Well, I guess we will find out soon enough, June 3rd.

Well, They could price it at $6500 and copy Audeze in what they did from the LCD-4 to the LCD-5 (going from $4000 to $4500 retail.) Or, do what Abyss has done with the new Diana DZ and go $500USD below the previous flagships price. They would win a ton of community favour by doing so, and that...

I'm having trouble keeping up its moving so fast :smile:

Nice to see some subwoofer content on a headphone website :sunglasses:

@goldwerger sent me a PM to invite me over and let me know this thread exists. Now that its not an IEM focused thread (so I might actually be able to have some non smooth brained input, lol) happy to be here :) Not much new going on with my system these days, but I'll see how it goes in the...

I feel very similarly and said as such in my reviews of both the headphones. The build of the X9000 feels more premium than the Shangri-La. However, all the reports of channel imbalance with the X9000, 1 year warranty, and wait times for replacements (meaning sending the headphones to your...

Just based on the housing, the grill covering the driver matching the Jade 2, the headband, and the companion amp looking like the EF400, I'm guessing it will be pretty real world pricing and might also be a direct replacement for the Jade 2. I could be wrong of course ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Courtesty of @TaronL over at the headphones.com forum Hifiman Shangri-La Mini. Interesting! Looks like it has a companion amp also.

Hey @Abyss Headphones In the interview below about the Diana DZ it mentions "two exciting new headphones." Does that include the Diana DZ? Making the two headphone the Diana Closed (which is scheduled for around CanJam socal) and the Diana DZ? Understand you can't mention things specifically but...

Quoting from the website, so I'm guessing it is replacing the TC going forward. "The sound is full, spacious, and very nicely detailed, limited only by the connected electronics. Diana DZ offers the highest resolution available in the Diana line, providing beautiful imaging and realism to sound."

Curious to see how this turns out

So the 300b amp I know we've heard it will need to be used with the transformer interface, but is the VM1a replacement a direct drive amp similar to the VM1a? It appears to have a female XLR plugged into it, so that makes me think it is, but also has a 1/4" output, so maybe it can do both? Does...

Though I don't know about the 4300E specifically, Audio Note UK (post Kondo Split) is one of the few, or perhaps only, that would be in a position to design a tube and have others build it. ANUK not only builds equipment, but has their own lines of parts (capacitors, transformers, resistors...

To be clear, I have no bias towards chinese tubes, or equipment in general, and I don't know why you would take that away from my original post in any way.
