Which Azla tips did you try on the Monarch?

Hello. I hear the power output is better on single ended for Diablo 2. Is this the case on the Micro Signature as well or would I have to get balanced cables for all my headphones? And which has better dynamics? And what’s the max power output on Signature? Would it be able to comfortably...

Hello. I have a few questions regarding the Diablo 2 and Micro Signature? Which has better attack and dynamics? And can I get 2.3 watts on Signature through single ended? Or is balanced more powerful? Thank you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Thanks! By the way do you know how to turn off alerts from other threads? I keep getting notifications for Grado and really don’t want any more.

Is it powerful enough to get good dynamics out of the HD 650?

Hello. I’m a bit unfamiliar with Head-fi. Can someone direct me to a general discussions thread please?

Amps and dacs can bring a completely transformative experience to music. If you’re happy with your headphones just focus on the setup. For starters I’m a huge fan of weighty, warm sources like the Asgard 3. With a built in dac card it’s quite a steal, and good enough to make even the Bifrost...

Grados freaking rock!!! I love the hemp design and a few of my buddies really dig them with different pads. What are you all running them off of? I have a feeling they’d be awesome on class A/B amps or even tubes.

Very curious about the price. I was going to get the DX240 since people are raving about its dynamics. Wanting something warm and punchy, would it be better to wait for the DX320 to come out?

The Crack definitely has that.

Yeah, they have a unique synergy with Focal. The Elex and Utopia in particular. I also liked the Clears on it but the bass bumped up a little.

ROON parametric EQ my friend

Yeah at that price a Crack might be the better option. Very steep cost considering I paid $700 for the OG which barely sounds different.

Valhalla 2 is a very transparent tube amp. You could try something different like an Echo if you want to step up. Zach recommends it as an entry level OTL with his headphones.

Andrew Park has a wonderful breakdown on YouTube :)

I know the new XC is significantly brighter than the OG plus ROON has great EQ presets for it. The Jotunheim 2 and Bifrost 2 are awesome.

Btw new updated Aeolus pads are way better than the stock ones I got in 2020.

Ninja Audiophile Cables is my go to

He has a Bottlehead Crack :)

Very interesting. How does the Bottlehead Crack sound with ZMF headphones?

Thanks so much for the write up. I am hesitant to get the XC since some are saying it’s quite a bit brighter than the open back version. But I have wanted it for a long while now.

Very nice! How’s the treble with Jotunheim 2 and LCD-X?
