Re: anyone tried or using the "new" D Addario Reserve Evolution Reeds?

Well ... as you well know, the sky is the limit on headphone prices ... if you read the Stereophile or Absolute Sound, you will see headphones that cost as much as a new motorcycle.

I am an old goat and go back to when the most esoteric headphones were a pair of Koss Pro 4A ... at less than 80 bucks. Something really far-out were some Stax electrostatics at 500 smokes ... (good cigars were a dollar apiece in 1970)

Yeah, it took a little period of adjustment, but the Reserve Evolution is, IMHO, a really good production mouthpiece, and even better if you file the trash off the inside from CNC machining and make sure the slot or window does not have a microscopically raised edge. This MP has good hold and control in the upper clarion and with a tip of 1.08mm, articulates quite well. I think Richie Hawley and the team did a really good job. But, I think all CNC MPs need personal attention: "trust but verify" ... next ones I purchase, I might forward to someone I trust to do the final tweaks, rather than let my blind eyes and unsteady hands do the job ...
