Odyssey Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Eric told me not to promote it too much . He can't handle lots of orders lol. So I should downplay this. Guys this is mediocre. Just cross it off your mind. 1
Bengineer Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 You have a tendancy to enjoy anything with tubes connected via a wire to anything with a Planar driver, wrapped in leather around your ears though Odyssey. Just saying 1
Odyssey Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 I do I do Ben. Imo a planar that needs some juice is best serve with a nice powerful transformer coupled SET tube amp, especially one that is priced low, sound good and made in Australia. Both Shin's KT77 and the 300b are very good when driving headphones and even speakers. I'll be testing out the 300b in my lounge with my speakers at lunch time. A pity I don't have my Beyer T1.2 anymore. That will sound great with these amps.
Odyssey Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 One of the solid state that I like for it's low price, good features and sound is the Taurus and it's still with me. Decided I won't let it go. At $1000 it's worth keeping. Pity I left it in Canberra. Could have test it out with this He6se v2.
ColdsnapBry Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 How things are now. Getting an exciting delivery in the next few weeks though (1+ month in transit so far...). 4
Bengineer Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Made myself a Empyrean cable. People say the Meze silver plated upgrade cable was well worth it, so figured why not. 4x22AWG, I think the Meze is 8x24 or maybe 26. Not 100% sure. Super lightweight. Pretty. Flexible. Not too old. Just how @BlueOceanBoy .... never mind. Edited March 23, 2021 by Bengineer 5 1 3

Very nice lighting, did you use a flash for that? Note: I am asking seriously, not pulling your leg. As I also used to be all into dslr/photography as a hobby before. Edited March 23, 2021 by bruc3

I had a cheap lightbox I was about to throw out and then realised instead of taking snaps for people on my cupboard, lightbox would give more uniform results. Need to find a real matte black uniform crease free backing I think. @Huckles Where I get something like that? 1 1

Bengineer Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Thanks boss. It missed out on a Furutech 4pin XLR because I don't have any left. People keep opting for them and been a shortage. More next week I think. Eying off some sort of either pure copper or silver plated litz. Just felt like working with normal wire is too easy, why not make it harder.
Yetiman Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 There is a guy selling them on ebay .. FURUTECH FP-701M XLR CONNECTOR (MALE) | eBay

Kaynin Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Many years ago, as a result of my head-fi journey, I said I'd never get closed cans again. Then, a couple of years ago I heard some Mezze Classics 99 at the hi-fi show, and loved them. Picked some up today, in replacement for some more monitor style cans I was previously using. These are for PC use only, so not part of my dedicated set-up. Very simply just internet/YouTube/Spotify use. I must admit, their timbre and tonality is right up my alley. Nice and comfy too, although time will truly tell on that one. 3
