    The open Mri magnets get "burned" in before they leave the first power on lab, and they have to do 3+ days of cyclical on/off testing. So the superconducting wire can find a stable place for long term operation. MRI service technician.

  • @HermieDaddy
    @HermieDaddy 4 года назад +11

    the electronics do not burn in. However things like imaging sensors do shift with temperature. MRI machines are sensors using coils submerged in liquid nitrogen to achieve superconducting. calibration is internally done with each scan. The coils produce 3T or Tesla/gauss which is the total magnetic output of the earth. So the MRIs typically are ringing the atoms in your body using 3 times the magnet of the entire earth. The ringing of the atoms are turned into 3d images.

      @StatusQuo209 4 года назад +3

      Im waiting for Zeo's take on em too. I had the M1570 for a little while. I returned them due to the weight. The clamp force is better than the M1070 though. The vocals are recessed but detailed. But the driver seems a little slow and can smear on really busy music. Overall, I think the M1070 with the side foam and grill removed is the better deal. The M1070 has a resonance issue with he grill. Remove it and its gone. I have a feeling he will love em since he likes the Aivas. He seems to be partial to that relaxed, yet detailed sound.

      @@StatusQuo209 Have you listened to the Aivas? I just placed an order for the Blons while the drop is live, but the 1070 has been in the back of my mind for a while. If you have heard them, I was curious how they compare. m1070 reviews aren't the easiest thing to come by.

    • @StatusQuo209
      @StatusQuo209 4 года назад +2

      @@Erik-dm6wg the M1070 sound great. They are the same sound signature as the Audeze LCD series. I have not heard the Audeze, but the guy who runs Monolith did an interview with NTR and he stated that Audeze was the target. The M1060c with the open back sounds oddly similar to an LCD2 according to Josh Valour as well. The sound signature is dark, with recessed and relaxed mids. The bass is there, but not overly strong, but very accurate and detailed. The highs are subdued, yet detailed. The mids feel like they are more off into the distance and not very intimate. I've had the Elex for a little while and now that is a very intimate headphone. The sound signature on the M1070/M1570 is warm, but not the typical warm often experienced with wood cups. I feel this is do to the raised lower mids and upper bass.
      The headphones are a joy to listen to if you get one with good clamp force. They do not fatigue. These are all statements usually attributed to audeze LCD series headphones.
      I did not listen to the Avia, but I did have the M570 for a little while, which uses the same driver and sounds a little different.
      The M570 and the M1070/M1570 is hilariously similar. The M570 has more air and sparkle. That's pretty much it. It sounds sharper because of this, resulting in a less refined sound. M570 vs the new Monoliths? M570 IMHO. or the Blons you ordered. The new Monoliths are too heavy and are not competitive with the existence of the Aiva drivers. If you don't like the Aiva driver sparkle, then yeah, the M1070 might be your calling. But they are surprisingly similar.

      @@Erik-dm6wg hey man. You are welcome. On a side note, if you are looking for potential end game planars on the cheap, take a look at the Hifiman Ananda. Those are my end game. They do everything well and excel at a few key things for me being detail and tonality. They are like the planar version of HD800 but you can drive them off a portable usb-c inline dac.
      If you are on Android, using UAPP and the Morphit in app purchase, there is an Ananda correction profile that applies a headphone correction to make the Ananda follow the Harman OE Target. This brings up the bass and slightly brings back the forwardness.
      Ananda technical excellence + Profile correction truely make them perfect. And you can use em portable. I use it off a Sonata HD S3 Dac/amp.
      They are 699 on Amazon. And Amazon has easy returns. The build quality is trash tho. But I look at em like a tuned Dodge Neon SRT-4: it's still a cheap Neon econobox build, but performance is on point.

