    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...

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

    Well, if they do carry the thing, not too sure that is to be trusted either. 😎 As always get many points of data and overtime understand the reviewer’s taste.

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

    The JPS Labs: Abyss AB-1266 Impressions Thread

    Wasn’t thinking like that. Agreed.

    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.

    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.

    ZMF Atrium Closed

    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...

    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.

    Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread

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

    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….

    Zähl HM1 - Reference Headphone Amplifier

    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.

    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...
