An evening of source, cable and module rolling courtesy of another cooler who kindly lent me their Xe6. Immediate impressions on the silver module "woah, that mid bass" and to a lesser extent the sub-bass. To the point where the female upper-mid vocal register seemed slightly overwhelmed where...

Eletech recommends burning in the cable ..: whilst I’m neither an apologetic or advocate for the practice please do give it some listening time for your brain to adjust. So can you describe how it sounds with xe6? (sorry, couldn’t resist. I have a xe6 arriving next week on loan to hear for...

This young lass might fit right into the headphone water cooler :)

Sp3000 really needs a portable amp to shine. But I agree, the tonality has a softer touch. It's less incisive with that soft decay. Unless it's an IEM that is decidedly easy to drive I often pair my SP3000 with the MK475. SP3000 on its own doesn't synergise with a number of modern day IEM's...

It might have been his source - he was driving them out of a Aune m1P. I'm not familiar with the player - but in my brief audition with Anni ; not only are they hard to drive - but didn't sound great when not paired with a well matched source. If only Elysian would make an Anni 2024/2025 that...

Very pretty ... When you said "this is the base" I thought you meant "Bass". My first thought of Ragnar was "technically excellent but the treble" Whilst I can't remember Onyx (which means I may not have ever heard it) ... Spartacus remains my favourite in the Noble line-up. It's phenomenal...

Source specific. I’ve mentioned previously I also thought the 622B was “veiled” and somewhat congested in the bottom mids. The rep at Zepp also thought so. It’s no secret I enjoy Eletech cables but 622B perhaps deserves a higher end cable. Canpur 74E will be on a custom Eletech cable so the two...

Was watching the CJ Shanghai preview video from Head-Fi and to quote "you know those watercooler guys, they just love rolling the cables on their IEM's" Well I'm rolling Hugo2 adapters. From the vanilla adapter to the Orpheus on the Hugo2. If you're familiar with the interconnect, you'll be...

I respectfully disagree. That is a very entitled opinion. In my experience with clients, expectations and demands incongruent with reality are often associated with suboptimal outcomes. Or at least, an unsatisfied client. I will state outright that listening impressions are subjective. What you...

Your impressions are very similar to mine. I was rather impressed with the Aristotle for its low end warmth ; although mids and technicalities were an instantly noticeable improvement moving onto Euclid which I associated with a sense of scale and a more majestic presentation with heavier note...

I hear Eric is partial to a good whisky. Surely you're VVIP enough to shout him a drink and see if he will make you one? ;)

Brief impressions of the LP6Pro This is my first exposure to an LP player. Having heard so much about the brand. A thank you to @Damz87 and Luxury & Precision for the Australian tour. It is now several years old but still a current model available to purchase for $3899US First impressions: The...

Cable differences are subjective though you're comparing a $299 v $529 v $729 cable ... all of which have different characteristics. Both the Raphael and Code 24 are decent in their own way. You're setting yourself up for disappointment if you rely on opinions here. Especially if you're asking...

I reviewed it recently ... :) https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/eletech-ode-to-laura.26167/reviews Hope that helps some of the other posters. Whilst cable sonic synergies are not always predictable ... "in general" the characteristics may apply to different IEM's. It is difficult to ascertain...

I think they are Azla Crystal but will double check when I get home

...discovery like never before with the Aurora Soundwave X1 - where every note becomes an adventure, and every song an unforgettable experience. *Disclaimer: Apologies but the Aurora and Soundwave X1 are total fictitious confabulations from an AI language model. Any similarities with an...

Forgot to multi-quote earlier. I auditioned the SP3000 with the SP3000T side by side. I preferred the SP3000 +/- portable amp over the SP3000T. The SP3000 had the nod for being technically superior. There are many options with the SP3000T in terms of fine tuning the Tube/SS/Hybrid signature...

L&P P6Pro received today. Initial impressions: Small and light form factor. Like going back 5-10 years in time for portable DAP and then some. 64Gb internal storage. USB-C (at least) but transfer speeds are slooooooow. Warm, and engaging musical tuning. Intimate staging (compared to SP3000 +...

An evening of IC and cable rolling with a fellow audiophile. We ran out of time before I could try Enigma with Storm ... so Trailii it is. Very clean sounding cable. Bass is present but not prominent. Mids are forward and treble very well extended, with plenty of sparkle. Detail, clarity...

I would think so. The CNC and titanium costs would be a significant amount.

Finally got around to writing some impressions of my favourite cable here. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/nightjar-acoustics-lounge.971854/page-3#post-18152893 There are not that many impressions of the Nightjar Sovereign Symphony and I couldn't even find a product page to write a review. The...

A meet up with NightJar Acoustic's Chang I first discovered NightJar acoustics serendipitously listening to a rather unique looking IEM that was passed onto me by a fellow friend and audiophile. That IEM was Storm. I knew nothing about it. Once tips were dialled in, it was instantly...

Alter Ego received a lot of hype. It’s not a “bad” IEM although I wasn’t a (personal preference) fan of boosted Bass / low mids (of the bass switched on). The titanium shell is lovely to hold and looks very durable. The timbre is quite nice. You could be happy with it. Techs could be better but...

Ordered !!! How does it compare signal loss / sound wise with other modular systems?
