Austrian Audio The Composer isn't the new Sennheiser HD900 that was never released, more like an improved AKG K812 Feb 10, 2024

      Found an interesting Audi TT - unfortunately it's so north I'd probably have to get a pack of reindeers and a sledge to get to there.

        Maybe it was an Audi-Europe thing. In Europe you could specify the cars with different engines. You had to pay for it but there were options. It was not always through Audi but sometimes Audi-VW-specialists could do it. I mean Germany is almost next-door here.

        I had the same engine in a 5 speed 2003 Passat. I loved that car!

      Listening to a pair of Quad Era-1's @home. Apart from an channel imbalance issue, these do not suck ass.

        Darker / fuller sound than with Sennheiser HD600's. Initial impression of treble is that it's more even sounding, though slightly dark in the presense region and also in the upper air region.

        Bass has noticeably more heft, especially in the lower frequencies.

        I'd say detail wise these are behind the Senns. Like almost one full step behind, but maybe the difference in tonal balance plays tricks on me.

        @Cellist88 Nope, looking for a gasoline one. No real charging infrastructure in place here. I would need to be able to charge it either at home or at work. But who knows, maybe in 5 years and maybe the next car then...

      The Stax SRM-727mkII is a glarey piece of shit. I literally thought something was broken when it was fed from a Burl B2 Bomber.

        All the STAX amps suck. Actually, their tube stuff sounds better IMO.

        Exactly! An older SRM-006t tube amp sounds actually fantastic in contrast. Tonally the 727mkII is a far cry from it. Cannot think a single area where it'd even match the tube model. The headphones used were SR-009's, if somebody is wondering (the older non s models).

        Coconut water works well, probably from its rehydration properties. I also learned in high school that greasy breakfast sandwiches from Hardee’s, Burger King, etc help, but I’m not sure of the science behind that one.

      Had a change to demo the Stax SR-009's. Pretty sure they're no match for the Raal SR1a's, although still very likeable.

        I did clean to whole enclosure with isopropyl alcohol, also from the inside. The PSU card was easy to remove, but the mainboard was a bit too tricky, thanks to those AES/EBU inputs with push flanges. I wiped what I could and the thing is now less smelly.
