Campfire Chat - Official Campfire Audio 2024 Thread!
I completely agree with that. The Supermoons are my first CA IEMs and play nicely with everything I have: Shanling M7, Mini I Pro 3, Woo Fireflies... but probably best of all with the Cayin RU7 dongle. This is a pairing so ridiculously good it has no right to be as portable as it is.- StokeNewingtonJohn

Hi Shanling, how does the tuning and performance compare to the M7?- StokeNewingtonJohn

Shanling M5 Ultra - High-End MTouch Portable Player - Releasing in April 2024
This is a shame, I agree. The only workaround would be to turn your favourite Tidal files into FLAC or MP3 ones then put them on a SD card using something like this. I can’t say whether it will work with the M3U, though.- StokeNewingtonJohn

ZMF BOKEH - Closed Back (Semi-Portable)
And in the humble opinion of the owner too. They were surprisingly darker than I thought they would be, but are spectacular to the eyes and ears!- StokeNewingtonJohn

ZMF BOKEH - Closed Back (Semi-Portable)
I too have both and agree. the Bokeh is incredible value, hugely versatile and satisfying. If you get a pair, you're certainly not going to feel as if they're a compromise. And if, on the one hand, you need something that can easily be driven by a DAP or dongle in that sense they have the...- StokeNewingtonJohn

Introducing Shanling M5 Ultra - High-End MTouch Portable Player at $589
Hi new M5U owners. I have a Shanling M7 which I've been delighted with, but am tempted by the M5U as a slightly smaller, lighter and possibly warmer/more euphoric second player for long listening sessions and commutes. Shanling have clearly done a good job - again. I'd be interested in any...- StokeNewingtonJohn

CanJam Singapore 2024 Impressions Thread (April 6-7, 2024)
Hi there Kai. The Apollo is certainly intriguing. Are you able to say whether it will be designed to be used equally effectively in wireless mode and passively wired, like the T + A Solitaire T is? -

Campfire Audio - SuperMoon
Just to say, I ordered mine in the last (March) $799 batch and was a bit gutted at the further price drop a week or so after my order. BUT, first, Drop were great. They gave a ten day shipping estimate from the run closing, kept me up to date and stuck to it with slippage of a day. Secondly, the...- StokeNewingtonJohn

Reply to review by 'StokeNewingtonJohn' on item 'OPPO PM-3'
I thought I’d bought the very last new pair about 18 months ago but then this pair popped up on eBay today. Snap ‘em up without hesitation. Even when you have exceptional headphones many times the price (my others are ZMF ACs and Quad Era-1s) the PM-3s remain something truly special and you’ll...- StokeNewingtonJohn
