2 Loki? Are they both in the signal path?

About the same ballpark as going from a Gungnir to Yggdrasil to me. Except WL and Pavane L3 were a little more resolving than Yggdrasil in their particular ballpark.

I don’t feel like anything is lacking but resolution. I love the tone of the Gungnir A1. But I’ve got some very resolving transducers now and just feel like they could convey more information which would be thrilling.

Wait for the Gungnir upgrade.

I agree with @Cellist88...it is as good as a $99 SS amp can be. Amazing performance for how small.

I’ve heard solid state amps with better technicalities but I’ve never heard a solid state amp with such perfect tonality. And it’s technicalities are not far behind. I think people are just lost in perceived clarity and don’t hear how greet this amp is.

All of you are right, but it would be a rip off.

Did you ask for 15 of them to see how many are grade A?

Damnit I forgot to check that box on the order!

Same reason why most people think SS amps are more resolving, the fast and etched sound is good at faking texture.

For IEMs I think it's the single driver things that would be the hope, single dynamics or orthos.

Why is it discontinued? And does MJ1 sound better than 2-3?

MJ2 was recently discontinued due to parts shortages. Debate still ongoing between MJ1 and MJ2. I do know there had to be some compromises and workarounds to incorporate tubes into MJ2.

Bad move adding tubes. An Uber Magni 3+ would be such a great amp.

It is a bummer that it costs a quarter of the total headphone price just to replace the pads on a 6XX.

Drop's selling a bunch of replacement pads for the HD6XX and 58X: https://drop.com/buy/drop-earpads-for-hd6xx-and-hd58x

At first I thought they were the Dekoni ones (velour, hybrid velour, sheepskin, defenestrated sheep's skin) but the manufacturer doesn't seem to be identified (I'm not interested enough to trawl through all the reviews or discussion posts for them).

The construction looks like 100% Dekoni to me. Their velour pads have a two-piece stitched construction that is folded over and hand glued onto a plastic frame, which unfortunately is a major design flaw. The velour fabric pulls off the frame exposing the foam. Dekoni has sent me a new pair but the second pair failed the same way.

Where's the fun in that?

People won't suspect and run away.

You can close enough to engage strangers with a long tirade about how great your anti-radiation hat is and they need one too.

Even if you’re stealthy, we will know you’re a lunatic.

At least 2021 ones come with newer pads (different foam, different surface, different dimension). No idea if they changed internal structures. Maybe not.

Audeze is imo the riskiest choice in buying used. Nobody can confirm with confidence.

Yes I’ve bought some of the new pads and they’re a significant upgrade from the older ones. I’m considering posting about it. Everyone should upgrade.

Perhaps they’re done recycling LCD-3 grills https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/10049488.jpeg

Always just thought it was called "acoustically transparent fabric/cloth" but pantyhose sounds about right.

The fabric/cloth is very thick. Not transparent.

@crenca That is Raising Arizona! One of my favorite movies. I'm now flush with internet bucks, sweet! But I'll still take those Huggies and all the cash you got...

You better just shake hands now! It's not a request...

I'm looking at this one now that starts off talking about a guy named John who's having a 'Monday' kind of Thursday but actually John is a workaholic, so this is good. Later, I *think* it's trying to teach me how to apologize. Words like "PHRASE" and "INTERJECTION" keep showing up in caps. Gaslighting me like an alcoholic stepmom, tryna make me feel like I need to apologize for something. It's great.

@rhythmdevils Language gap - you actually signed up for the headphone pads SUBSCRIPTION

:) I'd honestly like to see him try, as I have only ever done 8 wires into full sized connectors. But with how much business he does, I could completely understand him not having the time to mess around with it.

"wtyk kątowy 3,5mm" should be the right phrase

Thank you @Kashalott ! I can’t find one that is likely to fit the T50rp. But that phrase worked.

My phone autocorrects dog to either dig or fig. At no point in my life have I wanted to discuss the AKC Fig competition or my great weekend dig handling.

no problems with dumbass autocorrects over-emphasizing corporations on Android.

First thing to do with a new phone: teach it obscenities. Saves everybody time in the long run.

I think the reality is that a lot of music gets hype these days because (young) people find the singer relatable. Clairo, Soccer Mommy, Snail Mail, Phoebe Bridgers, etc.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but it more has to do with the personality and personal reactions to music then the actual music sometimes. Eh I mean, as long as people are enjoying themselves.

Nice, but... Nope. She isn't dragging me away from Joni Mitchell.

I love songs with good lyrics. Music and poetry, hand in hand. And good lyrics often stand alone /as/ poetry.

But I spend a lot of time listening to songs in languages I don't understand at all.
