Oh no, now you chase tube amps to find just the right pairing.

Running it out of the Bottlehead Crack now and it sounds magnificent. Though I have to say it also sounds great off the SS RebelAmp.

You will love them…Give them a good 100-150 hours to break in…I switched out to the BE2 Hybrid pads and absolutely love them…They are by far my favorite pad for the Atrium.

What change does the BE2 make? I chose the Auteur as my spare pads but after switching them with the Universe pads, the Universe pads sound better to me.
Wonder if Zach will do a swap?
It smooths out the higher frequencies but also adds a little more kick to the mids making them even more realistic if that makes any sense to you. It also helps out with a little more slam on the low end and increases the sub bass…I generally listen to alternative rock, classic rock, 90’s R&B and old school rap from the late 80’s to the mid 90’s…They sound the best to my ears with with the music I listen to.

A couple years ago my friend acquired one if the LFF modded/tuned Code X Hifiman HE5LEs. When I got to listen to them I was very impressed with the sound which was nicely balanced and musical, making for an engaging listen. At the time I told him that if he ever decided to get rid of them he had to give me first crack at buying them. Since then, I have kept an eye out for a pair and nearly snagged one off of head-fi recently, but someone else messaged the seller first.
Fast forward to this evening and I get a message out of the blue from my buddy. One of our mutual friends mentioned to him that I was putting together a collection of Hifiman round cups that he had come by and listened to when we hung out last. My friend, being the cool guy that he is, said he doesn’t listen to the HE5LE Code Xs nearly enough and that he would prefer they join my round cup collection. Long story short, he sold them to me on the condition that if I ever decide to get rid of them I have to give him the chance to buy them back at the same price. I said no problem. I’m so stoked to grab these Code Xs when I head home in June! They’re quite rare and hard to come by and they’re a very cool headphone to listen to.

Bought a new cable for Sennheiser gaming headset, Sennheiser GSA 506 cable.
Cable included originally… has turned itself into janky disaster… plus the inner shielding most likely is partly broken. Mic gives “talk” symbols even without talking.
The replacement even feels different and is more bendable not stiff. Almost fully straight cable out of bag. Go EPOS.
And it was like 13$ so i dont even feel robbed. lol

Very lucky to have one!
what happened with the 6700? Seller back out?
personally waiting for 7700 announcement
It was detailed in the Let’s Talk about Computers thread. The seller sold him a card in extremely bad condition without clearly stating it.
What I got had clearly been severely abused. Even on the BIOS I suspected wasn’t a mining BIOS, it crashed before I could work my way to to something like Furmark
Thats a good price did you get that on sale somewhere?
Yeah, I bought it during the Ali E anniversary sale

Nice!
Looking forward to your impressions.
I modified the the Hifiman HE1000v2 thread to now include the v2 Stealth Edition too, if you’re interested in adding any thoughts there.
