    Introducing the xDuoo TA-66 OTL Tube Amplifier - Now Available on Apos Audio

    I'm guessing that this amp wouldn't be the best choice to pair with my Fostex Th-610 (25 Ohm- 93db sensitivity)? Does the 'eight times rule' mean that I should be looking for an amp of 3.125 Ohms output impedance or LESS? Have I interpreted that right? Since the TA 66 has an output impedance of...

    Mid priced IEM cables thread.

    If it's soft & flexy then I can cope with the weight (that never seems to bother me, on occasion I've even listened via my Quedelix with it just hanging from my ears and it doesn't bother me as long as I'm using a fairly secure IEM.) It'd be great if the Healer was available with black hardware...

    Mid priced IEM cables thread.

    That cable is very tempting when it can be found at sale price. How would you describe it's physical properties? (I usually favour cheap 16 core cables as they are the most 'limp' cables I have found despite being 'thick', and I value this above all other physical traits). Does the thickness of...

    So the cable is wired incorrectly?

    UK here too [shrugs], it's occured with 3 IMR cables that I've used regularly now, hopefully your cable remains flexible. I did like the cables prior to this, especially the angled connectors, that's pretty unique in my experience. I've got/had countless cables over the years, and only had...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    My problem with IMR cables definitely isn't the ear guides. I've found that on both the old cables (came with EDP, straight plugs, pinkish/copper colour) and the more recent, which I received with my Elan (still pinkish/copper colour but angled 2-pin plugs) the cables above the Y-split became...

    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    I wonder id the newer 2.01 version will install without forcing removal of the sd card? I ask as if I remove my card Spotify will force me to re-download all my offline content (at least I assume it still does this, testing the theory could be nasty as I have a really really crappy rural...

    7Hz Impressions & Discussion

    HA! I think I'm the only person to vote for black so far! Well, at least my second choice or red has plenty of support so far. I do like the look of this design, and wish it was for the Timeless 2 (I confess I have little interest in yet another dynamic driver iem myself). I definitely don't...

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    I bought my first Xinh custom cable very recently (entry level 16 core, bent 4.4, 2 pin FWIW) and although I like it a lot (super supple, chin slider actually works!) it started occasionally cutting out on the right side after very little use (no such prob' with my other 4.4's so it's deffo the...

    Yeah, £450-ish for a £930 iem is a solid bargain for sure!

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    Elysium and Avalon pre owned are both showing as in stock when I look....? Amazing deals if they're actually available. I've already got EDP and Elan, but would have jumped at the EDP Ace if it were in stock (especially if it were a used one!- not realistic I know). If Bob gets his own...

    IMR Audio : Sonic Adventures & Impressions

    If you look carefully in the annular groove (not where the lip of your ear-tip sits, the other one) you should see a tiny hole, which acts as a bass vent. It's present on all of the nozzles (apart from the black one which is fully closed) and the differing hole size provides the different bass...

    HiBy R5 Gen 2 - Class A headamp, Dual ES9219C, 35h playtime, MQA 16x, open Android

    I'm disappointed that the R5 II appears to still use volume buttons instead of a wheel/knob. I'd also hoped for a device which would improve on the slightly sluggish operation of my OG R5. Perhaps I'm jumping to the wrong conclusion re' speed though, maybe the R5 II will run Android 8 faster...

    R5, a new Android DAP by Hiby

    Damn, I wonder if the battery can just be bought online in your location? I confess that I'm not having any luck finding a 654779p on eBay or a quick Google search.
