Sony CD900st BTL-modded - I just love the vocal presentation on these old Sony’s. The fact that you can still pick them up is pretty crazy to me and Sony has tried many times to create an improved version but still haven’t been able to do so. Great mid range and enough clarity and resolution for me to enjoy even when Diana Phi is next to it. The mods help space out the bass, giving it more texture and detail. The recable also helps open up the stage a bit more compared to the SE variant. Overall, I’m very happy with the changes the modded version provides.
Diana Phi - A comfortable TOTL alternative to the Utopia. Has great resolution, space, and tonal balance. This is currently my newest headphone but I’m not sure if it has the same staying power as my sonys.
