Both Abyss 1266 TC and Raal Sr1a are on Black Friday sale now. I am in a conundrum to choose one between those two excellent headphones.
When I had listened to SR1a and 1266 Phi CC at my pal’s home, I liked both.
Ultimately I will have both.
But I wish to try one of them this time.
I wish to keep one nice dynamic HP(hd800s), electrostatic(Stax009S), ribbon (Sr1a) and planar magnetic(Abyss 1266 TC) in the future.
It will be like tasting wines with different flavors.
Please note that I have a speaker with plasma tweeters(Lansche 4.1).
But it will be impossible to make headphone with plasma tweeter since it will be too hot to your ears.
Although I am more attracted to Sr1a than 1266 TC, I am afraid of possibility that Raal make SR2a (improved version) next year while 1266 TC has not much more room to improve.
