Perhaps switch off a thx? Seriously that is a bright and harsher analytical amp, if you are bothered by the treble, I would urge you to look for a different amp

The easiest treble filter you can do is toilet paper. if that doesn’t work, then you may want to try cotton disc makeup remover pad. I used that to filter my Beyerdynamic T5P and it worked wonders.

It’s only one interconnect, and using one isn’t really different than using a slightly longer wire. I think they’d have to be using truly awful quality metal to cause noise (or microphonics) from one connection. And the interconnect would always be stationary so it’s not like you’d get stability issues like MMCX.

I was hesitant when I first heard the interconnect angle, because my brain still thinks in 3.5 and 1/4" headphone jacks first and foremost. When I looked and saw all the balanced outputs I wasn’t using, Hart’s interconnect system makes a lot of sense

Like @Onaha said, Arya is gonna change with burnin (100-150h for full effect in my experience) and you’ll also adjust to them. So give them a bit of time

M0N · February 21, 2020, 2:02am

Yes that was my experience as well, they shape up after burn in. I think @Antpage2 said he got his used so I somewhat assumed there were ample hours on there, but I am not sure

Onaha · February 21, 2020, 2:14am

I didn’t listen a ton to the Aryas, but I didn’t think they were especially bright. I thought the DT1990s were painful though, didn’t you also buy those recently? I’d be curious to see how you thought they compared

Antpage2 · February 21, 2020, 5:02am

The guys i bought them from said he had 30 hours on them. so theres some more burn in that can be done lol

Antpage2 · February 21, 2020, 5:03am

Nope, it was a pricing error on their website and they refunded me the money

Antpage2 · February 21, 2020, 5:04am

Yeah i heard it does have some treble on it from other reviews. not as bad as the schiit magni 3 though. but yeah im pretty sure im gonna get the RNHP. unless theres something better out there for the price

Antpage2 · February 21, 2020, 5:08am

Yeah they look nice, and its the only cable out there thats long enough and inexpensive. I think i’m gonna buy one. but the cable on my hifiman has 2 black bands on the plug, and harts only has one. does that mean anything?

Deon · February 21, 2020, 6:40am

If you want it to terminate to a normal XLR just ask James. Im waiting for my Aiva cable and it ends in a normal 1/4 jack.

Deon · February 21, 2020, 6:43am

Sound like TS vs TRS to me

Antpage2 · February 21, 2020, 3:55pm

I cant seem to find any pads for these. anyone know of any?

Andrew_Davis · February 21, 2020, 4:18pm

It must be one of these. Email HiFiMan.

Stock pads or aftermarket? The only ones I am aware of are Dekoni.

Antpage2 · February 21, 2020, 5:15pm

i didnt find any at dekoni for my headphones. its got the big egg shaped cups. I was looking for something that might bring the treble down

Hazi59 · February 21, 2020, 5:30pm

Oh ok, gotcha. I know of a few that have bought Brainwavz XL pads and shaped them to the ring that hifiman uses to clip on their pads.

Onaha · February 22, 2020, 3:52am

It’s sounding to me like it’s a good thing you never ended up picking up a Stax

Antpage2 · February 22, 2020, 1:17pm

Well the Elex and the Ebony were big lessons for me. Showed me how important other area’s of sound were. Midrange, bass and other technicalities. And i was discouraged by how many people thought the L700 was lacking. I still love detailed analytical headphones. But i want the other features too. I want a headphone that combines everything and sounds great.
