Everything went smoothly, anytime again!

fair price for an excellent pair of IEMs me thinks…

One of the 300 limited edition pairs, S/N 262. Mint condition with all accessories. Check my trade record

It was a pleasure dealing with Magnus, I’d love to trade with him again in the future

I have both, and they are quite different. M9 has a rich and warm mid bass with good texture, but rolls off in sub bass. Z1R has a reverberating and powerful sub bass and lighter mid bass. Love the M9 for texture and vocals, and the Z1R for grande, powerful yet smooth music presentation. I...

Brand new in sealed box. Price in Japan for this set was around 300 Euros. The JVC FD02 is a more balanced and slightly more relaxed sounding version of the famous FD01 and the tuned version Drop FDX1, see the relevant threads...

Selling my barely used DCA AEON 2 Noire in excellent condition. I cannot detect signs of wear. As well known they are very detailed sounding headphones with a balanced tuning and extended base, and come with 3 different sets of tuning pads for reducing the treble if desired. I have used them...

I find the Z1R very clear, well separated and detailed in the midrange, but volume wise it is a bit recessed, which, I believe, also contributes to the vast and deep soundstage. What did you use for source? The Z1R really benefits from a good source, and it should definitely not sound veiled and...

The best place to discuss this is the "Audio Science Forum" Not "believing in" or "hearing" differences between cables is actually a bliss, it really saves you money! :xf_cool: Nice sources! :thumbsup: Could you say something about the differences between how the M9 sounds with the Adi vs the...

Out of curiosity - which CEMA cable did you get and what is your source?
