đŸ”¶ Beyerdynamic T1 Gen3

Hmmm ok, so question how would you compare using the Bifrost 2 with the Lake people g111 to the Modius/Magnius stack I am using currently?

Also I do own the Darkvoice tube amp, with the hagerman would I notice a bigger difference? (Note, I haven’t spent a great deal of time investing in any tube rolling. I only bought one additional set and haven’t done much else with it.)

A pretty significant upgrade in most ways, spatial recreation, dynamics, resolution, impact and speed, and a slight upgrade in timbre (but not as big as the other aspects)

Pretty substantially different, there is a sizable difference between higher end tube amps, you might be very surprised and how much of a difference it is from a darkvoice. Regarding the tubes, the stock tubes in the tuba are imo ok but personally I would just replace them with these for an overall upgrade, grab 2 of these and you are good to go

Wow cool ok
 think you have given me a bit to chew on. I will have to do a bit research and think about which idea I should go with. Once you again, appreciate the help @M0N

Agreed, factoring that plus the scaling easily makes 1.2 better imo

Definitely balanced to liquid plat imo. Sounds fantastic

That’s a really good combo although I didn’t mention it because it would end up being a warmer combo

Im somehwat glad I have picked up the T1.2 and not the T1.3 for 600 euros more when I read your comments guys.
The T1.2 has easily taken the top spot of all my headphones. I hope I get the chance to hear the T1.3 nonetheless, shouldn’t be a problem since I’m in germany.

For Amp pairing I recommend the Bottlehead Crack over the Darkvoice as an amp for not much money. Sounds quite a lot better, clearer, more resolving etc, but I don’t know how it holds up against other options in the pricerange under 1k.
@Rick_Jones
I have the Lake People G109s which seems to be the predecessor to the G111 ( I think) and imo it does exactly what @M0N says. Just trust him :smiley:
Have forgotten that I hear music many times when I was on G109 and actually wanted to do other things sooo
that speaks for itself I guess.

Yea I will hold off a bit before I get more into picking up another tube amp. But I did pickup the Lake people G111 as @M0N suggested. Should be here this friday. So we will see how that goes.

Also for anyone else interested in the silver version of the g111 I got this email from them:

Rick, I have just been informed the silver version of the G-111 is out
of stock and silver has been discontinued. We have black available.
Would you like black or would you like to cancel your order?

I went with the black one instead of course lol.

Interestingly, I don’t see a way to purchase the foam disc that’s installed in this headphone. If anyone finds it let me know.

how do they compare 1990 and gen2?

DUN DUN DUUUUUUN! thanks for posting this ohm, watching now. In b4 IT’S TOO WARM!!

Edit: ya know
 I am in actually complete agreement with him on this. Granted I wouldn’t discount it so much to completely write it off the list especially if it drops in price by a very good margin. He mentioned maybe modding this so that would be interesting
 I wonder if you could switch the ohms out to a 600 variant how it would perform

You would need to make sure that the driver size and fitting matches, it may be easier to find a Gen 2 for sale unless you prefer the aesthetics of the new one and like DIY.

I already own the gen 2 and was gifted the gen 3 a ways back. I definitely love the new aesthetic and feel of the gen 3

no thread on 3rd gen T5P? no love?

side note: I wonder if these will carry the T1 tradition of just suddenly dropping out to $500 - $600 margin in about a year lol

If I remember correctly, the price of T5p 2nd did not go below 800$ :rofl: (brand new).

Any update in your t1.2nd or t1.3rd journey?
