    Did someone strap the server to a seat-less chair and do some Dutch scratching - Casino Royale style?

    Ironic that the paired amplifier uses LM49600 op-amp based pre-made headphone amplifier chips. Probably sounds flat/lifeless.

    We had the Sonoma back when Bluebird Music was their distributor. The clamp on it was unreal and super tight and we had trouble with folks and the closed system approach.
    
    New strap headband looks better. High price tag though.

  Was thinking of what Zach would bring this fall: either planar again (from a dedicated driver) or closed be. Yeah, it turns out the latter!

    Surprisingly similar (expected more differences). ES just a bit warmer & darker.
