Anybody tried Lab1 with Cowon P1?
Anybody tried Lab1 with Cowon P1?
Cowon P1 - Not the best paired but ok when Amp'ed
For me order of best pairing is:
Tera Player + Portaphile 627 Micro (OPA627BP)
Calyx M + NXT-2AK
Tera Player + NXT-2AK
Tera Player
AK240SS + NXT-2AK
QLS QA360
RWAK120 Titan
AK120II
Haven't tried other pairings!
Hah, you will have me pulling out the NXT-2AK again tomorrow. I went back to listening without a few weeks ago. The cycle looks like a sine wave.
Interesting pairings. However I am not remotely interested in the Tera Player as a primary go-to DAP. Screens are quite an invention on DAPs, just like wheels are good on cars.
FAD Just dropped a press release on some new full-sized headphones! The Sonorous VIII and Sonorous X, these look like fully dynamic as opposed to hybrid BA/Dynamic designs. Hopefully that means they are a bit cheaper.
The VIII is 600,000 yen. I had a quick listen at the show. Very disappointing. Sad, because the Pandora series is so good.

Cars don't function without wheels, but hearing works perfectly without screens
Well I had my first listening session with the Lab 1, it was certainly an interesting session, strange because they were what I was expecting and not what I was expecting all at the same time. Are they dark? Are they bright? Are they warm? Are they cold? Are they forgiving? Are they unforgiving? Are they fun? Are they analytical? Well too be honest they are all those things, you never really know where they will go next or what they'll do.
Tera Player + NXT-2AK really is an incredible combo, and I'm loving Tera Player + MASS-kobo model404 even more.
Not exactly sure about the pricing but I didn't expect 10 to sound like that since I've been looking forward to the release a long time ago

SONOROUS 10が62万7,000円、SONOROUS 8が38万円となる。
^ I would also say they never truly enter what I deem as brightness but they can flit between rather dark to a much brighter tone in the blink of an eye. Can I ask you which tips and insertion depth you are using, it sounds strange but I am in an odd position that I have never faced before where I can't decide whether I like the largest tips with a shallow insertion or the smallest tips with a deep insertion. Just wondering what other are preferring?
