    Axpona 2025 EarGear Impressions Thread

    Cross-posting this since that is a hell of a lot easier than copying and pasting the whole post. Thank you to @Makiah S for making this thread. I don't know all the handles but I wanted to shout out a couple retailers that I was pleased to have gotten my impressions from. It was great to meet...

    Axpona and EarGear 2025 - April 11-13 Schaumburg, Illinois

    Hey all! Sorry for the late entry, I spent the weekend with wife and child who were at the show with me when we went on Saturday. Speaking of which, we had a really positive reception of our three-month boy. A lot of people saying "gotta start them young!" which I was not at ALL expecting. Very...

    iFi Audio asks... Help us to create a HiFi Shows Playlist!

    "all the good girls go to hell" by Billie Eilish is one of my favorite test tracks. Great bass impact and separation in the chorus, lush vocals, snappy hi-hats. Just a lil bit of everything

    Introducing the xDuoo TA-32 DAC/Hybrid Class-A Tube Amp - Now Available on Apos Audio

    Are the dac chips the same ones used in the xd05 pro? Would be neat to see a simplified economy for this instead of needing separate dac chips for each unit, and that would absolutely put this dac/amp on my radar for things to buy

    Audeze Vegan Pads.... Are Back?

    Got my listening in with the new pads, upgraded from the stock leather. Noticably better vocals, more sense of air in the treble. They just sound so much more natural than before. There is a shaker in the left ear in Kali Uchis' "After The Storm" thats just so perfectly crisp now. The stock...

    Audeze Vegan Pads.... Are Back?

    brown pads on the lcd-2c would go hard. Even though i just got my set in, i would totally double dip if these were offered in brown 🤎

    CanJam Global 2024 General

    Felt, I'll miss canjam this year probably. AXPONA's lineup does look really good tho, should make up for it. Already got that weekend off work!

    CanJam Chicago 2023 Impressions Thread (June 24-25, 2023)

    Havent had sufficient time of straight up metalcore/deathcore/djent with any zmf, but my ears always geared towards aeolus based on other genres ive tried. Warmer cans will usually sound better for these genres, but dont go too warm like atticus imo

    Reply to review by 'BarefootDyl' on item 'EAR Micro T10 Bespoke - Featuring Klipsch Audio'

    Very thorough review, well done! I'm gonna have to find a time to revisit these, i walked away from the t10 bespoke stand at canjam chicago wildly unimpressed by the technicalities and thought the sound was only decent, but the tech is absolutely fantastic. Granted, this was coming from using...

    CanJam Chicago 2023 Impressions Thread (June 24-25, 2023)

    Agreed! I feel Chicago having a calmer event plays well in comparison to the other canjams. Side note that this canjam was smaller than it was last year with physical limitations bc Hyatt is a smaller place than last years Marriot Marquis, which felt real spacious in comparison. If i were to...
