What's in the box!

That’s pretty sweet.

The LTA are also some amps that I’m very interested in. It sounds like you have a pretty versatile and sweet setup.

Cheers!

Thanks so much for the awesome impressions even going the extra mile getting some time coming from your solid state. It is no nice to have different experiences through the same headphones, and your input is greatly appreciated since sometimes tubes can be finicky. Then every once in a while you get a fantastic synergy making your cans sing in ways not thought possible. Amazing gear you have there!

I got a package from Japan a few weeks ago, here are the pictures:




The ST2 pads on my “walk around the house doing chores” AT BT headphones:


The audio quality improvement with these over the stock pads makes them a mandatory purchase for every owner of the ATH-SR30BT.

Any thoughts on the sound change after the new HD650 pads?

Yes, I don’t recommend buying them. They make the headphones sound very dark, and not in a good way. The pads are also very difficult to fit on the headphones. Stock pads sound a lot better and are much easier to put on.

I found they were good for the HD-580, however. I can see that with the 650’s warmer sound to begin with, it might be an issue. My 580s had 20+ year old original velvet pads.

Same issue with Dekoni. Every time I swap them, I go back to stock within a week.

I read somewhere Yaxi is not memory foam. Then, after some time when the foam softens and your ears come closer to the driver, the side effects are diminished. Just a hunch.

This is the issue with Dekoni, btw. It’s too thick. Not good for sound quality.

Good to know about the Dekoni pads. They seem to suffer the same frequency response issues as the Yaxi pads. I’ll get a new set of original pads instead.

BTW, my other Yaxi pads have been great, it’s just these that miss the mark.

I have had some other stuff arriving over the last few weeks. I forgot to take proper box shots, so here is a display with all things together. I wanted the HD650 as a reference to compare my other headphones to, the Loxije popped up used for a good price and I wanted a portable amp for couch use.
