    Elysian Annihilator 2023

    I would seriously try first using a multi BA (among others) IEM on the Enleum HPA-23RM before considering buying it for this sole purpose since its current output seriously messes things up with dynamic drivers and their non-linear impedance. What about using the voltage output? Well, I don't...

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    About the A8000, never forget that these are (at least for me and another person I know) reeaaaaaal difficult to get a perfect/good fit with. I've had them for several months now, and only recently did I stumble on the perfect match: custom eartips (from CustomArts incidentally). My ears aren't...

    CustomArt FIBAE Impressions Thread

    Please gimme 6000€ so that temptation feels unobtrusive... Nice work @marcusd and obviously @piotrus-g What specifically shines on me here is the treble being described as being colored. That rings some serious bells along with all the technical proficiencies described. When I am a grown-up...

    Aroma Audio A100TB

    Hi, I have been starting to try some opamp-rolling love, and it turns out this is a little game that can't be played without its rules, namely, rightly plugging the opamps. After a first try with no sound and a suddenly suprisingly hot opamp (no smoke involved, nor visible consequence...

    How is it possible to rate the "naturalness" or how correct timbre is on a headphone?!

    Hi, interesting question and nice point actually. To me, it's borderline marketing communication. Why? As you mentioned, "natural" will vary considerably from one person to another. What's natural to one, won't be for the other because of different listening habits, different equipment and so...

    Hi, back for sale an magnificent portable amp, the Aroma A100TB with its dedicated power supply PS100 and a big handful of OpAmps to play with. Reason for the re-sale?

    Introducing Final latest flagship IEM A8000 featuring Truly Pure Beryllium Dynamic Driver

    Finally got the perfect eartips! Custom ones from Custom Arts. It really makes the A8000 shine, bringing up the subs to Earth-shattering level rumbles and leaving the signature clear and detailed sound up there. And no longer do I need to re-fit the iems every 5min in my ears.

    HiBy R8 User Impressions

    that's what I do in general. Never connect to fast charging. Except this one time. But now I'm fine.

    HiBy R8 User Impressions

    Nope, because I waited for the battery to drain out before I heard of this protection mode. But I guess that's what triggered the seemingly "bricked" status.

    Amps that can drive the HiFiMan HE-6 planar headphones

    What has always swirled my mind is how on Earth a 650mW @32ohm rated Alo Mk3b+ can drive an HE-6 just as well as a 8W @50ohm Audio GD Master 11... Or that a relatively small 1W @32ohm Enleum Amp 23RM can drive them (almost) to their absolute full potential.
