Thanks, I’ ll give JMC a go at it, been looking for a pretense to the relatively modest expense lately if I could shake that True-Fi-induced laziness as of late. True-Fi doesn’t do miracles with all headphones but with the Elear it’s nothing short of holiness. One of the staff at the Latvian company commented to me in an email that even they have rarely if ever encountered an audiophile-class phone that shouts “pimp me!” as loud as the Elear. Personally I have come across a few cans that responded well to frequency and gain tweaks but nothing so dramatic especially in that tier. Now my Elears sound better than my Clears. My new Elegias went straight to the collection, closed-backs have never been my cup of tea… but maybe the Stellias due for arrival late Spring will smooth my judgement who knows. But I doubt it… They are gorgeous though, center-piece material. I expect this is the last Focal batch with that look and build, heard tha they’re overhauling the whole audiophile segment, from the Elegias all the way up to the Utopias. That ought’ta be interesting…
