        Love it a lot more than the generic "Banned." Gave me that feeling of catharsis when I first saw it, which is weird.

        I'm not buying because I'm not in America. Wish I was: I'd go wild.

        Here in India, "50% off" is deducted from twice the original price. Or, at least, on 50% of items it is.

        not as bad as Yggdrasil A2 to my ears. It's just dynamic and clear. This is in direct comparison to Aficionado. YMMV of course.

      So how does the HE-500 compare to Verum? I'd been thinking about jumping on the Verum campaign but didn't want it to feel sonically redundant amongst my other planars.

        It depends on how you have HE-500 configured. I really like HE-500 stock but with Dekoni TH-900 Series Fenestrated Sheepskin pads. This is a very neutral sound. Verum, with the pads I preferred was a little more laid back. They are both very competent headphones. I'm not sure Verum would be an upgrade though.

        Verum 1 will be less v-shaped compared to HE-500 with stock pads, tighter bass and more natural timbre.

      Hearing is fine...that was a scare though. Loud SPL can damage hearing regardless of frequency.

      Been burning them in. They are very good at this point. But yeah there is a mid-range consistency and coherence with modded 650's that is a hint more correct and slightly more open! But the staging, sense of ease, focus and frequency extremes is already noticeably better! Been running Auteur pads only at this point! Still going to keep my 650's. Will post picture on Auteur thread!

        I have not. I might be getting an Atticus with Suedes to try and will ask for the new Auteur non perfated pads to try. I'll need to borrow my buddies HE-6 again though, so no promises.

      I see you own the Code X6 (modded by @LFF) w/ Hardwired BTG cables. Do you know if (those specific) Hardwired cables are a requirement, for Luis, to properly Mod the HE-6's? I also own Brian Goto's French-silk braided-type cables w/ Mini-XLR ends & multiple Adapters for my other headphones. It's the Q-Audio cable version, not the BTG-direct one, so I'm not sure if it even matters w/ Ω, Gauge or soldering wise?

        I'm gonna follow in ya footsteps & save-up for something that's quite the similar TOTL caliber; as the end of my own audiophile journey nears... towards full enlightenment, audio nirvana & great Schiit alike, LOL!
