Do you have a review of the Meze 109 pro? I just tried to look for it but couldnt find it. Full disclosure i didnt look THAT hard, just typed in your name and the product. Anyway, i'd like to know your take given what you seem to like.
I have the Burson Voyager and use that with the “cheaper” Audeze LCD-X and that works very well. But I also use the same voyager as a preamp into some 300b monoblocks and Klipsch Cornwall IV, and as an alternative option into the Burson timekeeper GT monoblocks. The all Burson system is smooth and detailed but my favourite with the Klipsch is the Burson voyager with 300b monoblocks, so smooth, lots of bass, a solid midrange and a just enough top end.
Have you tried the voyager and Susvara? I don’t think the combo can be beat. I have also Chord Qutest Dac and Hugo M scaler. Also have upgraded power supply for Chord M Scaler and Qutest.
ha ha... so you want to ugrade your experience... connect a Smyth Research A16 to the Burson Soloist Voyager and then you will get a full 24 channels instead of your two channels... and you get to choose the speaker models of those 24 channels.... yep.... 24 speakers from your headphones and it is amazing... and then get the Susvara to listen too.... the Voyager drives the Susvara fine...
id love to hear your thoughts of the susvara using speakers amps as that headphone scales incredibly, the best ive heard it is on a diy speaker amp, you have lots of great amps which would pair well with it, id love to hear it on the maria integrated amp
Other than Burson for solid state I would recommend Violectric or Niimbus for planars - or go all out with Pass Labs First Watt, XA25 for Hifiman Susvara, Tungsten etc. Other than that it's tubes all the way, Eddie Current, Donald North Audio, Cayin, Felix Audio etc. for dynamics like the Utopia or ZMF's, or for (modded) Sennheiser legends and moderate to efficient planars.
Even an entry level speaker like the Klipsch RP-600M gives you a musical experience that is miles ahead of the most expensive headphone, with headphones your ears listen to the music, with speakers your entire BODY feels the music. Headphones-only people are losing 90% of the musical experience and they don't even know it and they are mostly young people.
90% is a little much but you're right, they are losing out on a lot. theres songs out there that are actually kinda crappy, but recorded and mixed so well that it sounds AMAZING.
When you are listening to speakers, you are actually to your room with speakers in it. When your listening in the headphones, you are listening music coming straight from the drivers. So technically, headphones have an edge, unless your room is perfectly treated.
Welcome to the headphone rabbit hole.

Purchased one over a month ago & it’s been used daily since. Loving the dense tonality it presents, especially with the 1266.
I especially love the part where you are vibing out to the Verum 1 with no cables, whilst wearing them backwards. 🤪
Me too :)
Anyone have any experience with the Monoprice Planar Magnetics? Picked up 1570C closeds for $350 bucks.

Nice. I’ve been so curious about this pairing. Thank you so much. 🤝

So the metallic timbre and treble is still there? I've owned the Soloist 3x GT and found that it sounded metallic, tinny.
Other reviewers have stated that the problem there is completely fixed with the Voyager.

Give the Fostex th-900mk2 a try 💪 there is an open back model as well...
does this have spatial audio
There is no such thing as soundstage in your brian. A solid state amp does not increase sound stage or anything like that.
It absolutely does.
@@kingstoler how so ?

The 600ms are an abomination. Your ears are broken in the first place, let alone to have any authority.
@@enjoshi-godrez8775 they are amazing if you use them with tube amplification
