TGXear Desolation Sound Black Sand in excellent condition. These are currently sold out and hard to find. Steel MX500 shell, 4.4mm terminated cable, 130 Ohm. They come with wooden box, foams, leather cable strap. Purchased from a fellow head-fier recently and tested for a few hours. I absolutely...

For sale is my beloved iBasso DC-Elite. Only selling because I upgraded to the 3X more expensive D16, and even then it was a hard battle between the two. Unit is mint with all accessories and packaging the same. Cheers and thanks for looking.

Gives an extra glow to all the good aspects - width of stage, texture of subbass, dynamic impact - while adding a tiny bit of warm weight to the mids and controlling the treble just the tiniest bit as well. It doesn't alter their character at all, just notches up the smoothness and coherency to 11.

I may be in the minority but I had the MScaler->TT2 combo for a long while as my desktop set up for headphones and it was very nice sounding but - and call me crazy - the sonics I am getting from the DC-Elite into my Trifectas is subjectively better. Better depth and layering, better soundstage...

I believe it gets in through the earpiece itself, not through the insulation.

I have inundated my Cascaras with sweat at this point - I can hold onto it if you guys want. No cable patina yet but I'm really trying...

Implies the cable is not woven in a Litz structure, which prevents oxidation. Otherwise, silver(-plating) especially will oxidate from sweat pretty quickly. Does not affect sound, just looks.

Love this track. Love all his LPs/EPs. So sonically interesting. Making music with 'found' sounds... And yes it tests soundstage depth as well... Great rec!

For sale is a brand new, unopened Cayin RU7. I bought two thinking I might need a back-up. But I'd like to free up the funds for something else. This is my favorite dongle. I have been using the one in the pictures with immense pleasure. The new, unopened one I keep at my office. I can take...

I will have to check some of those out - never heard any of them. Thanks

Sorry to hear this. I find it a pretty balanced set. I would be curious what treble you do like, of your large collection.

Good thing it doesn't need EQ for those who love it! Also "super thin and sibilant" treble? Really? This sounds a little extreme to me, but hey, you heard what you heard.

Um, it does? Tuning categories add up to 100% and Tech categories add up to 100% This was actually an attempt on my part to delve into the utterly subjective variables of it all, the exact opposite of standardization.

This might be an interesting way to share our different focal points when it comes to listening. For me I would say: Tuning: Bass: 50% Mids: 35% Treble: 15% (just cannot be sibilant) Tech: PRaT: 20% Timbre: 20% Dynamics: 15% Imaging/Depth/Soundstage/Background: 45% As you can probably guess...
