The Sennheiser HE1 and how I came back after 16 years hiatus from Headfi (acquisition, unboxing, installation, and impressions over time)

Spirit Torino Valkyria
The Valkyria is certainly polarizing. People either love it or hate it. But don't pick your side too early. The first two weeks I owned mine, I also thought I was going to return it. I kept thinking this is not nearly what I thought I heard and loved at CanJam. But then it just totally...- Hiker816

RAAL 1995 Immanis

RAAL 1995 Immanis

RAAL 1995 Immanis
I also love the variety that different headphone styles and tunings bring and would hate having everything tuned to Harman. And I eschew EQ when I can. But designers are also working with physics. They may not always be able to tune a HP to sound exactly as they would prefer in an ideal...- Hiker816

RAAL 1995 Immanis
I haven't heard the Immanis on the Envy, but the HSA-1b direct drive has great synergy with the Immanis. I was surprised.- Hiker816

RAAL 1995 Immanis
Hey everyone! Just a reminder that you don't have to rely on comparisons from joe schmo (me, I'm talking about me), since there's an opportunity to demo both the Immanis and Magna yourself. We have our local Denver meet on June 22, and we're going to have a pretty epic lineup of summit-fi gear...- Hiker816
