    I’m going to agree with gLer. It sounds too tight and you may need to get it refit. I had to send mine back because there were two spots in one of my ear that I felt the most pressure. I took pictures and circled the areas and then sent it back. Once I got them back after the refitting, it...

    HiFiMan Susvara

    Aside from the Stax speed, I also preferred the Susvara. I loved the look of the X9000, but sonically they really didn’t impress me enough.

    HiFiMan Susvara

    I’ve also heard others say x or y headphone dethrone the Susvara, but ultimately come back to them. It possibly could, but I think there’s going to be a place for both/all, as there always seems to be. I am genuinely eager to hear the Immanis though.

    It took me two tries for my impressions, too. I questioned the Audiologist on the first one, but he insisted it’d be okay. Congrats, though! My A12t is still going strong!

    Elysian Annihilator 2023

    It’s early still, since I’ve not got too much time with it yet. Initial impressions are very, very good. So far the mids and the bass seem a bit more full sounding. Midbass hits harder, too. The sound top to bottom seems to have more control and grip. Sound stage also appears larger with a...

    Ferrum OOR - headphone amplifier with a soul ?

    It’s an improvement, but how much is relative. I think it’s a big enough upgrade, but… diminishing returns is a thing, for sure. You might be to pick up a used one in the classifieds here. They end up showing up here and there.

    Elysian Annihilator 2023

    I made the mistake of getting my Fusion 1 cable with the standard Con X set (2-pin and mmcx) for my Annihilator, so I had order the Pentaconn connector directly from Effect Audio and it FINALLY arrived today! lol Rookie mistake. Oops. It kept being delayed from EA directly (not their fault...

    Ferrum OOR - headphone amplifier with a soul ?

    I briefly tried it long ago, but I will say that you can run the Oor without the Hypsos, especially if you want to save money, but I would save up and add it later if you can.

    Definitely understand that. While I’ve been interested in one for 5-6 months, it’s a relatively mild interest and I’m not ready to pay more than retail for them. Hopefully they’ll become more readily available once the normal release finally drops. I think I can wait until then, though I’m...

    Haha, understandable. So, back to my original question, anyone selling theirs?

    All this talk on the Storm, anyone have one for sale??? haha Is there an ETA on the normal edition one’s release? I thought it was soon…

    ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship

    Right after posting that, I had to grab mine and start to listen to them!

    ZMF Atrium - new open-back co-flagship

    I can understand your worry. I am not a bass head myself and I was worried about the sub bass rolloff myself. I’m so used to the linearity of planars, like the Susvara. It was one of the biggest reasons why I held off for so long on the Atriums. Once I got them, I can say that I don’t really...

    Hahahaha I loved that scene when I watched it last night. When they just showed up in the car and the mob were just slack-jawed, I legit giggled! The whole fight leading up to that, too, was awesome. Landlady and her husband were so good. I also laughed so hard at the scene with the...

    @Rockwell75 I watched Kung Fu Hustle again in honor of your profile picture. Wife was away at a girls movie night, so perfect time! Movie is legit funnier than I even remember from my last viewing maybe 4-5 years ago. Such a freakin’ fun movie! Can’t believe the movie is now 20 years old...

    Of course it would be a better buy, but I’m pretty sure that you wouldn’t get the same quality, build quality, or same sound if they made it 1/3rd the price. The Liquid Links Martini cable alone is 1/3rd of what you are wanting to price it at.

    Elysian Annihilator 2023

    I’m also curious about how deep nozzle insertion people have for IEMs and specifically for the Annihilator. With the Velvet, I’m using the largest size tip and it’s not being inserted very deep. I’ve ordered some of the Azla Sedna Short, curious if I should also try the Sedna light short, too…

    Holo Audio May DAC Speculation

    Still enamored by the Holo May some months later. Love the sound it provides and it’s price/performance as Koji points out is outstanding.

    Elysian Annihilator 2023

    Interesting. I have yet to try a few of the ones you’ve tested, but the Velvet and what you describe are exactly what I am enjoying. It balances out the sound a bit more. It reigns in the treble just a touch, it calms a bit of the bloat, but retains the impact, in the bass, adding to the mids...

    My personal credo: 1) Measurements and frequency responses give me a general idea of what to expect, but do not tell me the whole story. It can tell me the general sound signature, it also tell me if I might want to be careful (not necessarily outright avoid) due to my own personal HRTF, like...

    Elysian Annihilator 2023

    I tried the Spinfit Omni and didn’t like the feel of them. It’s too grippy for my taste. I also have tried the Divinus Velvet and I really, really like the feel. I do like the sound I get with them, as well. They work extremely well for my ears. Previously the Spinfit CP145 were my go-to...
