My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

“Hd6xx kills both of those for way less money” - You can’t compare those two different headphones (HD6XX / Z7). Open against closed. A very neutral headphone against a headphone that delivers very enjoyable music no matter which genre. HD6XX is much more difficult to drive (300 Ohm). It is by far not so comfortable like the Z7, not to say that the HD6XX can give some bigger heads a feeling of being clamped in the bench vice. HD6XX build quality is far away from that from Z7 and far away being high end (check the headband, earpads, cable, cable inputs etc.). If you compare the whole package, the Z7 wins in every aspect.
“And you are exactly right. I'll keep enjoying my hd6xx (often considered the best buy in the hobby ever) and you keep enjoying your overpriced fart cannons :-)” Every headphone sounds different. There are a lot of people who are considering a HifiMan HE-1000 as best buy or a Sennheiser HD 800 or a Audioquest Nighthawk…. Why are so many people go for HD6XX? Not only because it sounds very good and the massdrop price was a bargain, but it’s a headphone that is on the market for a very long time and it has an excellent reputation. And the reputation was built in a time period where barely competitors were there like nowadays! The Z7 is in comparison very new and not known at all. It is made in Japan from where one really gets an excellent quality (Fostex, Denon, Stax...). One can always discuss if the price is acceptable for someone or not. Everything is relative. So it depends on the money you have available for such a hobby. Only if you own some other headphones like Z7 and have the possibility to compare them directly for a while, you can write a serious review. But not from hearing and reading of others (“often considered the best buy in the hobby ever”). This being said, let me repeat again. The Z7 is an excellent headphone for “listening music”. Don’t make it to a bad headphone because the price offered by massdrop is not a bargain and seems too high for you. If amazon is cheaper then go for it. Cheers
