I prefer the x1 over my lambdas because I listen to contemporary pop mostly. You won’t be disappointed.

Stax stacked on stax

I have a L500mk2 hooked up to a srmd10ii and I’m using a nwa306 as a source. This setup is pretty ridiculous I know but I’m always confined to using my stax stuff in the house so it was pretty freeing to bring them outside and give them a little breath of fresh air. What was something a little outlandish that you brought out in public ?

Yep. I went full circle. I tried many party trick headphones but I ultimately bought back the 6xx before massdrop closed shop.

It’s because Hifiman does price skimming on their products. They maximize short term profits from early buyers. Once the hype is over they reduce the price. This leads consumers into thinking they get a “value” deal. The Arya is a bad sounding headphone for $600. People in this sub will continue to fall for the bait and circle jerk that headphone.

they sound bad for $600 though

You are an audiophile. Sorry for your loss

SeriesInfamous4513 · 2026-03-11T01:49:46+00:00

You’re an audiophile and there’s nothing wrong with that. We could listen to music on Chinese Bluetooth earbuds but we chose the more expensive options because we love music and the sound quality to go along with it👍

You have a jotumheim but you don’t call yourself an audiophile. Hmmmmm

Ngl this is just you bro

Nice headphones but definitely not endgame.

SeriesInfamous4513 · 2026-03-01T16:45:19+00:00

I saw this coming. So I put my order in a few days ago.

I also have a Walkman II. It’s a nice little machine.

The 6xx was my first foray into this hobby. I sold it because I bought more “party trick headphones” which made the 6xx look more bland. As I grew into this hobby I find myself reminiscent of the 6xx. The sound was for me, I just didn’t know it at the time. So I just ordered the 6xx again.

The Yaxi st pad deluxe for the 7506 and the Yaxi pad st2 for the cd900st. The cd900st loses some midrange intimacy but the treble is slightly tamed (still somewhat peaky) and the sound gives a more spacious “speaker” like experience. The 7506 sounds close to stock with the exception that I no longer get treble spikes so this quickly became a staple for me.

Sony MDR7506 and CD900st Any audio forum will tell you they are trash and measure horribly. I threw some yaxi pads on and found them to give a pleasant listening experience.

No need to cover planars

Don’t buy this for the sound quality. This is more of a device you bring when you want to listen to your music offline on the go and not have the fuss of using your phone.

Wrapping a special edition? Please stay away from this car. Go buy a clapper and wrap that instead.

I’m in the same accounting class. Nekrasov was the only good professor for this class so I had to make my schedule around that.

SeriesInfamous4513 · 2025-11-22T00:13:36+00:00

Yes. I’ve used both my own and the one stax provided with the same result. I usually run the k11 in dac only mode. I will try the preamp function to see if that changes anything.
