Favorite setup I have found for casual listening. Argon MK3 and ifi hip dac. Have a rather large collection of stuff, and this makes me question the need for items that are several times more expensive. It is not as technically capable as my other setups but tends to be a more enjoyable all-rounder.

I just got a 2nd-hand T60RP which runs just fine on my Fiio BTR 5 2021. Lovely sound, whether with or without Wavelet profile enabled.

Ever since I got my Argons I have been living in them.. I don’t know how to explain why it’s more fun to listen to, but it definitely is keeping me from buying a TOTL. What else is currently on the sideline for you?

Currently HD800s, ZMF VC, TH900mk2, lcdx, Arya Stealth, and bunch of midfi stuff. Typically switch it up every few days. Honestly don't think I would've traveled as far down the rabbit hole if I started with the Argons. First 2 were hd650 and he400i. Didn't care for either that much and started trying a bunch of stuff.

I have argons and 9 others. They are my closed back benchmark. I have LCD-x and I rate the two very closely. I don't have a decent dynic driver set but planars are incredible and I can't see myself wanting for anything else. Well that's bull I'll buy some focal eventually.

How do the argons compare to the th900mk2?

What pads are you using on your t50?

I usually go for the perforated suede universe pads.

Currently oval protein. I have pretty much every zmf pad but haven't pad rolled on the t50 yet.

Nice, haven't tried that combo. My oval protein is just laying around, used to have it on my m40x years ago.
