The hate on the aftermarket cables I understand since its reddit. The response from Abyss wasn't great.

The pic of the driver though, the title called it a Phi-TC which it wasn't. An Abyss employee chimed in remarking the driver looked damaged from tampering or exposure to extreme conditions.

Yeah, I get the cable hate due to the fact its reddit. However, 6 threads on one page dedicated to Abyss hate is something I haven't seen before. Pitchforks out, I suppose.

They hate everything super expensive. That place is worse than ASR.

I noticed it's a special Adorama version as marked on the box. Wonder what the changes are aside from the headband and frame... and if the drivers are the same.

Has anyone ever figured out what the relationship is, exactly, between HFM and Adorama? Why all the crazy versions? And why can they sell them so cheap?

Too bad it’s not the og HE6 I’m not sure about the new Hifiman se orthos

now, the video could be fake, but if its not, this just adds to the mystery of it all. Landing AT the airport? Why??? Is it a military test? Why endanger the planes in the landing pattern? So bizarre.

Damn, that is a nice color. 4.4 alone will have people buying it.

I used my iDSD Black Label so much it died (after 2.5 years), but while it was working it was one of the best pieces of gear I have used. It just ticks so many boxes. Seriously considering one of these.

I took against iFi on account of the dreadful marketing bullshit they used to do on Headfi. Anyway, that's long gone and I guess I've forgiven them now. Or forgotten, at least.

I still have the Alessandro Music MS-1 that I bought ages ago. But there's a reason it's not on my SBAF headphone listing. lol.

Speaking of Alessandro, I am quite surprised that their grado-based modding headphones are still in production even now. http://alessandro-products.com/headphones-2/

@insidious meme same reason I was quiet about the RS1 I had, haha. Feel happy that people are talking about them again, flavour cans as they are.

The mix and production is great, mastering is kinda meh, but its not too bad overall. Listening to necrophagist now to offset my guilty pleasure session lol.

@Lyander Smokin'

Haha, riding the meme that is this headphone, @DigMe. I don't mind what others do so long as not impinging but I try to keep away from smoking... anything.

Same

OG Verite I'm guessing?

yup!

Sigh I was hoping they ditched the aesthetics of LP :/

@tommytakis Spray paint and stencils.

Hopefully we will get one for the loaner program. I am very interested in testing it against my original liquid gold.

Price of fame and being a good product, people will want to rip it off. Can't say I'm surprised, but this is honestly sad for anyone who might've gotten ripped off.

Thing is they're apparently not entirely horrible (pending input from trusted ears), so might have been a good buy on their own merits if they didn't steal patented designs.

"I contacted the person who sold me the Andro and he confirmed that it was an OEM"

CFA OEM? Reading through that reddit thread and that Andro for $500 SG is super shady. If the price is too low, its too good to be true.

Holy Batman, they are really close in Phenotype. Several people saying the sound it’s close to the original. How can they do it?

Funny, so am I.

With what I'm hearing so far, I'm pretty much sure that is what is going to happen. Damn.

That Verite is pure evil. I've only heard it a couple of times & I can't stop thinking about it....enjoy your time with it, looking forward to your review!

I'm really enjoying both so far!

Also has a bit of a Grimes vibe to it. Really interesting stuff. Her other albums are great as well :)

Turns out, the dude selling it is a huge dick. Can't be bothered. Will figure out another solution. Damn shame.

replied to your PM thanks man :) Hoping to borrow something a bit more "desktopy" if that makes sense. With that being said, if that doesn't work out, I will defo give you a shout. Thank you again for the extremely kind offer.

I've got something and I'm Vancouver local. Sony UDA-1

Epic! Will PM!

Also *no bullshit.* We can agree to disagree on stuff. Call gear out for being shit, or not to our preference. Its just a nice place to be :) No I'm not drunk or high. Just feeling appreciative :)

Well, not being drunk is your problem. You should get on that... :)

Don't go nuts with the system for them. A Saga > Vidar off your DAVE would be fine and sound quite good.

Might pick up an older Adcom from craigslist if I can find one for cheap. One of the old Nelson Pass designed ones. They seem to go for $150-$200ish, so that would be great for now until I can save up again.
