  1. 7Hz Legato

    2.00 star(s)
    I had the chance to spend three weeks with the 7hz Legato, and four other IEMs, in return for my honest impressions. Thanks to @Damz87 as always for organising. The 7hz Legato I received didn’t come in its full retail package, however did have the leather case which is quite nice. I can’t comment on the tips, packaging etc. (which is sufficiently covered in other reviews) however the case is quite nice (if not a little on the large size) and the IEM feels well built. The cable isn’t anything special but no complaints here. The IEM is a dual dynamic...
  2. 7th Acoustics Supernova

    7th Acoustics Supernova Intro Thanks for 7th Acoustics and @Damz87 for the Australian Tour of these. All thoughts are my own and not influenced in anyway. Rating is based on similar IEM's around the same price point (or in this case + 50%). I’ve been running from one review/impression to the next in the past few months and really had no idea what these were prior to receiving them. After not being blown away by some mid-fi IEM’s recently I was being to wonder if I’d fallen into TOTL territory where nothing under $2k would ever really do it for...
  3. Effect Audio X Elysian Acoustic Labs: GAEA

    4.00 star(s)
    Disclaimer: I had the opportunity to spend two weeks with these in return for my honest opinion, this hasn't influenced the rating or thoughts at all. Thanks to @Damz87 for organising! My iPhone doesn't take great close photo's, this was the best I could get, but there are plenty of photo's out there of these beauties. Design and technical specs: When you first see these IEM's you're taken aback by their look. Absolutely beautiful faceplate with a cable to match. I'm used to heavier IEM's of this size (FIR Audio / Sony IER-Z1R) but these...
  4. iFi audio ZEN Air DAC

    4.00 star(s)
    Disclaimer: I have the iFi audio ZEN air CAN on loan in return for my honest impressions. This has not influenced my opinion. Thank you to @Rowan94 and @iFi audio for the opportunity :) The iFi audio ZEN Air DAC is an entry level DAC/AMP which accepts many formats, and can output via RCA or directly through a built in amp with a SE 6.5mm output. In the box you get the ZEN Air DAC, a USB B to A cable and some quick start guides. You'll need your own RCA interconnects to link it to your amp if you so desire. The cable is extremely short so unless...
  5. iFi audio ZEN Air CAN

    Disclaimer: I have the iFi audio ZEN air CAN on loan in return for my honest impressions. This has not influenced my opinion. Thank you to @Rowan94 and the @iFi audio for the opportunity :) The iFi audio ZEN air CAN, other than being a mouthful, is a great little amp which for my ears is a great entry point (coupled with a streamer / DAC) for anyone wanting to see what the fuss is about, or a great secondary setup for others of us that are already deep in the head-fi hole. In the box you get the ZEN Air CAN, a DC to USB cable and some quick start...
  6. Ifi Audio ZEN Air Blue

    Disclaimer: I have the iFi audio ZEN air on loan in return for my honest impressions. This has not influenced my opinion. Thank you to @Rowan94 and the @iFi audio for the opportunity :) The iFi audio ZEN Air Blue is a bluetooth receiver which can be added to your setup easily to enable you to stream music in from a Bluetooth sender (in my case my iPhone 13). In the box you get the ZEN Air Blue, a DC to USB cable and some quick start guides. You'll need your own RCA interconnects to link it to your amp. Box: Unit (with iFi audio Zen Air CAN...

    Meze Advar Disclaimer: First off, thanks to Meze Audio and @Andykong for giving me the opportunity to review these on the South Africa/Australia tour. While the review unit was loaned at no cost all opinions are mine and not influenced whatsoever. About me: I'm a middle aged guy from Australia. I have a stupidly large headphone collection and spend as much of my free time as possible listening to music. Technical Specs: Driver: 10.2mm Dynamic driver Frequency Range: 10 Hz - 30 kHz Impedance: 31 Ω SPL: 111dB/mW Distortion: <1% at 1kHz...
