    I do have GenG and GenP.

    GenG is going back to Evan for further tuning - being shipped off today.

    GenP might be able to continue on, but not sure this is getting split up.

    Due to change of habits, I'm requesting to be removed from the loaner. Thanks!

    The only people I know who change habits are nuns.

    Please remove me from the genesis-g tour list. I'm picking up my own GG. Already spoke to @thegunner100 to move on to the next person.

    I'm still interested in hearing gen-p but the original gen-p only tour seems over. Unsure about 'separated' gen-p tour (from both-unit tour).. but if such thing exists, please leave me in the list.

    I’m not a potential buyer but I’ve gained interest in hearing some decent modern electrodynamics to compare to orthos again and would be interested in hearing these. It seems they’re in CA now. If that sounds ok I’m in the Bay Area right next to @loadexfa We often do drop offs so no shipping is necessary.

    I understand if you only want potential buyers though.

    cheers.

    @rhythmdevils as someone who also loves orthos, I think you should give them a try. They might surprise you.

    @rhythmdevils about to forsake the ortho monasteries.

    GenG driver and other headphones with drivers that use actual surrounds (THX00 + TH900 family, ZMF?) for more excursion like speaker drivers have bass that doesnt sound bad next to a planar while in general having less ringing / ortho walls in the higher frequencies. Some say, electrodynamic bass is actually better in some ways. Im no authority especially since Ive not heard TH900 or LCD2 or HE6 in years, but ETA GenG bass was nicest Ive heard from memory.

    I am a prospective buyer and would be happy to hear the GenG revised tuning. However, I am more interested in ETA Supra or slightly revealed prototype.

    Received.

    Is there a specific right and left cup? I can’t tell if they are slightly angled or not and they came detached from the headband.

    The sides used to be specific because the tuning filters were asymmetrical and mirrored.

    GenG received from @Bill-P . Appears to have a free-floating plug on each side. I'll get to listen to them starting tomorrow.

    I listened to these ~45" last night. I'm impressed. The sound is refined, balanced in pretty much all sonic parameters, and neutral--the kind of neutral that simply reveals detail and doesn't shove it down your ears. In fact, nothing about this sound jumps out at the listener; everything is of a piece. I kept thinking as I listened, "This is what the golden mean sounds like." This tuning is very evolved & accomplished.

    Yes, the bass is way better than I could have expected. Then again, every part of the sound is better than expected. As is the comfort and ergonomics (excellent).

    Will have more to say after another listen or two. So far, I'm very impressed.
