The soundstage is not as wide as the OH700VB to me and the RA has a more intimate presentation. It’s not closed-in, but not fully tridimensional either. I second @PeacockObscura’s impressions (I have the RA since 3 weeks now).
I am a bit confused here. To my ears the width is definitely comparable with OH700VB. Depth of stage is more on Ra, and height is very slightly less on Ra compared to OH700VB...but the imaging is distinctly more 3D on Ra compared to OH700VB. Do you and @PeacockObscura feel otherwise?
Nope I'm pretty much in line with you now I'm on my 2nd day with them still learning the differences but to be fair I'm finding it hard to take out of my ears to cross reference cos memory plays tricks
Hello guys,
I always change my mind 5 or 6 times during the honeymoon period mainly due to only listening to the new set my real impressions come later after when I go back to the collection and actually compare.
I should be getting mine soon, had a nightmare sent the money to the wrong PayPal address which took 2 weeks to get back
!! Lol
Hia matey, I was just reading one of your reviews and noticed you own the Shanling H2.
Thanks! Appreciate your input also.I should be getting mine soon, had a nightmare sent the money to the wrong PayPal address which took 2 weeks to get back
Anyway all sorted now so should have them in a couple of weeks. Once i do receive them after a couple of days burn & listening will be doing a a comparison with a few of my favourites Penon 10th AE, IMR Dark Matter, Juzear Clear and maybe some short impressions against some cheaper popular bass monitors 7hz Legato, Kbear Rosefinch ect... to give an idea what an extra £400 Bass monitor gives you?
I'm just SO happy they are getting a great reception due to them being such an expensive blind buy
The H2 is a great pocketable device with bags of power the sound is comparable with midfi daps such as the Fiio M11 series or Shanling M3 ultra I have a 512gb card in and as long as you have a tidy folder system for your music files, control through the Eddict app in folder view is snappy and easy to use. Initial connection can be a challenge but once it's accepted by your phone, every subsequent connection is seamless.
You are really in for a treat to my ears they care a level all those iems and yes I own them tooI should be getting mine soon, had a nightmare sent the money to the wrong PayPal address which took 2 weeks to get back

How is the wagnus ampReceived mine on Saturday’s morning. It’s semi-custom shape shell fit like a glove. The stock cable is quality and mates very well with RA. IMHO, over the years in this hobby, none of the stock cables captured my attention. Clement did a good job on top of the eye pleasing packaging.
OTTB impressive. But after a few hours hearing and burn-in, it seems to have lost its initial wow signature. It only started to sound more stable after 40 hours. Therafter, Soundstage expanded to my taste but it does expand further to my sweet spot with additional juice due to its scalability. This is an indication that RA on my audio chain is more power hungry than my IMR Semper and Aur Ascension even though it is easy to drive.
RA has very nice natural timbre across the spectrum like my Aur Ascension. Matter of fact, both seems quite similar in presentation, except that RA is more generous in the bass compartment especially the sub bass. Whereas Ascension has better treble. Both have glorious midrange in spades, therefore both excel in the vocal range.
Additionally, I feel vocal is packed with nice vowels and for songs with backing vocal to be exceptional. I am to hear background voices which I doubt I am hearing from my existing IEMs.
Overall, RA’s coherency to my ears is top notch. Blending with its musicality, sonic delivery across the spectrum rhythm and flow in smooth effortless manner that at times getting me into the groove on some of the songs- a main objective of a music lovers.
Btw, I met AO Clement during the SG CAMJAM. A cheerful and humble young man who has cultivated a wealth of knowledge in this line of business.
Demoed his flagship and love it. Coherent with balance SQ, and very textured treble. Plenty of bass air but too bad it’s BA as my preference for bass must be DD. As a sucker for soundstage and this flagship didn’t disappoint- expansive soundstage makes smile.
My Audio chain:
DX260/DX220Max——-RA with comply T600L
DX260/DX220Max——PB5—-RA
DX260/DX220Max—-MK475—RA
DX260/DX220Max—-Wagnus tube preamp+Wagnus amp—-RA.
Have a nice day and Enjoy your music!

Very durable and been with me for almost 10 years now. My trusted amp to demo IEM.
My bad, just verified with Clement over WhatsApp the one I heard was Tribrid. The BA version was in his hotel room.
I also prefer DD bass the only all ba set that caught my ear was the SLT6 from Meyer-Audio, I thought the bass was standout!
