HI Sasaki-san,

I'm wateramon.
My problem was solved.
I'm sorry for doing an annoying question to you.
I will be looking forward to the renewal of Music To Go in the future.
Best regards,

Good evening Mr.Sasaki.

Thank you for the answer.
However, I do not understand the meaning of "Post ten messages on the forum." well. Could you teach a little more in detail?

My best regards.

Hello Mr. Sasaki,

Please pardon a sudden letter.
I am a person who shook hands with you in the Tokyo headphone show this spring.
Do you remember me?
I am 37-year-old illustrator who lives in Chiba.
I wanted to get the advice of Headfi from Mr. Sasaki and reported.
I became the member of Headfi recently.
However, my account becomes "Junior Head-Fi'er".
I am contacting administrator several times because I want you to change the account.
However, there is no change.
I want to become not the junior member but a usual member.
How should I do?
Please lend wisdom.

My best regards.

Hi Shingetsu,

Sorry the response being late, I have overlooked the visitor messages since I have been out.
Anyway, speaking of audio performance like resolution, clarity or soundstaging, ESW9 is way better.
However, if you like rock or slam oriented music, that is another story. A bloated but solid bass of ES7 could be nice for that.
Also have a look at my ESW9 thread.

Both are good without amp, but I recommend a good amp for ESW9.

Happy listening,

Sasaki

よう！　ささきさん！　今晩は。

Im a noobie head-fier but i noticed that you have the Audio-technica ES7s and ESW9s.

In comparison, what are the clear differences between the two as far as soundstage, bass, clarity, etc go? sound better with an amp or do they drive pretty well on an Ipod?

once again thanks.

I'm assuming your japanese, Im actually korean and have been learning japanese for roughtly 4 years.

Autumn flower at local temple

Autumn has come and now we have autumn flowers. I don't know the English name of this flower. We call this flower as Higanbana - Autumn Equinox flower. That blooms around autumn equinox day.
Red one is common but I especially like white one that has purity and elegance.

I went to take photos to local temple. I used soft lens to capture this beauty.
