FIIO K19, the flagship desktop DAC and headphone amplifier
I would love to know that too. Technically, the K19 should be better, right?- phiemon

Very pointed review. I also liked your honesty regarding critical aspects - which somehow seems to be a rarity on other competing websites. You also reminded me why I couldn't like Anni so much after all, and why I won't be buying it again; I have to admit, I already had the thought. Great...- phiemon

Best technique ever for the AZLA so far for me: take a pair of scissors, insert the scissors into the tip and widen it; it will fit without problems 🤷🏻♂️- phiemon

If so, why not? Whether it will be sold at that price remains to be seen, of course, but I really don't think so 🤔- phiemon

I also have Mentor and I find Anni more mids forwards. A problem I had with Anni (I sold it) was the resolution. What you wrote about Mentor in comparison "really rich" was "resolution" for me. Anni was plastic here, not textured or grainy enough in comparison, if you know what I mean.- phiemon

Recessed mids? For me, it has the most forward mids among the TOTLs I've ever heard 🤷🏻♂️- phiemon

Yes, I will. Maybe I'll manage to watch it this weekend, or next weekend at the latest. But yes, I would really love to. I've never been to London either and I even made the passport for that eventuality - yep, I didn't have one 🫣- phiemon

I was seriously thinking about coming... if that increases the chances of you guys coming :beerchug: In the end, I didn't come to Amsterdam because I wanted to go to London.- phiemon

Yes, I know that. But it's just a little complicated, or rather: too complicated for my taste. Summary: there's a Fir Audio dealer in Berlin, but it doesn't want to take on the job because I didn't buy the Xe6 there and I would have to make contact with the headquarters. I would prefer to order...- phiemon

That's how it was for me! I was able to test the Xe6 a total of one time at Fir Audio and two at home over several days in peace and quiet and at the beginning I just couldn't understand it. It was too... weird. But each time after returning it, a thought remained in my head that was always...- phiemon

Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)
I expressed myself incorrectly, sorry. I just meant that Mentor has been my favorite of the TOTLs for months. I haven't had Raven for long and I think it's technically on another level. For me, there is nothing in this area that Mentor does better. That should actually speak more in favor of...- phiemon
