Curious to hear what you think of these on the Hemps. Look cool. One of the selling points of the Hemps was the return to the old Grado flat pad… if these are better or just as good and more comfortable, Hemp owners will Wanna know!

Sorry.

EDIT: I have changed my opinion after some more thorough testing. My thoughts can be found farther down in this thread I linked.

I’m sorry — you bought them and tested first! The pads that come with the Hemp are pretty great for the sound. I thought the purple might look good at least, lol.

That’s because it doesn’t have a beryllium drive…

Sold the Asgard 3 and purchased a Gilmore Lite Mk2 today. That should pair very nicely with my Bifrost 2. Still have the V200 on the way as well. :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s awesome. I’ve been really curious about that Gilmore. Really looking forward to your thoughts of it. :+1:t4:

That’s very cool. I did that with some in-house demos of amps way back in the day when I was putting together my loudspeaker setup. Most places were pretty accommodating. One had me buy a receiver with the understanding that I could return it in new condition for full refund. Another let me borrow one with my card as collateral, but without running it.

For the ones I ended up returning I gave detailed reviews to the shops on why I chose what I did. Figured it was the least I could do.

I love Matt’s work. Have a Forza cable for my Stellias, and it’s one of my favorite cables, period.

My headphone stands from Boryk Workshop on Etsy finally arrived today. I ordered them on June 29 and they shipped on July 2 and have been stuck in COVID delivery hell ever since. I got one notice that they had been processed though a NY facility on August 4 and another that they had finally left NY on the 11th. Once it finally got into the domestic chain it got here in a couple days.

Packing was impeccable–the box was internally lined with wood and every stand was individually wrapped. Seriously, top marks for protecting these beauties throughout their very long journey!

OK, enough blathering–here’s what they look like:

If I didn’t just buy 2 amps, I’d definitely take you up on your offer. Unfortunately, I’m unable to commit to purchasing anything else for a while. Appreciate the offer though. :slightly_smiling_face:
