What's in the box!

Even then, I haven’t seen most drop below 2000.

Had to grab these at such a great price. Only $650. Super stoked on the wood look too. Lots of cool knots for a stock wood. I think these will be my last Atticus pair as these are cool looking, only weigh 460g, and perfect for late night movies and music. That is unless they do a camphor burl or stab drop. :laughing:

Getting very near “Endgame” for me and my setup. Dac and music server yet to go. Think this is the end of the line for me as far as amps go. I said that before but I mean it this time…

Picked this up in a trade. Super fun sound. Waiting for some better tubes incoming. Much different sound compared to my Stratus. Reminds me of my old leeloo.

Triode Labs Finale EL84 amp. 16 ohm headphone tap.

Congrats! Oh the mental gymnastics going on in my head trying to justify and figure out how to fund purchasing it since I heard it at CanJam SoCal.

I really think that the name of the amp is perfect, it describes what I feel each time I see it!!

(in a good way of course :wink: )

Ok. You’re done. :grinning::moneybag:
Holy hell @Audiophool! You killed it this year in the amp department. So, are you keeping the FolkVangr from Schiit?
That is a lot of tubes my friend. :upside_down_face:

Been Enjoying these for 3,weeks now.
This is the most agreeable tuning I’ve experienced in headphones period, based on my preferences.

The virtue opposite envy is gratitude. So that works. In a good way of course.

You must be super excited, give us a report later. BTW, what DAC are you using? Just curious…

How are you finding vocals? I’ve been interested in these for a while, but my one lingering doubt is the elevation around 1-2k, which gave vocals on my Focal Clears a slightly strident, metallic edge. I think my preference is for a recess in this region - like the HD 800S - but I also realise FR isn’t the only variable here.

Ooooh, impressions please! :slight_smile: Even though I am mere weeks away from my Stellaris presumably going into production, I’ve been eying this one as a possible last minute change of heart. Have you shared thoughts on it anywhere yet?

Hi friend. Very relaxed tuning. The vocals are sublime and position very well and accurately.
The treble is the better than both the HD 800 and LCD XC with the vocals, especially sibilance. If you want a relaxed tuning. Yes I recommend these headphones. :slight_smile:
