Thank You both for the speedy replies, Now to make up my mind between the A73/A83 
I've been hovering around the A83 for a while now, the A73 look very interesting though for that price, though i wish the cable was not fixed...ahh decisions ...

A73, the latest one...save some $150-$170 for (near) future release from them.! (A93 maybe, same triple hybrids?)

Maybe A85, this will go with the current naming pattern.

This is my first foray into IEMs, i just got the Oppo Pm3 a few months back and love them, but still want a smaller portable for night time in bed listening to music laying down and being able to fall asleep. Also for hot days in the city!
 
Read a lot  of reviews but keep circling around the Fidue pages..something intriguing about them..

Yeah, maybe that pattern cld be for triple hybrids (A85),  65 for single dynamic (just luanched A65) and 75 (A75 upcoming?) for dual dynamic IEMs?......

Exactly what I'm thinking.

These are extremely comfortable in your ears even when lying down. But the cable is a little grabby so might pinch your skin or pull your hair if you're lying on them and move you head.

Wish I can hear them , I find the macaw gt100s comfortable and small

@Hisoundfi i own the GR07BE and a few other iems (see my sig) and was saving a few bucks to buy a tripple hybrid, my first top tier iem (and possibly my last ). I was eyeing on the dunu dn2k or perhaps a fidue A83. Reading your review and larning how good these are, im in a confusion now. What would you suggest me to do? save up for the big guy or go ahead and pull the trigger on A73.? thanks.

The a83 is a beast of an IEM and the build is top notch.

The a73 is a little less glamorous in build, and I really like the sound.


I guess the answer to that comes down to what you want specifically and what your budget is.

I keep telling myself to save for my end game iem (noble Kaiser 10u) but that never happens because I get all pumped up over the budget stuff. Truth be told, this budget fi stuff is 90 percent of what the summit fi stuff is, and it's more a matter of if you want to pay a ton more for that extra 10 percent.

Hope this helps

I like the a73 more because it's half the price of the a83 (half the risk) I like the sound signature just as much as the a83 (YMMV) and it fits my ears better.

Use reviews as a guage and not a tell all answer.

Hope this helps

lol true that.! same story here. I have been telling my self that ill save up for my end-game iem (dn2k/a83) and have spent more than 200 odd $ in the process, all on budget fi lol.. for instance just won a fidue a63 three days ago for just $33 and just today won the tenores for $24.5 lol.. Now thats -$50 off my 'end game IEM' piggy bank..lol   (PS:feeling lucky since a week.. hehe )

Hey guys!
 
For all you US and Canada members, the A73 is currently on sale at CTC: http://www.ctcaudio.com/products/fidue-a73-high-performance-hybrid-earphones
 
Get em while they're still hot (not the treble)! 

 

 

[Paulus XII]

I prefer them when they're cold

Just picked up a pair from Penon Audio and received them in two days flat! Enjoying them quite a bit. Does anyone know which comply foams would fit on these? The comply site says their 400 series fits the A83, would it be safe to assume its the same for the A73?

After a certain price point, it becomes all preference and not necessarily improvements. All the TOTLs are technically competent but sound vastly different. Where as in budget fi you are getting more and more performance for the same price range along with different preferences so its twice the fun

In my experience, I found diminishing returns hitting hard after 300-400 dollars.
