    Campfire Audio - SuperMoon

    Sadly I never spent much time with the Equinox, but know the Atlas fairly well. The mids are indeed less scooped than those, and both Supermoon and Atlas have loads of sub-bass presence, over mid-bass punch. Both have good punch but focus more on body and warmth. Comparing my graph of the...

    Campfire Audio - SuperMoon

    What I will say is that they are not a true reference style tuning, in Campfire fashion they are slightly v-shaped but without the midrange sounding sucked out or hollow. Tonality is good and the soundstaging is truly excellent. They have a full and warm low end, crisp midrange and effortless...

    Campfire Audio - SuperMoon

    We may have got a sneaky universal demo set - my oh my these sound lovely :) being a M.O.T. I can't post much though.

    Xduoo Amplifiers

    Just fyi a socket saver is perfect for using 6080 valves in the TA-26 - brings them up to the right height

    Campfire Audio - Saber

    Nice take on the Saber, and as someone who listens to a lot of rock and metal you have got it spot on.

    Campfire Audio - Saber

    Much less bass, more sparkly and aggressive sounding - super snappy sounding - quite different signatures.

    Campfire Audio - Saber

    Mammoth is quite v-shaped, very hard hitting with good detail overall, Saber is more controlled and lean with less body but a more snappy presentation. Blues/electronic would be better on the OH500 - rock is more engaging on the Saber

    Campfire Audio - Saber

    Just FYI the OH500 are superb but quite natural and smooth sounding, lacking the energy and engagement of Grado's Not heard the Dunu - but I enjoy the Saber more just for general out and about listening, and would have the OH500 for more relaxed laid-back sessions.

    Campfire Audio - Saber

    Less bassy than Polaris and Mammoth - more in line with the Dorado as such, but with less body and overall impact. These are quite clean and crisp - not one of Campfire's more bass oriented models.

    Campfire Audio - Saber

    Same size roughly as the Satsuma/Honeydew so nice and comfortable

    Campfire Audio - Saber

    I'm mainly a metal/rock guy - but tested them with acoustic, EDM, symphonic metal etc... bit of everything and they worked well with pretty much everything I threw at them - EDM might not quite have the bass body that some will crave (Mammoth would satisfy those) but it had the timing and groove...

    Campfire Audio - Saber

    Well... I've been listening to our demo Saber for the past couple of days and I'm gonna buy a pair :ksc75smile: Don't expect bass canons, or an analytical sound - these are super engaging, snappy, energetic and fun - yes they are occasionally borderline sibilant, yet to me are fatigue free...

    Westone W80

    The Pro X series already moved to IPX (updated UM Pro range) - so it will be interesting to see if the W series also gets this connector

    Audeze LCD-5 Review, Measurements, Interview

    I personally think that unless you really want an electrostat system and sound, most people are going to be better off with the LCD-5. Both are superb headphones in their own right though.

    Audeze LCD-5 Review, Measurements, Interview

    Pretty much how I hear them to be fair - our demo pair have just arrived. They make the LCD-4's midrange sound comparatively muffled which is quite a feat - I think the biggest bonus is going to be the weight and comfort though.
