The general consensus on this site seems to be that the Clears have better tonal balance and fewer flaws than the Utopia, but I recently got the Utopias and I definitely prefer them over the Clears. I find them to have better dynamics, clarity, and speed with a similar tonal balance (a little brighter, but still relatively warm, at least compared to my Lambda NBs). What exactly do people dislike about the Utopias in comparison to the Clears?
We hear them similarly. I found the Clear boring coming from the Utopia tbh.

the poll is statistically meaningless. the guy who started it has acknowledged that and tried to have it removed without success.

i guess not

is this worthy of consideration as an all-in-one dac/head-amp option for low-impedance single-ended headphones?

Check out the ECP amps and report back and you will understand why. I completely agree about the HD800 vs. HD800S though. TMoney should share his thought. His DSHA-3 is an excellent match to the HD800 as well.
well that's not gonna happen without me buying one first

"completely different animal"? i find that hard to believe having tried the hd800 with a variety of amps. not even the hd800s is a "completely different animal" from the hd800. an amp would have to reduce the 6khz peak and increase the bass in order to transform the hd800's sound signature into something approaching significantly different. i'm yet to hear an amp do that and it's arguable that no amp should.

i'm with bjorn on the utopia and hd800 comparison

You already asked Birgir with pm, got an answer. Also started a topic about it, got an answer and started another topic.
I think you should go with this website. Get and experience about it and share your experiences with your friends.
Or just get a JH 13 and stfu.

starting two threads when one would have sufficed is a really informed choice

the hd800 won't sound like your hd650. i preferred the hd800s to the hd800 because it wasn't as bright. sennheiser's taming of the notorious 6khz spike made the hd800s a less fatiguing listen for me. everything wears out eventually, including headphone drivers.

@steveg - the sr-325(i) is the most aggressive sounding grado going around. you might have found the sr-225(e) which is cheaper or the ps-500(e) which is more expensive, more to your liking. going to a meet or to an audio store that carries a range of headphones for you to try is recommended.

I'm disappointed with the Utopias. They are very good. That is the problem. Everything with them sounds very good. Nothing sounds great, and nothing sounds bad. Maybe I could have a better system for them, but a Capitole Mk II SE running to a maxed out SP Extreme with true NOS VT-231 and Tung Sol 5998 is about as good as I'm going to get.
Thank you, Todd (skullguise), for letting me borrow your Utopias. I am very interested in what my friends think, on Sunday. It is a combo of audio engineers and music fans, and none of them pay much attention to me (they wouldn't be my friends, otherwise).
my reaction was very different. i was really impressed by the utopia. its sound and build quality made it a headphone worthy of totl status.

Agreed. Might be in the minority here, but I've never heard a Grado headphone I've liked and I've heard damn near all of them.
Different strokes, I guess.
didn't you own a ps1000?

Are these the worst SR-009 set in the world? Aka. why everybody should stay away from modified headphones
