New Focal Utopia for 2022: impressions
Lol. Let's say there are two restaurants in town and one of those restaurants is affordable and the other one is very expensive. If the affordable restaurant has very little negative reviews but the expensive restaurant has a number of negative reviews, then that tells you one should be...- devilboy

New Focal Utopia for 2022: impressions
There is obviously a buzz about issues regarding reliability for the $4,000 Focal headphone. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't necessarily know of a buzz on the internet regarding reliability issues of the $600 Sennheiser.- devilboy

Understood. Also, keep in mind that if the failure rate for a $600 Sennheiser is lower than the failure rate of a $4,000 Focal, then that is really, really not good.- devilboy

Once again, considering the resources and depth of pockets Focal has, their failure rate should be less. Just my 2 cents.- devilboy

Really? I would bet serious money that the overall failure percentage for a headphone that has been around forever such as a Sennheiser HD6XX is FAR less then the failure percentage for all of the Utopias that have been produced so far.- devilboy

It's unbelievable with the resources that a company like Focal has that there are reliability issues. Completely unacceptable.- devilboy

"Compared to Lavricables, sorry no contest - you'll grasp the difference immediate when you feel/hear the Pallas." That's a bold statement bud. Lavri Grand 8 core silver ain't no joke...- devilboy

Arctic Cables Discussion Thread
After emails with Roy, it looks like I'm going the Pallas route for my HEK Stealth and I'm very excited. Has anyone any experience with Arctic cables and the HEK series? I'm thinking the silver/copper combo will give my the best of both worlds. If it's close to the Lavri (or better, obviously)...- devilboy

Arctic Cables Discussion Thread
Hello all. Because I moved my equipment rack I am now in need of a 10 ft (3 m) headphone cable. I absolutely love my Lavri Grand 8 core silver cables for my HEK Stealth but in the new setup they are too short. I'm thinking about getting either the Vector silver or the Argento hybrid in 3 meters...- devilboy

Here: https://herbiesaudiolab.com/collections/component-isolation/products/supersonic-stabilizer It has some RFI eliminating features but it's also for extra mass to increase the efficiency of his footers. Probably all mumbo jumbo but I bought them years ago and I just put them on my...- devilboy
