Got my SE5, Gavin's and my wife's SE3. Will meet Gavin tomorrow. Quick listen as I am on vacation with family. Sound really interesting so far. Perfect build, fit and comfort. Crazy isolation. Very specific signature. Intimate, slightly warm, very detailed, but most of all very analog, liquid, musical. Like the Tera in CIEMs. So they pair nicely with AK100 stage 2, but even better with the Tera, made for each other. My wife says the Se3 are clear and with deep bass " coming from far" but not bloated.

sounds promising~ Grzegorz did it again!

 

[tupac0306]

And watch out how bass is dependent on different songs ~

Actually when I first heard SE5,I can't assign it to any sound signature apart from liquid and musical. It doesn't really have a strong signature

It pairs both dx100 and 901 extremely well, unlucky you have neither of them for now

 

[Mimouille]

The DX100 is sold. The 901 we will see....

 

[tupac0306]

Looking forward to your 1+2 vs se5 when you full brain burned in with se5

SE5 is like heaven when paired with TP. Even without amp.. it is just perfect!

Really want to try the Tera player.. But how can I survive with 128 g card full of songs

 

[Mimouille]

Much more easy to manage than it would seem

[Jazzyfi]

I have several cards, probably wiser to split music than just squeezing every songs in a 128GB card.
A 4GB card to listen/get familiar to my new music, just enough for 2 albums. One 32GB favorite jazz music, usually play them in shuffle mode. And a 64GB one for any rock, metal that I like, mostly shuffle but some prog rock album I just play it straight forward. Navigation is not a problem, for me the biggest problem is no pause function especially when I'm listening to 10 minutes+ songs.

These babies sound great.

A humongous THANKS to Mimouille for arranging my pair of SE5....

 and great meeting you, this morning and chatting for 4 hours rather than listening, great company!!!
 
 
Initial thoughts, definitely top-tier sonically............

 

[spkrs01]

I should add that we ended up chatting for 4 hours when we had over $15,000 worth of gear in our bags......

 

[Mimouille]

Yes thanks Gavin...well a great chat requires two while great listening is just fine alone...especially with se5 isolation. I had great fun. Good thing we did not get mugged and 4 hours is a minimum to say what we think about everyone on HF

They scale up so well...................
