Nice, I used to listen to primarily rap, mainly more edm/pop lately for some reason. Glass animals has been a recent fave, been listening to them a lot.
J Cole, Kendrick, Biggie, Jay Z, Nas are my top 5 fave rappers off top of my head. I also followed a lot of battle rap back in the day.
Check out the Arsonal vs Brizz Rawsteen battle if you are into that. Crazy stuff, one of my favorite battles of all time.
I see you have both the Wa33 Elite and the 3 ES Elite ( for electrostatics). That is awesome! I have a question. Do you use one DAC to drive the WA33 and then connect the preamp out of the WA33 to drive the 3ES? I am still working my way toward the WA33, but was curious how to also connect a 3ES even further down the road. Tks.
I go DAVE to WA33 and then switch the cables around and go DAVE to 3ES. I don't use the WA33 as as preamp for the 3ES, because I feel it is overkill. I do use the WA33 and the 3ES as a preamp for my HSA-1b and SR1as (I prefer the 3ES and the 300B tubes though)

That’s the reason I have been hesitant to upgrade to the TC from the OG, scared to misc the huge bass and musicality.
An excellent headphone with the Formula S.
It can be done without switching cables on the Chord DAVE. You put the wa33 with the XLR interconnects and the 3ES with the rca interconnects (or vis versa). I’ve been meaning to do that actually…just need to buy the rca cables.
Interesting, but it would be even more interesting if you identify components of the chain in which the experimentations and rankings took place. Reason? The way any headphone sounds depends on its synergy with the components of the chain in which it is performing. In that sense, ranking three headphones as if each was performing separately, and in isolation without a chain could be misleading. There is also the legitimate question of your subjective preferences, both in choices of gear and listening repertoires, but we won't go there yet. Just a thought.

Those are surely some impressive looking sets of audio equipment, but my question is really about comparative synergies between the listed headphones and the need to identify the specific chains in the experiments which the OP was reporting on. Sorry if that was not clear.
Last weekend at AXPONA I was able to demo several 1266 models, and I was surprised by how much variation there was in the clamping force, even after making personal adjustments. My personal 1266 TC has a far stronger clamp than anything I demoed. Is there a trick to loosen them up?
The 1266 frames can be widened just by gently stretching them apart. You can bend the frames to widen or narrow. Just be careful. I recommend viewing the Abyss video’s on fit of the headphones. There should be links to the videos on the Abyss website.
