Any updates on listening impressions with the Eikona 2s? What was the consensus at the 15th annual VI diyFEST?

How are they on Also Sprach Zarathustra?

 

[planet10]

I have that on an LP, but i’d have to check if i have a version on the server. I could always hook up the TT, it is right there (and 2 phonoAmps).

They look like they mean business.

They need some minimum grills to hide the drivers for a real monolith look.

as it's been identified i need to experience properly designed t lines, how much are these going for?

It has been given some thot. You’d have to come up w something sonically transparent and did not create any visual break. Black driver might be easier.

Since it was 1st discussed — very flat black paint -- this stuff has come out, claimed better than VanaBlack & available relatively cheap. Would invite some experimentation.

They are currently out. An unexpected rush. Unexpected?

Bob, if you want to make some of these, email me.

It is less black than vantablack which is a kind of molecule forest, it is however a very black traditional paint that should be more than sufficiently black for our use case.
