The machines weren't sure what the vegans tasted like, so chicken seemed like a good bet.

Anyone have any experience with MCTH with the Grace SDAC all in one? I'm thinking about dipping a toe into the tube world with my Eikon. Currently using a Jotunheim. I'd love to hear any thoughts or experiences you might have.

Hahaha. I wish the weeping was gentle...

Like@proffalkin I use a Jotunheim with my Eikon and it's lovely. The Milo is also phenomenal with the Eikon, as I had a chance to listen to that combo at RMAF a few weeks ago. You aren't going to be disappointed.

Yeah, I didn't get a huge amount of time or comparative listening done, but the bass on the Auteur was closer to the Eikon (to my ears) than the Atticus. All the usual "open-backed headphones at a show" disclaimers apply, so it may not be the best comparison for you, but it was what I was able...

Had a blast meeting the folks at AR (@AR-Voice ?), checking out their new planar as well as the upcoming IEM. Really, the IEM at a $250 price point should kill it. Made everything sound good, and came with added-value goodies (e.g. bluetooth as well as wired capability). Looking forward to...

Hi folks! The more I listen to the Eikon, the more I like it. Doesn't seem to matter what music I throw at it, I hear new things and enjoy the heck out of it. Whatever aspect of a song I listen to really pulls sharply into focus...just amazing. So impressive every time I listen! Given that...

This one is from the US based Amazon, might work if you can't find anything local: ZY HIFI Cable PAILICCS CABLE Balance headphone adapter cable (4-pin XLR feMale to 6.35 Male) ZY-006 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A2QJOJA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_RlWKzb6TQKB8Q

Finally getting a chance to post some quick thoughts on the Eikon and Atticus in padauk: The Eikon is perfect for my listening tastes out of a Jotunheim. Clean, clear, precise, and outrageously detailed, but never shrill, harsh, or uncomfortable on either the low or high end. Wow, Zach...

Hold on a moment there...not a joke. I ordered in mid-December also. Zach is doing the hard work of assembling a large number of orders, responding to queries on numerous sites, and answering emails. It's gotta be a lot for an operation that size. Add to that the padauk issues and it's...

I asked Zach about a month ago and he said they were still working it out but he would update folks when he had news. Hopefully we'll hear an update soon!

This! Hansotek, would you be interested in making some more of these? I have a feeling there's a market. :grin:

At least he knows how to fix them. :grin: Good to see he's making progress...was at about #100 and now down near #50. Really tempted to look for a tube amp but I can't justify the additional outlay until I hear how they do on my Jot...maybe a holiday gift this year? Thanks, everyone, for...

Could you be a little more specific? What are you hearing that's driving your concern? How much burn in time have you had? Are you using a balanced cable for the Eikon as well? I previously had an Hd6xx and have been looking forward to this upgrade, so I'd love to hear your thoughts and...

Definitely interested. Thanks for the consideration and opportunity!

Thanks for elaborating, that is generically what I was thinking, but the detail you provided is awesome!

That's fair, although I'd still imagine (regardless of headphone used) that you could get somewhat different performance at different temperatures. It could also make sense that as burn in occurs, and things see some physical change, that the amount of physical difference between "cold" and...

Interesting, felix3650, because I was wondering as a fellow engineer if the headphone internal temps might change significantly (enough) while playing, which would line up / support Zach's mechanical change theory. As the temps come up we might see a different sound signature, and as further...

Couldn't disagree more. You're obviously not serious about this hobby unless you get the $100k shipping. :grin:

ProfFalkin, whirlwind, mwhals, Thanks folks. I'm really wondering if anyone has been happy with a particular stand, as my experience has been that they are all compromised in height, stability, or potentially in adding wear to cans. Are there truly no good solutions out there? Seems odd for a...

What are folks doing for stands? These are going to be so gorgeous that I want to have them visible, but want to make sure they stay pristine as well. Thoughts? It's amazing that these are starting to ship out, can't wait for mine to arrive in a month or so!

Thanks Luke!  Just received mine today.  Looks lovely, sounds lovely, really like the mids on these!  Definitely understand what folks are saying about both the silky / liquid mids, the solid bass, and the slightly softened treble.  I need some more time, but I just wanted to hop on and say...

Red.  Definitely red.

Thanks Stillhart! Excited to hear folks' impressions as the first sets ship out. :grinning:

Hmmmm, for those of us with higher order numbers, perhaps the timing will end up fortuitous... What's the best way to let you know on that, zach915m? As I think about this more, I'm wondering if it makes sense to get differently terminated cables for the Eikon and Atticus so I have some options...
