Do the thick pad preferrers use the mantle mesh? I found the thick pads too withdrawn in the upper mids while proudly present in the treble, giving me LCD-4 vibes. The stock pads flattened things out for me considerably. But I have mesh installed.

Hello, I am looking to sell my ALO Audio Reference 8 cable, complete in box with carry pouch. Price includes PayPal fees as per HeadFi standards but not shipping, which is only to North America. I am also more than happy to trade for a high quality mini XLR (Audeze, ZMF, Meze) to 4 pin XLR...

Any idea of the Bokeh pads sound good on Caldera? Funny side story - I went on a Caldera pad rolling spree on my former Susvara, and in the process, ended up with two pairs of Cowhide. I sold them all, acquired a Caldera, and now have no Cowhide pads. Eh, maybe it's not that funny.

Mine wasn't under warranty. I had to pay to ship it to them on my own, and they charged me for shipping on the way back. I mean, it is what it is.

I blew an op-amp in my out of warranty unit and they replaced it for like 43 bucks. Minus 200 bucks shipping in both directions LOL

Not sure if this counts, but mine came armed with thick pads and I prefer the stock pads. I felt the thick pads were perhaps a little to crispy in the treble and a little too withdrawn in the upper mids, whereas the stock pads sounded more aligned in that area to my ears.

Nothing but good experiences here! https://www.arcticcables.com/ac-store/Silver-Headphone-Cables-c159732288

It's great with the version 2 on low gain, slams very hard!

Why not try plugging in the side that's working to both sides one at a time?

The only time I've ever heard any noise or hiss is when I used very sensitive IEMs (lol). When you unplug your source, is it still hissing?

Got these to replace my HD280 headband which had a fit that was starting to bug me (once the stock headpads wore off): https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09299BMRX These are a lot shorter than the stock pads, but it covers the exact contact point with the headband and my head and nothing more. Width is...

Great buyer, immediate communication, honest and fair - would love to deal with again!

With this between the amp and sub: https://www.schiit.com/products/sys You have a one and done solution. If this is somehow more of a pain in the ass than two solutions, I will be shocked. However, as always, the choice is yours.

The idea there is that the HD600 has a very famously rolled off bass, and anybody hardcore enough to do this kind of thing would have a subwoofer with an LPF on it. Set the LPF and subwoofer volume to taste.

It's not a sub out, it's a preamp out. That preamp just so happens to be connected to a sub. It's on all the time. I don't think that's too bonkers. I swear I remember that "turn off the preamp when there's a headphone plugged in" circuitry had a negative impact on the signal path, but I might...

Yes, headphone mode doesn't defeat the preamp out. I think that makes sense, but anyway. A Schiit Sys between the pre out and subwoofer solves this. Probably a dozen other ways, too. I use a Sys to hop between the Ragnarok and my home theatre receiver as inputs for the sub.

Super thrilled! Amazing price, willing to make a deal, immediate shipment, great communication. Would definitely do business with again!

This is how I run my Susvara. I haven't tried any other amps, but it provides enough slam and all the detail I could ever want, while providing a not overly etched image.

Well I eagerly await my Utopia to arrive in the mail, I implore you to run oratory 1990 parametric EQ presets on the LCD 4! It will absolutely change everything

Looking to sell my Sony XBA-Z5 IEMs with a Sony MUC-M12SM1 Headphone Cable. This was Sony's Flagship at one point, and the last of the old USB key form factor of the EX1000. Great condition, cable was purchased new by myself, everything works great. No original box, tips, carrying case, or...

It's rare, but back with the HD600 was king (some say still is!), some hardcore folks actually augmented their HD600 with a subwoofer. Yep, two channels to the HD600, with LFE out to a dedicated subwoofer. I truly believe that every single one of us in this thread is also that hardcore.
