        I imagine it's simply bots, perhaps they target any site above a certain traffic threshold. Also the higher volume possibly indicates they've figured out how to bypass some anti-spam protection.

        A friend of mine got their ribbon headphone. I find it interesting that they're trying to get into these other markets.

        It's not actually a ribbon headphone, that's marketing bullshit. It's a planar magnetic headphone with very low impedance. It is a driver with a membrane with traces and bar magnets. It's probably very similar to all their other drivers. Calling it a ribbon headphone because it has similar impedance to ribbon drivers is the stupidest marketing gimmick ive ever heard of. I still ant one though...

        Seriously just ask Marv. What was the title of the AF?

        Craig said he made it for people "who knew exactly what the f**k they doing"

        That XLR to TRS "SBAF pro tip" was buried so an idiot wouldn't take it and plug it into another amp and watch the poof of magic smoke...

        Use an XLR to TRS adapter (reverse from regular). Just never use this adapter on any other amp.

        If you like the Clear, very good chance you'll like the Utopia more. Something about the Utopia driver just sounds better than the lower-end Focal drivers, and I don't mean just technicalities. The "metallic timbre" thing is so overstated.

        @ChaChaRealSmooth do you seeing yourself using VO or Utopia more. For my library thinking the VO works better, but where the Utopia shines, it really shines no competition.

        @dncnexus I'm prone to wild mood swings and random fits of choosing a can, so it probably roughly averages to equal use among all my headphones that I own. That being said, Utopia and Verite are definitely complementary cans.

        @nishan99 yeah, I will shuffle, and it decides to play the song at the top of the playlist, and as i click next, it will shuffle through all the songs that are in the window and never any anywhere else. I have 3K+ songs to shuffle and listen to 50 max.

        Dislikes are usually given because the post doesn't add information (or something useful) to the thread topic.

        And more rarely because of disagreement with a point. And sometimes because butthurt.

        Don't worry about it. And read the welcome forums.

        Another point that hasn't been mentioned yet, more resolving and revealing audio equipment sometimes makes favorite songs sound awful. Case in point, I like early Taylor Swift songs (judge away) but find them painful to listen to on my desktop headphone setup because of the distortion and compression.

        Also, I've found Dubstep, Trance, and other electronic music sounds better, to me, on my less resolving closed backed Maddog pros than my modified open DT880s. I personally find my mid-range headphones work best for certain types of music and not others. YMMV since you have higher end gear.
