Blatant advertising puffery given centre stage by Head-Fi, so undoubtedly a paid for advertorial. When ordinary folks are experiencing straitened economic times, why is a $2K IEM cable given the time of day let alone a thread?!? Money speaks louder than…

Apparently the ‘Acoustically Treated Wood Panels’ add an indefinable organic quality to the TP’s musical reproduction. As even though these are just cosmetic external components made of cellulose that (theoretically) have no impact whatsoever on unit sonics, a combination of owner fanaticism...

Backers folly was entrusting a persuasive marketer (Gavin Fish) and a purported engineer (the Ho) with millions of dollars to make reputedly SOTA audio gear without any production guarantees or proof of concept whatsoever. It’s an extraordinarily well executed scam when you think about it.

Quite frankly who cares whether your nefarious boss produces junk DACs or not, as it’s blatantly obvious to ALL your crowdfunding backers that LH Labs was a sham company setup to defraud backers. The proof is in delivery of malfunctioning products - my Pulse has never worked properly - and the...

Really?!? Charles is asking for over 3000 Euros for essentially the same device that I purchased from him years ago (as an early adopter) for 500 Euros. Whilst I enjoyed listening to my TP it became readily apparent that it’s appeal is partly predicated on ameliorating the high and low sound...

@stuck limo Patronising backers by proffering condescending replies to folks that’ve sunk their hard earned cash into the LH Labs crowdfunding fiasco demeans both your credibility and that of your employer. To recap, LH Labs offered WAVE backers a state of the art DAP, conferred with the latest...

I’ve refrained from commenting for quite a while as other Indiegogo ‘tech’ campaigns that I (retrospectively) gullibly supported have also proven to be fraudulent scams. Having been duped with a few ostensibly plausible crowdfunding ventures (5 at last count) I despair at the illegality condoned...

The Tera Player (TP) is undoubtedly an extremely robust, easy to use and very decent sounding DAP. Moreover, because it’s processing algorithm truncates the very upper and lower echelons of music files, the TP’s sound is pleasantly rounded off and likeably inoffensive. The Tera Player will never...

@glassmonkey Yeah, I went “Oh” too, having Googled the Platinum base price. I’m not a cable skeptic by any means, just a price refusenik. ;-)

@georgelai57 Brilliant, thanks for the excellent news. :-)

@Palash is this a confirmed price or a speculative guess on your part? Thanks.

@FiiO these specifications and features are very impressive, so without wishing to sound impertinent, would you kindly inform us (potential buyers) of the likely price?

This might be a naive question as I’m not fully conversant with credit card (CC) companies chargeback policies, but on other failed/failing crowdfunding campaigns that I’ve had the misfortune to support, a few backers have mentioned successfully instructing their CC companies to reclaim monies...

Come on attendees, where are all your event photo’s?!? For those of us unable to attend this year we need far more pics to live vicariously through your efforts! Muchly thankitudes.

It’s very disappointing and unfair that Focal have decided to exclude European audiophiles from this Massdrop offer. As I understand and appreciate the necessity for distributors to have exclusivity in their home market(s). But given this fact, what differentiates the North American, Canadian...

@givemetacos Thanks for the heads up as I'd missed that comment from Will. How very bizarre, a French company not allowing Europeans to buy it's products. :triportsad:

Can someone kindly explain to me why this drop EXCLUDES European purchasers?!? As no European countries are listed on the Massdrop webpage as shipping destinations. Focal sell their products globally so why prevent European customers from buying these cans?

It utterly beggars belief that stuck limo would try to albeit apologetically justify the utter screw up that’s the Wave campaign. Get real dude, as this shambolic catastrophe is an an aberration of the highest order, with monumental screw ups, lies, misinformation and duplicitous deceit. Larry...

I commend those Pulse backers still awaiting their units for being so darned patient and forgiving of LH Labs for their obfuscation and downright lies. Personally I’d be apoplectic if Amazon sold ostensibly the same unit as my backed device at around half of the cost that Larry Ho Ho Ho (he...

Hahaha best thread post by far. Tragic but true! :L3000:

Having requested some more tangible specifics from Mark Mallinson about how the Signature version differs from the Mirus Pro, he wrote - “The transformer is new and we have changed the Op-Amps in all circuits Andrew. These are the biggest changes that I am aware of. I will be sending John...

I asked Mark Mallinson this very question about the Mirus Signature Pro and his reply was - "The Signature PRO series is sonically superior Andrew. We are always experimenting with different components and solutions. Mirus signature Pro takes things to the next level beyond what we could...

Charles is still selling Tera Players for 2,990 Euros when he wants to so it's unlikely that they'll become unavailable anytime soon. As an expensive idiosyncrasy the Tera Player excels at being a quirky DAP and does inspire intense loyalty from some owners. To use an automotive analogy, the...

Great to see that musicday regularly resurrects an ostensibly dormant thread with his gushing praise for the Tera Player. Though who would buy one now when the introductory units sold for 500 Euros each.

musicday no disrespect to you at all either, but I've lost count how often you post raving about the Tera Player and saying essentially the same thing over and over again. Moreover, I'd argue that the Tera Player is inherently flawed by not playing any formats apart from WAV and by not being...
