Reposted from another thread:

I'll type some brief impressions before Eiraku updates.

-Beyer dynamics most comfortable cans ever. Referring to the DT880/DT990. I love both of them much better than the ATs. They sound pretty balanced, not as bright as I had expected. Decent tonal texture and weight. Would love to have these for casual use. HD650's death clamp is like shitttt.

-AT lots of WoW factor. W1000K has a very rich tone. Feels like fine dining. Some midrange colorization though. AD2000 on the other hand is super easy to drive on the technical level, but subjectively too airy and light tonally for my tastes.

-I still prefer the sound of the HD650 over the big cans that were there that day but I could be only half right due to the less than ideal environment in CoffeeBean.

-IMO, most of you listen too loud

-I like Compass default setup. "Boring" and airy sounding, a bit bright but this is the "signature" you get from typical folded cascode amplifiers.

-Don't have much time with the many IEMs and Earbuds. Too many a variety!!!!

Agreed on the W10VTG (corrected, thanks kuman bro)... It's like sinfully rich chocolate, and I'm one idiot who likes my chocolate to be flavoured (and my sound a tad coloured)... biggrin.gif

And about the loudness - agreed here... For me it's a side effect of too much mobile music with low-isolation IEMs (blame the PR2)... sweat.gif

And somehow I've taken a liking to the Senn signature.

Toasting them now. First Impressions: They sound great musically, but lack fine detail. The SP1 on steroids thing is actually the closest thing to the truth that I can say, lol.

Plus, they feel quite well built... biggrin.gif

No problems here.

I'm aiming to cater for the IEM side of things other then taking care of the Pseudo-Can Jam thingy for next year.

Do continue talking about all things audio TT related here, will update FP accordingly!

I'm still out on me hols, so nothing can be done as of yet... Coming back KL tomorrow though... biggrin.gif

On a side note, got myself a Hippo Shroom... Great clarity and surprising punch on the low side, really. Wanted to get the Hippo VB and ended up coming back with the Shroom - tells ya how good it is, lol.

Definitely not for the hardcore basshead though, it punches low and hard but there's like zero midbass + bass quantity is not really abundant... So the bass might sound a bit, well, lacking... sweat.gif

Though it did replace me Eternas for now, lol... biggrin.gif

As tomorrow I'm waiting for the Dell guys to come patch up my lappy... (AND I'm actually still recovering), I'd say this Saturday?

So, where do you guys think is best for a TT? Good location, less noise - preferably a cafe... hmm.gif

Where are you based Sep? I'm going to be coming from Shah Alam, so the entire Klang Valley is pretty much game... biggrin.gif

Updating FP to feature the new TT... biggrin.gif
