I looked into the MGs when my Clear order was delayed. From what I could tell it's pretty colored which ended my interest. This is a good comparison:

Happy Birthday!

Congrats indeed. They have worked out great for me. There isn't a painful aspect to the treble which is what I was worried about, just a kind of sheen on bad recordings. I think the only sure thing to step up to would be the 1266 TC from what I'm reading. I've looked at impressions from those that bought most of the top tier headphones, and as you mentioned, they seem to all have flaws that require you to own several of them and then EQ anyway. An exception seems to be the 1266 TC with an upgraded cable and an uber expensive matching amp. So, for me, the Clears seems to hit right down the middle on everything. I prefer to not EQ them.

Thanks for the reminder about the Hoffman Method. It's been awhile...

Happy Birthday!

Carline Shaw - Let the Soil Play Its Simple Part

Yes - Close to the Edge

Jason Isbell - Reunions sooooooo good.

Finally getting around to this. Decided to go with Qobuz (24/192 kHz)

Cedric Burnside - Pretty Flowers

Thanks for that 👍 I will give that a try tomorrow.

I can see the pixels, are you sure it's QHD?

^ I concur. There is a glare to the upper midrange on the Clears. That along with the immediacy can get fatiguing. I go from these are perfect to "could you just chill out for a minute" depending on the recording.

Speaking of Wagner. Earlier today...

^ Tyll and others came to the same conclusion. My hope is that the Utopia MG or whatever the next rev. will be fixes those issues while maintaining the same detail and refinement. Although, it rarely happens that way, but we will see.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

I have the original vinyl and SACD/CD. I'm do for another listen. It's been awhile.
