Oriolus Traillii Electrostatic Hybrid IEM discussion thread
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...- Tanalasta

Australian Head-Fi Tour Thread
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 +...- Tanalasta

Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread
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...- Tanalasta

Elysian Annihilator 2023
Alter Ego received a lot of hype. Itโs not a โbadโ IEM although I wasnโt 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...- Tanalasta

Woo Audio WA11 Review / Preview - Head-Fi TV
You need the older USB standard which is the On the Go cable. Itโs one of my frustrations with the WA11 and why I let it go. I may have one somewhere. Trouble is I never tagged them so I donโt know if they are until you try. WA11 has lots of power the but the inbuilt DAC and resolution I...- Tanalasta

Eletech Cables Official Impressions & Discussions Thread
Tips are very personal. In terms fit and sonically. However, would imagine baroque would work well. Versa means theyโre interchangeable from 2 pin to other connectors eg. CFA use a different termination I would suggest Raphael or OTL from eletechs range but tbh the stock cable ainโt bad if...- Tanalasta

What would one suggest pairing with the LCD-5. SC5 4 v 8 wire? I've just shot Trevor an email. In the meantime, using an adapter with my Vykari v2 which seems amazingly versatile paired to either the LCD-5 and Utopia 2022. Amazing clarity and detail retrieval.

[ Not the best picture. Very much enjoy OTL. Thereโs little doubt a flagship cable can fine tune and improve the technicalities of a capable IEM. Tighter, well textured but still authorative bass. Improved clarity etcโฆ What am I enjoying? Reposting a photo.- Tanalasta

If you donโt mind a slightly warm offering the Hiby R8ii seems to be often suggested. Trailii does scale with desktop gear (try it with TT2) but sounds great out of a technically capable DAP- Tanalasta

THE WATERCOOLER HEADPHONE EDITION โ Headphones, Amps, DACs, and desktop/home audio related โ a freewheeling discussion of gear, impressions, music, and musings.
At the price point Iโd expect it to compare to the Bose headsets. Reminds me a tad of the Apple Max also. Wireless ANC headsets are what they are. Keen to listen but would be surprised if sonically they surprised Bathys. Connectivity and TV use sounds promising though- Tanalasta

I wonder if I had gone down the 'buy a nice tube amp' pathway I may have ended up with a different headphone chain than I eventually pursued. The "easy to drive all rounder".
