Friday :) However, as I'm a fan of multiple genres, I've also grabbed a pair of Aeon Flow Closed to fill the other side of the fence. I'll...

Yeah, it isn't an easy decision. I need to do some research on the Andromeda size wise -- I know that the K10 was too large for me, as was the iSine 20. Buuuuut that's another discussion for another thread. I think my desire to try the Cascade is what's pushing me. This thread is really selling...

That is super helpful, thanks! Yeah, I've pretty much decided I will have some combo of these four in my life, and was looking to, as you said, thin the herd. I realize they won't sound exactly the same due to one being larger and one being smaller, etc. But if they're shooting at a similar...

So, been reading through this whole thread and saw a couple of people touch on this. I'd love some help here making a decision. I'm planning to buy an Alo CDM as my new primary amp/dac for my primary setup (that I can take with me to listen to in hotels when I travel and for whne I'm at work)...

Hey all! So, a bit about what I'm looking for, and a decision I've been agonizing over. I'm looking for a setup that I can take with me to work daily, use around the house and take with me when I travel for work (every 6-8 weeks basically). My computer desktop setup is one I already love (HD650...

Got my order in. Sad that I didn't get in on this at 599, but everything I've heard says this is still a steal at 799. Looking forward to it!

My order was officially started on August 31. I got the email saying they were done on October 27. Pretty much 8 weeks exactly. If you have any questions, though, don't hesitate to email Brannan. Despite my insanity through the process, he was cool and helpful throughout. As for first listen...

It's possible that I ordered mine right before that started -- I ordered on 8/31.   I'm not too worried about it either way, the case seems solid enough to me.

Ahhhhh they're here. I of course have calls scheduled off and on this afternoon so I'm not listening (yet) but yeah. Some (crappy) unboxing pics from my iPhone:          And then one of the box just chilling on my desk, taunting me:

Guys they get here tomorrow. I've already paid the taxes (was around 36 bucks, not bad at all). I need to make sure I schedule some time to work on projects alone, and not be at my desk at work at the end of the day.   It feels like Christmas Eve. Can't wait for tomorrow...

Well, they're shipping to my work. So I'll be listening there for sure. What device depends on if i'm about to run off to a meeting or not. Direct to iPhone 6s plus or from a Macbook out to Oppo HA2 (my work comp, pretty much). There will be posts, though. I checked with UPS today and once it...

One more question. I've heard from some people that they have to pay duty when these arrive. Is that the case? If so, does anyone know what the rate is and the forms of payment accepted? I want to make sure I arrange everything here in advance, and have my checkbook with me at work if needed.  ...