And yeah , no M1060c Open mod can do that for sure , been comparing back and forth for a couple of hours today . Some dummy said they they are muffled , some idiot told they are lackluster on punch , one not genious claimed there is a compression at times not enough resolving or some other stupid shit , you know who said , quot ,they a hair more fun than plain boring..WHHATT !!?? You weirdos better take those pillows out your ears and stop lying to people , these are Superb ! Its my second day of ownership and i am ecstatic , baby , for sure ! Technical death metal , electronic of all kinds , world music , classical , acoustic , hip hop ,Drum n bass , ambient , chillout , psytrance , you name it, everything on'em sounds purely Fantastic, yes ! And i didn't pass my 15 hours of burn in even . 2 things 2 consider though : ya gonna need an amp ( no LG G8 no 75 knots max still no ) and if your music production or mastering is whack ya gonna know that , otherwise - its a damn fine audiophiliac top of the line product which sounds extremely pleasing . Still don't get it ? - Just grab it for 499 until Mr Clark and Homies at the Drop changed their mind , cuz these shoot way above their price definiteily . P.S : Big shout out to Mr Clark and Drop Crew for having a very fine tuned ears .Zifallion , must be deaf or retarded in other way to compare these to 58X or 6XX , which i own and love , by the way , Aeons blow those beginner tier still audiophiliac phones out the water easy , easy . And those guys like Zifallion try who sound reasonable and give not proper review while praising way lesser products, you are the main reason i did not buy Aeons 3 months before .. I am out .

    solid state electronics do not burn in... but... sensitive electronics do slightly change characteristics when powered for a long time. a seven digit multimeter is more accurate after its been on for 24 hours, at least on a fine level. its called warm up, if you turn it off and cool it down, it undoes the effect, unlike "burn in". i believe moving parts do "burn in" but it may not be appreciable. i dont believe the felt has burn in, fiddling with it with your fingers will have a much more massive affect than playing music through it. its right there i draw the line of audiophile snake oil.

    Why no mention of these versus the Ether CX? I thought that would have been an automatic since you've also reviewed them.
    FTR, what Drop & DCA did to "tune" these was to remove a layer or two from the acoustic paper that covers the driver & add the earpads from the Aeon 2. Those earpads are partially fenestrated on the inside of the pad which supposedly affects the sound. These are definitely things that you should have pointed out in your review.

    Probably the reason that now you like them is because back in the day you tested them to Aune X1S and X7S which are terrible amps with such a low impedance planar. Even a dragonfly red is better with the Aeons than Aune Chi-Fi, cause output impedance and dat. This was always a terrific headphone in my opinion and personal experience, despite that some people ''echo'' some reviewer's opinion and call them ''boring''. I don't believe something change internally also.

    Drop should do a special CB-1. They changed it recently as it is way different than the pair I bought 2 years ago. The pads are not the nice thick, soft ones they were 2 years ago. they are thin and hard. The mounting of the pads makes it really easy to HM5 pad swap though.

      @@timothychan4566 Exactly why I question if this was more similar to those than the originals. Remember that Z hated the OGs while he loves these. Considering there have been stinkers from Drop like the Edition XX I wonder if these are good from being a redesigned Aeon 2 or if these are just based on the OG Aeon. It's not very clear.

      thinking of getting these aeons with a magni 3 heresy, was planing on either getting an sp200 or sh-8s from smsl but thanks to amir at audiosciencereview I found out that the heresy can reach the amount of power I nee before the breakover point (where noise shoots up). the atom also has a lower noise floor but it shot up a little sooner andonly has about 100 mv of headroom, and im guessing there is a degree of varience per unit so to be safe I went with the heresy. the sp 200 is a good deal at 160$ right now and its single ended outputs go as high as its baalanced (this is actually because its unbalanced and typical amps give 2v out and balanced is double, but this one was just really good at 4v already so a truly balanced output became unnecessary. unfortunately smsl decided to ruin their product by putting crappy potentionmeters which caused a channel imbalance. (this is how it was done in the 70s and every audio brand still controls volume like this.. its so dumb, at least give me 1 know per pot so I can manually fix it...)

    • @TechEtrix
      @TechEtrix 2 года назад

      @@cadetsparklez3300 Hey mate:)
      I can confirm on the channel imbalance issues. Maybe I should have mentioned this previously. I started off with an SU-8 and a THX 789. but my THX 789 was broken twice (extremely poor quality control), so I switched to the SP-200. However, the channel imbalance was horrible. The only point where the potentiometer was balanced was at volumes to high to handle. Therefore, I eventually switched to the A90, which I love.
      Regarding your choice, the Magni Heresy is the better pick in my opinion. However, the Schiit hardware does bring in slight colorations that have to suit your personal taste and pair of headphones - just like any other amp or pair of headphones. Hence, I‘d suggest going for this combo, giving it a try and - if necessary - returning the parts you don‘t like to switch them out.
      A general note: do NOT use audiosciencereview as your only source. They do only rate the DACs and AMPs from a technical point of view, no consideration of sound quality, which may well diverge. However, they are great for measurements like channel imbalance, TDR, etc.
