E MU Teak

lots of buzz on headfi, but mostly fuzz

any one gotten their hands on a pair and would like to share some... well feed back?

 

A review comparing to the TH-X00: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/4jvznd/emu_teak_ebony_review_cf_thx00/

I own a pair of E-mu Teak (with Teak cups). I agree with what the above review says.

 

Any interest in having those E-mu Teak headphones measured by one of our SBAF measurbators? Inquiring minds and all....

 

I demoed a pair of TH-X00 with E-mu Teak Ebony cups, and my experiences matches up pretty closely with the review; they were just barely more V-shaped than the TH-X00 Ebony. Makes me wonder if the cups are the only difference between the two headphones and E-mu didn't do any additional tweaks on top of what they got from Fostex.

 

Check out the measurements between the teak & th-x00 on innerfidelity. They seem matched more closely than the channels on a pair of Beyerdynamics.

 

The Teak wood cups are what made this headphones special. Aesthetically the ebony may be more appealing but the Teak cups give the unique and pleasing sound signature one cannot get from any other Fostex variances.

If you can get the E-mu Teak, you get the Teak cups plus the option to buy the rosewood/ebony cups later. Plus there is no wait.

I knew the E-mu Teak would sound the best long before!

 

Tyll's review made me hope Massdrop does another drop.

 

Try emailing E-mu teak directly, I heard they can sell you the headphones at massdrop price.

 

*oops wrong thread*

 

Wish granted!

23/200 purchased as of this post.

 

Detachable cables finally! I've wanted to try these headphones ever since reading Tyll's review on them but couldn't justify $400+ on headphones without a detachable cable.

 

Teaks dropped again on Massdrop!

 

Another Teak drop is up and has been for several days. I decided to jump in on this drop although I will want to pick up some Dekoni pads in the future as I am not a big fan of the stock pads and will probably want an XLR cable to take the best advantage of my Jotunheim. The removable cable on this version is a nice bonus. The only downside? Shipment date is late July.

 

Need to stop missing these EMU Teak Drops... but the ZMF Eikon has my budget tied up this month lol,

 

It turns out I had a false alert for fraud on my credit card (all cleared up now) but it prevented the charge from going through on Massdrop and caused me to miss out on the E-Mu teak drop. Does anyone know if it's still valid to contact Chan directly and purchase them that way and what the best email address is to do that?

He may change a little more than Massdrop.

 

Thank you, I appreciate it.

 

Any amp recommendation for this E-mu Teak with a Modi Multibit as dac?
