    PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs

    This is a hill I will gladly die on. I’ll put the Artti T10 up against any single driver planar magnetic up to $400. Period. End of story. I just did a comp with the S12 Pro, NiceHck F1 Pro and the original Timeless. It wasn’t even close. Considering what I have heard about the S15, it would...

    PLANAR IEMs fans thread-Impressions, suggestions, ranking list, techs

    Do yourself a solid and spend the $50-$70 (depending on current sales) and give the Artti T10 a try. That’s all I am going to say.

    Hifigo responsiveness

    I have contacted HiFiGo support several times, for different reasons and I have never waited more than 24 to 48 hours for a response. And it’s usually quicker. Helen is the person I have communicated with mostly, and she is wonderful, but I’ve never been dissatisfied with anyone who has answered...

    Xduoo Amplifiers

    I had heard that the Mullard tubes were bright and grainy, so I avoided getting a matched pair. Sounds like that was bad info. Thank you for clearing that up.

    Xduoo Amplifiers

    I hear ya. I sidegrade is okay for now. I’m just interested in hearing any difference between the two, not necessarily an “improvement” at this point. I’m sure that time will come, so I will keep your recs in mind. Appreciate it!

    Xduoo Amplifiers

    This question has probably been asked and answered to death, so apologies in advance. Anyway, here goes. My TA-22 is arriving on Monday. I’m planning on testing quite a few IEMs and some over ear headphones on it for a week or so with the stock tubes. Around next weekend I expect to receive the...

    Comment by 'bassdad8' in item 'ARTTI R1'

    Thanks to all for the reviews. I’ve just ordered my set (prior to finding this thread) for $55 on AE (Artti official). My decision to purchase was based on how amazingly good the T10 is (especially for its price), so I was hoping for a repeat (if different) performance from the R1. Sounds like...

    Shuoer impressions thread

    I’ll just get the Kefine Klanar then. $450 is more than I would spend on ANY single driver iem at this point. I think I’ll save my duckets for the Jupiter and grab the currently $90 Klanar for my next planar. Not Shuoer what Letshuoer was thinking here.

    The discovery thread!

    If anyone is looking to offload a Zetian Wu (OG purple reign), I am looking to pick up a set. Can’t find anything in classifieds and all I can find is overpriced used sets on eBay.
