Now that Impact Audio seems to be done, any suggestions for quality affordable cables, using Eidolic connectors?
Headphonelounge has cheap cables & a super fast build time. He can order Eidolic connectors if he doesn't have them in stock.
I picked up an LQI cable for my 5LE when I couldn’t get through to Impact... a little higher priced but great flexibility and feel, no noise. Not sure on connectors though.
Impact Audio is out of business? I’m sad to hear that. My Andromeda cable is from them and it’s been great.
https://imgur.com/a/iwjCiaz It would appear that the Hifiman Arya, was originally called the HE1000X? So....a 4th HE1000. Lol.
If Abyss ever releases a headphone not designed for people with square heads that costs less than $2k then color me intrigued
https://abyss-headphones.com/products/abyss-diana-phi "Also to clear up confusion on the naming/drivers, the current Diana uses the same tech as the AB-1266 Phi, but it's not the exact same driver, different materials, etc. This new Diana Phi has the same drivers as in the AB-1266 Phi CC, sans a few millimeters to make it fit."
Sadly I don't have the original HE6 here, so I won't be able to offer any comments on how they compare sonically. Be they the exact same, or different :(
Well, "going to hear the DAVE tomorrow" has turned into "going to pick up the DAVE and bring it home tomorrow."
Tried:too many to list Owned:Mojo, Concero HD, Perfectwave MK2, iDSD BL, Aqua La Voce S2, hmmmm I think thats it.
Thats a lot of coin for an upsampler. However, I'd love to hear it, and the difference it supposedly makes to the DAVE or H2 (or HTT2 this fall.) Look cool too, IMO.
The name is crappy, I like the aesthetic, holy fucknuggets that pricetag. I am curious how it'd affect the sound of their DACs, but at the same time am thankful that I'll likely never be in a position to consider one.
Tried the Blu2 once with a Dave. Improves the resolution and transparency, but also increases the upper treble. Notes feel more decompressed. But I’d rather buy an expensive tube amp for that money.

I hope this at least lets some more people enjoy them, as they do sound great. Add in a discount if you can find one, and I could see these down around Vega/Andro pricing.
Hey guys, I would normally never post one of my ads here, as I'm not a friend. I'm trying to find someone who wouldn't normally be able.....
to afford a pair of these cans to get some enjoyment out of them. I hope its ok to post this on my status, if not, mods, please delete, and I apologise. Thanks guys! https://www.head-fi.org/threads/abyss-ab-1266-phi-for-sale.883119/
Hey man, they sold really quickly. Sorry :( If you have a pair of HE4XX I'd be interested in buying them from you! But apart from that, not looking to buy anything else atm.

I don't think Amir is nwavguy, I always though nwavguy was at least somewhat more respectable. But you neve know.
Both Amir and NWAVGuy seem to have a habit of accusing Head-fi of protecting their sponsors. Now I feel bad recommending a Behringer because of Amir. It probably sounds like shit
Is there anyone with soldering knowledge out there who could help me with a cable project, as in I send you parts and you put it together?
You are unlikely to burn the house down, as long as you don't use a propane torch. You may melt some parts, waste a few inches of cable, and, most likely, burn yourself, But not the house. remember: immediately dunk finger, etc. in iced water.
I've soldered many amps and speakers. But I haven't done cables(yet), otherwise I would have offered my services. If my inexperience in this particular domain is fine with you then let me know.
I made one cable. I spent about 30 min trying to get the Paracord sleeve on. When I finally did and was soldering the connector, I accidentally let the cord rest on the soldering iron, melting the sleeving I just completed.
Well if you are ever in Vancouver let me know. Happy to let you come have a listen. Though I would recommend www.headphonebar.com over my house as they have a plethora of headphones to try, including the Susvara.
I'm so pissed at myself for selling these Tannoys (for too low a price as well)...https://imgur.com/8Zf3mpJ Really excellent monitors :(
For anyone wanting to use AU's (Your own EQ etc...) with Spotify, Tiday, etc. try this. http://freyplayer.com/
Note to self: Don't go to LA and get 51/50'd cause you took too many anti anxiety meds on the plane. Now in San Diego with my brother.
Be well, ask for and accept all the support you need. Depending on the meds, you'll be withdrawing for another two months or so as the neuron receptor sites in your brain up-regulate. Also, I will take your advice and not go to L.A., 'tis a silly place.
Thanks Kunlun. I'm not stopping my regular meds, so no more withdrawal. I just didn't have them for a couple days so things got a bit hairy. Thank you again.
Doing some A/B'ing with the LCDi4 and Vega. Vega is holding its own. LCDi4 is the better of the two. However, isolation on the Vega is great
