    Is $2000 The Hi-End Headphone Sweet Spot in Mid-2024?

    Well, I'll just say that you should never look at only one source and leave it at that...

    Is $2000 The Hi-End Headphone Sweet Spot in Mid-2024?

    I don't know what your experience is exactly, but treble tolerance is a thing. Amplify Audio goes into this on his channel, but if you 'train' yourself to take a bit of treble, you'll see the benefits well outweigh the drawbacks. Hifiman headphones are not nearly as sharp as the graphs would...

    Is $2000 The Hi-End Headphone Sweet Spot in Mid-2024?

    Fair enough that you like the HD 800S so much. I can fully understand that you like it more than any Hifiman. But looking at things from a more balanced view this isn't really the case. I have an HD 800 and an Arya Stealth and I already feel as though the Arya Stealth is a much more well-rounded...

    Is $2000 The Hi-End Headphone Sweet Spot in Mid-2024?

    I really want to laud WaveTheory for his process - it's difficult, if not impossible to find someone who has the correct attitude and is as balanced in his opinions and perceptions. A friend of mine put it nicely: "He really tries to remove himself from the review as best he can". The fact that...

    HiFiMan Susvara

    I really don't feel that there's much reason for current owners of the Susvara to be unhappy. It's been around for 7 years. Either it was going to be replaced with a successor, or another brand was going to make something comparable/better. For example, I'm pretty sure that E-Stats are going to...

    Gustard H26 Fully Balanced Class A Headphone Amp

    I've seen you on the H16 thread, giving impressions of it. If you don't mind, please compare the H26 to it for a bit, even if only added to whatever impressions you were already gonna write at some point.

    Introducing HIFIMAN Ananda Nano

    Could you compare the Nano to the L500 MKII? I'm especially interested if the L500 is well above it in speed and how the spatial presentation compares. Oh, and also that 'ethereal' quality that Estats are known for.

    Review by 'Yamato37' on item 'HIFIMAN ANANDA NANO'

    So.... these and the Arya Organic just came out of nowhere. It's been half a year already, but when I first heard about them, I really thought it was like some sort of joke, like somebody parodying the, at times, insane speed that Hifiman updates its products at. In addition to that, I was...

    [FiiO KA17] Mini desktop-class amp, flagship dongle is officially released!

    I've recently also taken a look into the current capabilities of various amps. Your measurements are very helpful. If you look on the Serenade Head-Fi discussion, someone just measured it and showed it can only deliver about 250 mA, which is pathetic for something at that price. From just a...
