That's normal, wouldn't worry about that. He always waits till the time when he makes it, depends how many are in line, sometimes it's quicker. I don't think he can remember or keep up with the many custom details unless he makes it that same day, I don't know who could. Usually it's about a...- phoneslave86

I enjoy those aplenty on my 2^5 cut-out. Different focus, the most revealing sound in the mids and upper I've ever seen. The 2^5 at 'detailed' is actually deeper than my very detailed open backs were with these pads on quite a bit of content. Square still better overall to me but these are just...- phoneslave86

Ultimate cable = OCC copper with nice flowing dialectics, gold connector which is neutral. Real high flow designs with OCC copper is brighter, but this is a positive attribute to me and part of hifi. The full spectrum of sound requires brightness where it is and many other special effects. I see...- phoneslave86

32 Ohm Beryl is more transparent than 64 Ohm. Both are plenty good.- phoneslave86

For under 1k iBasso DX260 is really good. Brand new tech, I am breaking mine in, can't wait to see it's full potential, it is very good for this price. Imaging is really good for this price point, and this is XTC strong point it goes together nicely. I also got my DX320 with 2 amplifiers, one is...- phoneslave86

Just finished this system a couple of months ago. It's been nice enjoying it and not working on it so much. Endless plans in the future. This hobby never ends.- phoneslave86

Just changing the circuits they are plugged in to so the ground arn't connected. The ground loops from where the ground in the power cable is plugged in and also the interconnect end can cause the loop. Breaking up the loop on either end can work- phoneslave86

It's unlikely to do anything for buzz/hum with any amp, it didn't do anything for mine and I tested it a bunch. It can suck out some ground noise in equipment in cases that have noise. The original recommended tubes for a tube amp help make the tube amp more resilient to hum/buzz. Separating the... -

Audiophile optical can make a large difference in a revealing system for sure just like the rest of cables. Thankfully I'm not stuck with optical though. I think optical is on all devices because it breaks up ground loops and doesn't pass high frequency noise, good in those scenarios. If your...- phoneslave86

Coax can be better than optical and vice versa. For me Supernova 7 optical beat regular amazon optical. Aliexpress Odin 2 Coax beat amazon optical. Supernova 7 optical beat odin 2 Coax. Audio Envy and Atlas Ascent Ultra Coax beat those. I would bet on higher end Coax winning out and it's what...- phoneslave86

Yea I felt like these arn't too bad for some reason and I'd expect it to be worse. The only headphones I don't notice if I wear them all day long is the open backs, wow those things are lightweight, just a feather.- phoneslave86
