THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION – Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related – a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.
This is not a simple question as I think you just found out. In 2 channel this has been bandied about for decades. There are also many dependencies that affect the answer which is why I feel his comment to you is a bit misleading. Anyway, assuming you are not already too board with the many...- Frankie D

The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

Not sure where this came from, but while I do like the Caldera, it is not better than the Susvara IMHO.- Frankie D

The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread
I think you may have misunderstood @Tchoupitoulas. You are essentially agreeing with him as he called the Sus and 1266 complimentary.- Frankie D

Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread
I will add that I tested the 3000T at CanJam with my Traillii and was not wowed by it. I felt my N8 BB in solidstate mode was superior. There were others who did like it though.- Frankie D

I wasn’t happy with the ending and other parts of Dune 2. They left key parts of the story out for some reason. For instance, his sister was already born and a few years old before the final battle. Also the tech from his family was never shown as taught to the Fremen. Anyway, still pretty...- Frankie D

Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread
@goldwerger had the 3000T for an audition and also has a Traillii. Can you please provide some insight as to what you thought of the 3000T and also what you thought of the combo with the Traillii ( good and or bad ). Tks.- Frankie D

It is noticeable, but still comfortable for me. To use all day? Not so sure.- Frankie D

Vintage OG and Present Day TOTL Impressions
Maybe. Personally I am wowed by them which is why they are my favorite HP. Obviously not perfect and I eventually would like an Immanis ( I have heard it ) among others….- Frankie D

Unfortunately I do not have an HPA-4 to test that for you. If you can get to the SoCal CanJam you can probably hear both for yourself. Obviously bring your HP if choice.- Frankie D

Zähl HM1 - Reference Headphone Amplifier
There are differences in amplifiers though typically not as great as some make them out to be. Obviously if you like a caramel colored tube sound, that will be very different from a more neutral amp which can be tube or solid state. I usually hear the biggest difference in the bass, but there...- Frankie D
